IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA) special forces successfully eliminated Hussein Fiad, the Commander of Hamas’ Beit Hanoun Battalion, in an underground area in Jabaliya. Fiad was a high-ranking terrorist responsible for launching numerous anti-tank missiles and mortar attacks on Israeli territory and communities near the northern Gaza Strip.
The Head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, and the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oren Marmorstein, on Friday released a statement responding to the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to halt its operation in the Gazan city of Rafah. “The charges of genocide brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice in the Hague are false, outrageous and morally repugnant,” they said. “Following the horrific attack against the citizens of Israel on October 7th, 2023, Israel embarked upon a defensive and just war to eliminate Hamas and to secure…

Avivit and Orit Yablonka, sisters of Israeli hostage Hanan Yablonka, described how they felt on Friday morning when the IDF informed them that they had retrieved their brother’s body from Gaza. “We woke up to a black morning, we are crushed and broken, don’t know how to cope, couldn’t have imagined this,” the sisters said. Hanan’s father Reuven describes receiving the sad news, “At seven in the morning, friends called me and asked if it was true, I had no idea what they wanted from me.”
The bodies of three more hostages: Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez Radoux, were rescued during a joint IDF and Shin Bet operation.

At the beginning of the operation, intense combat was carried…

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has played the role of shadow secretary of state this year. Back in April, Graham, a South Carolina Republican, traveled to Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a week after a trip to Saudi Arabia yielded a sit-down with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
