Hamas reports: We are holding 163 hostages

In the course of raids into the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF located and destroyed a terror tunnel in the Beit Lahia area.

No casualties have been reported from the attack so far. One rocket has started a fire near Kibbutz Erez.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the return of the bodies of the hostages who had been held by Hamas and expressed his condolences to the families. He also reiterated his commitment to the mission of bringing everyone home.

Noa Argamani paid tribute to Arnon Zamora, who led the rescue operation that freed her from Hamas captivity in Gaza and was killed during the mission. "I promise you that I will remember and honor you and your act of heroism everywhere. You will always be in my heart."

Recent IDF operations have revealed troubling data about Hamas's terror tunnels. "It's like a spider's web: if you cut one tunnel, alternative tunnels automatically appear, and the network can continue to exist," said Uri Isaac on N12, quoting a senior security official.

Hours after a terror attack in Samaria in which 3 soldiers were injured, IDF forces continue to scan the area for the attackers. Since the beginning of the week, approximately 50 wanted individuals have been arrested throughout Judea and Samaria.

In an unequivocal statement, the Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee for President harshly criticized the protestors for their support for Hamas and desecration of the American flag.

According to the report in the Wall Street Journal, officials in the US, Israel and the Arab countries mark the former senior Fatah official, Muhammad Dahlan, as the man who will rule Gaza at the end of the war.

According to IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari, the bodies were found in a tunnel in an area previously designated as part of the humanitarian zone.

Publication was allowed to announce the death of Sergeant Noam Douek, 19 years old, from Kirit Motzkin, an armoured fighter in the 9th Battalion, for the tank Unit (401), was killed in battle in the southern Gaza Strip. In the incident in which he was killed, two other armoured fighters were seriously injured.

Israeli authorities on alert as reports suggest potential game-changer in regional conflict.

The IDF reports that Hamas launched a rocket salvo from the edge of the humanitarian zone which fell short and hit an UNRWA school in the Khan Yunis area, causing casualties.
