Gaza Strip
Shiri Bibas, 32, and her two children, Kfir and Ariel, were murdered in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Reut Ben-Chaim, a mother of eight and co-founder of Tzav 9, a group opposed to the entry of aid into Gaza, was slapped with U.S. sanctions targeting “extremist” individuals “undermining peace in the region.”
The army reiterated its call to “obey IDF instructions, not approach forces deployed in the area and pass through agreed checkpoints.”
“There is an agreement in principle to release the four fallen [captives] even before the set date,” an unnamed official in Jerusalem said.
“Everyone sees that Hamas is a terror group whose goal is to murder. They will not stay there, and Gaza will look different—and that is what will happen,” said the Israeli transportation minister.
“Hamas will not rule Gaza. They will not cause another Oct. 7. And we will work with Israel to make sure that doesn’t happen,” the US national security advisor stated.
She will speak at the monthly session on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The group drew connections between the hand symbol on the pin and the deaths of the Bibas children, stating they were “strangled to death by the terrorist’s bare hands.”
Hamas published a propaganda video showing Israeli hostages Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Evyatar David forced to watch their friends’ release ceremony from Gaza.
“We must get every hostage home. The United States should never leave any man or woman behind,” the New Jersey congressman stated.
“The commandment of redeeming captives is a supreme duty that embodies the highest bond between a nation and its citizens.”
The projectile was reportedly launched from Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.
