News Update
Hamas says that it will not engage in new ceasefire negotiations and that continued Israeli attacks on Gaza would result in “the killing of many Israeli hostages.” Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Hamas had rejected all of the proposals presented by U.S. envoy Witkoff and that negotiations would now occur “under fire”. He said, “Israel will now act against Hamas with increasing force. Hamas has already felt our military power in the past 24 hours. I promise you—and them—this is just the beginning. We will keep fighting until we achieve all of our war objectives. Gaza will no longer be a threat to Israel.”
Meanwhile, thousands demonstrated in Jerusalem against the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief and what they call the “abandonment of the hostages to their fate” in the renewal of the Gaza war. [This is exactly what Hamas wants, and they are using the hostages as psychological warfare tools to achieve disunity and unrest in Israel.]
The IDF eliminated terrorists today in northern Gaza, who were preparing to launch rockets at Israel. The IDF dropped leaflets warning residents of Khan Younis to immediately evacuate to safety ahead of an attack. Israeli attacks are occurring throughout Gaza. The surprise air strikes yesterday eliminated at least 6 senior Hamas officials and commanders and one Islamic Jihad leader.
