🎯 HAMAS COMMANDERS TARGETED IN GAZA: The IDF struck a meeting of Hamas Nukhba commanders in the Shati area of northern Gaza, including a company commander, three platoon commanders and several additional terrorists who were advancing attacks against IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip. One of those targeted had infiltrated Israel and participated in the October 7 Massacre.
The IDF said the terrorists were targeted in a precise aerial strike to remove the threat and that further updates on the results would follow.
Gazan media initially reported one person killed and several wounded in an Israeli strike targeting a café near the Gaza City port. Later reports said six people were killed and 10 wounded.
📍 INTERNATIONAL FORCE PREPARATIONS: Officers from Uganda and Burundi toured a base near Gaza ahead of the planned deployment of hundreds of their troops to the Strip.
🔸 GAZA DISARMAMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION: Prime Minister Netanyahu criticized Jared Kushner over his meeting with the Hamas leadership and made clear that targeted killings in Gaza would continue. Afterward, Kushner and Mladenov met with President Herzog.
The Prime Minister’s Office said: “The Prime Minister and the Peace Council held in-depth and constructive discussions. It was agreed to establish two working groups: one on disarmament and the demilitarization of Gaza, which Israel and the Peace Council are determined must be completed swiftly before any reconstruction in Gaza takes place. A second working group will focus on sanitation, clean water, and other public health issues for Gaza residents, which also affect Israeli citizens.”
A senior Peace Council official said: “There will be no redeployment of the IDF out of Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed and all of Gaza is demilitarized.”
“If Hamas attempts to rebuild its military capabilities, Israel will be able to take action.”
Netanyahu agreed that “Israel will honor its previous commitments.”
Kushner told Fox News: “We could see progress in Gaza within a month. Hopefully, we’ll begin removing some of the weapons, and hopefully, we’ll seal off some of the tunnels over the next three months.”
✈️ IAF APACHE SQUADRON RELOCATING: One of the Israeli Air Force’s two Apache helicopter squadrons is relocating to Ramat David Airbase.
🇮🇱 E1 HOUSING MARKETING BEGINS: After more than 30 years of promises and international pressure, marketing has begun for the first approximately 1,400 housing units in the E1 area. The plan will connect Ma’ale Adumim to Jerusalem and create Israeli settlement contiguity in the area.
Western countries have previously “warned” that the move would “divide the West Bank in two.”
Ma’ale Adumim Mayor Guy Yifrah said: “This is one of the greatest achievements for Israel and Ma’ale Adumim. Today, we are turning a vision into reality.”
🛡️ COLOMBIA MISSION MOVES TO RECOVERY PHASE: Approximately one week after the earthquake and following the Colombian government’s declaration, operations are transitioning toward recovery while efforts to locate missing people continue.
Personnel from the “Alliance of Brothers” delegation, together with local and international search-and-rescue teams, continue operating at several major disaster sites in Cali. To date, personnel have contributed to locating and rescuing 17 missing people. The recovery phase will include increased mapping and assessment of damaged structures alongside continued efforts to locate additional missing people.
The IDF said: “We are bringing extensive experience, knowledge, advanced search and rescue capabilities, and offering technologies and tools that will help the local authorities manage the response, both in the life-saving effort and in the next phase of recovery.”
