IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir summoned several senior officers who served on October 7 and are being held responsible for failures surrounding the massacre.

Terrorists attempting to flee through underground tunnels were captured or eliminated as Hamas delays return of hostage remains and continue to issue threats regarding ceasefire.

The IDF intercepted 17 Hamas terrorists fleeing Rafah tunnels, killing 11 and arresting six, as an observation officer described how her unit led the detection and targeting effort.

Israeli defense officials say Hamas is rebuilding and coordinating with Hezbollah and Iran to challenge the ceasefire across multiple fronts.

“The IDF will not tolerate the behavior of a criminal minority that stains a law-abiding public," IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said in a statement.

The IDF reveals its Intelligence Directorate's findings on Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure across southern Lebanon, with targeted counterterror strikes on key areas including Nabatiya and Tyre.

The main method of attack would likely involve launching missiles and drones from Iraqi territory, following a pattern similar to the one used during the first days of the Israel-Hamas War.

Israel is working on alternative options if Hamas does not comply with demands to return the remains of hostages still in Gaza, security establishment insiders say.

Of the 12, two of them were moderately wounded, and the other ten were lightly wounded. 

The Qatari network Al Araby TV reported that International Committee of the Red Cross vehicles entered the Rafah area to take part in the effort.
