Gaza Strip
As ceasefire tensions continue, an earlier airstrike thwarted an imminent attack in southern Gaza.
The return of the 15 bodies was “part of the agreement” brokered by the United States, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office told JNS.
Musa Abu Marzouk claimed Hamas has veto power over members of the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, which is meant to exclude the terror group.
All military terror and offensive infrastructure will be destroyed, said Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Islamic Jihad’s Akram Al-Ajouri reportedly told Hamas: “Even if a thousand people die from friendly fire, that’s the price of war.”
The Israeli military shared video and images of Operation Courageous Heart, which located and returned the body of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili from a Gaza City cemetery, bringing all Oct. 7 hostages home.
The Israeli premier said that Gaza would be demilitarized “the easy way or the hard way.”
The Israeli military on Monday released new details about “Operation Brave Heart.”
National Unity Party leader Benny Ganz said that he does not believe that Turkish forces will be deployed to the Gaza Strip.
“We have an interest in advancing this phase, not delaying it,” the premier told Knesset lawmakers.
“The Trump plan brought the hostages home,” Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) wrote. “Now in its next phase, Hamas must disarm so we can move toward a broader peace.”
The Jewish state “must oppose any party that seeks to rebuild Gaza,” the group said.
