As the war between Israel and Hamas is intensifying, reports emerged revealing that the United States is quietly expanding its military facility in Israel.
Code-named āSite 512,ā the base currently serves as a radar facility for monitoring the skies for missile attacks on Israel.
However, as per a US media report the facility was built not to monitor missiles incoming from the Gaza Strip but for the mid-range missiles of Iran.
Thatās why the facility could not detect when Hamas fired as many as 2,200 rockets into Israel on the morning of October 7.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed US President Biden's threat to halt arms sales over a potential ground operation in Rafah. Netanyahu asserted Israel's ability to stand alone and fight fiercely if needed, citing historical precedent. Despite Biden's concerns about civilian casualties, Netanyahu remains determined. The US decision to pause bomb shipments to Israel further underscores escalating tensions between the two allies.

Israel announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom border crossing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, just four days after its closure following a rocket attack that tragically claimed the lives of four soldiers. In a collaborative effort between the Israeli army and COGAT, the defence ministry body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs, trucks loaded with vital supplies such as food, water, shelter equipment, medicine, and medical supplies, generously donated by the international community, have begun arriving at the crossing from Egypt.
These essential supplies will undergo thorough inspection before being transferred to the Gaza side of the crossing, ensuring their safe and efficient delivery to those in need. Additionally, the statement highlighted the reopening of the Erez border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, further facilitating the flow of aid into the Palestinian territory. This swift response underscores Israel's commitment to addressing the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza, even in the face of security challenges, and demonstrates a willingness to engage in cooperative efforts to alleviate suffering and promote stability in the region.

Hamasās armed wing said that the commander of its forces in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank was among four members of the group killed during a day-long Israeli raid in the town of Dayr al-Ghusun. A statement from the Izzaldin al-Qassam Brigades names Alaa Shreiteh, 45, as commander of the al-Qassam Brigades in the Tulkarem governorate. Shreiteh was jailed by Israel between 2002 and 2016. According to the IDF, there was a twelve-hour gun battle in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank between its forces and Hamas militants in which four Hamas men were killed. However, the identity of Alaa Shreiteh was revealed by the al-Qassim brigade early on Sunday. Hamas confirmed that four of the men killed during the raid in Deir al-Ghusun village were from its al-Qassam armed wing. The Palestinian health ministry said their bodies had been taken by the Israeli military. There was no information about the fifth man, whose body was too disfigured for immediate identification, the Palestinian health ministry in the West Bank said.
