The Israeli military claims to have severely degraded Hamas's fighting force in Rafah, Gaza, killing at least 550 gunmen after over 40 days of combat operations. Two of Hamas's four battalions in Rafah are considered almost completely dismantled. The IDF located hundreds of rockets and tunnels in the border area with Egypt. Fighting continues as Israeli forces advance deeper into Rafah under heavy fire from remaining Hamas militants. Over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed so far in the conflict.

Eleven Israeli soldiers were laid to rest on Sunday after being killed in separate incidents during fighting in the Gaza Strip over the weekend. Most were from the Combat Engineering Corps' 601st Battalion and died in a deadly blast in Rafah. Others included reservists killed by an explosive device in northern Gaza and soldiers who succumbed to earlier wounds. The somber day marked significant losses for the IDF in its offensive against Hamas.

Hamas fighters ambushed Israeli military forces in Rafah, killing 8 soldiers in one of the deadliest recent attacks. Despite 307 Israeli troop deaths since October, Hamas maintains strength after recruiting thousands. Ceasefire efforts falter as Hamas demands full Israeli withdrawal while Israel wants to "eradicate" Hamas first. International calls for restraint grow amid mounting Palestinian civilian casualties.

On June 14, the armed military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, declared that an Israeli bombardment on Rafah a few days earlier had killed two Israeli hostages in Gaza. "Your government (the Israeli government) only wants to recover the hostages in coffins," Hamas said in a Telegram video. However, neither the Israeli military nor the hostages' families have confirmed Hamas' claim about the captives.
