Gaza War

One month after Israeli naval forces intercepted the vessel "Madleen", the "Freedom Flotilla to Gaza" organization announced Monday that another humanitarian ship will attempt to reach Gaza on July 13.

Fourteen additional fighters were wounded in the incident – two seriously, six moderately and six lightly. They were evacuated to hospitals and their families were notified.

A comprehensive new investigation has uncovered systematic sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack on Israel, with previously unheard testimony revealing that rape and sexual abuse were employed as tactical weapons of war across multiple locations and continued throughout captivity in Gaza.

Speaking to the Arabic-language public broadcaster Makan Radio, Yasser Abu Shabab, the head of the Popular Forces Militia in the Gaza Strip, said he was not afraid of Hamas' threats. Palestinian terrorist factions issued a statement declaring his blood "permitted," proclaiming: "The fate of traitors is the garbage heap of history."

The meeting will focus on two central issues – arrangements to ensure Iran does not rebuild nuclear capabilities and future phases of the Gaza war amid efforts to reach a new hostage deal.

The Hamas terror group would also forgo public handover events similar to those conducted when freeing captives during the January-March truce, the sources indicated.

Initial IDF data points to a significant shift: Hamas loses its grip on the population. Four aid distribution points have been established, flour prices have dropped to their lowest since the war began, and 50 million food packages have been delivered to the Strip.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz are expected to meet with the IDF General Staff Forum, in a discussion set to both congratulate military leadership on the achievements of Operation Rising Lion and determine the next phase of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.

In a meeting with senior security officials, the IDF chief of staff is expected to present progress on operations in the Strip, with an emphasis on the following message: Israeli forces are close to completing control over 75% of the Gaza Strip.
