Hamas Wrecks Havoc On IDF: First Major Blow to Israeli Army in Raging Battle

On Tuesday, Sgt. Ira Yair Gispan, a 19-year-old Israeli soldier, was killed during combat in the southern Gaza Strip, marking the first IDF fatality in their advance into Rafah. This brings the total number of Israeli troops killed in the offensive against Hamas to 273. The IDF's operations in Rafah, which began last week, aim to target Hamas precisely. During these operations, the Givati Brigade raided a Hamas training camp, killing several gunmen and capturing weapons. Nearly 450,000 Palestinians have evacuated Rafah due to intensified IDF operations. Rafah is believed to house significant Hamas forces, leadership, and potential hostages, but international pressure has prevented a full-scale offensive. #IsraelDefenseForces #GazaConflict #Hamas #Rafah #IDF #Combat #PalestinianEvacuation #GazaStrip #Israel #MiddleEast #WarOnTerror #MilitaryOperation #HostageCrisis #October7 #InternationalPressure ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.155~

Israel's 'Nightmare': Hezbollah and Iraqi Islamic Resistance Unleash Chaos on IDF Headquarters

The Iraqi resistance group has intensified its attacks on Israeli targets, employing suicide drones to target military installations in Umm al-Rashrash and Eilat's port. This marks the first use of Al-Arfad suicide drones in operations against Israeli and U.S. forces. Additionally, the group conducted operations against Israeli army sites along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, targeting Ma'ale Golani barracks and the Al-Samaqa site in the eastern sector, as well as buildings used by Israeli soldiers in Al-Malikiya and Avivim settlements in the western sector. The group has claimed responsibility for these attacks, sharing footage of their execution. Moreover, they downed an Israeli spy balloon hovering over Adamit in northern Israel, shooting it down after identifying its control centre in Israel. These attacks have escalated since the Israeli offensive in Rafag, despite warnings. #IraqiResistance #IsraeliSettlements #Hezbollah #IsraelSpyBalloon #IsraeliSpyBalloonShot #IsraeliArmySettlements #LebanonBorder #EilatPortAttack #AlArfadDrones #RafahOffensive #Israel #GazaSupport #DroneStrike #MilitaryConflict #MiddleEast #SecurityThreat ~PR.152~ED.194~

An Indian UN worker lost his life in Gaza after a targeted attack on a UN vehicle in Rafah, marking the first international casualty in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The incident highlights the risks faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, emphasising the need to protect humanitarian workers. Indian UN representative Ruchira Kamboj condemned civilian casualties and emphasised adherence to international law. The attack follows the UN's backing of Palestinian membership bid, with 143 countries, including India, voting for recognition, prompting a call for reconsideration by the Security Council after a US veto last month. #GazaWar #UNWorkerKilled #RafahAttack #UNVehicleAttack #UNSecurity #IsraelGazaWar #UN #DSSWorker #ConflictZone #HumanitarianSafety ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.124~HT.96~
