In a devastating blow to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Al-Qassam Brigades have claimed responsibility for the deadly explosion that killed an IDF soldier in southern Gaza. This marks the second IDF casualty in just two days, following the tragic death of Sgt. Yosef Yehuda Chirak from friendly fire in northern Gaza. The latest attack underscores the relentless offensive by Hamas, as the militant group continues to target Israeli forces with increasing intensity. With the conflict showing no signs of slowing down, the toll on the IDF grows, bringing the total number of Israeli soldiers killed since the warâs outbreak to 858.

U.S. intelligence suggests Israel may strike Iranian nuclear sites this year, despite President Trumpâs ongoing diplomatic talks with Tehran. Military activity and intercepted messages indicate Israel is preparing for possible action as negotiations stall. Trump issued a 60-day ultimatum to Iran, keeping military options open. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces pressure to block a weak deal without alienating Trump. With Iranâs defenses weakened and enrichment continuing, the risk of unilateral Israeli action grows, potentially disrupting U.S.-Iran diplomacy and escalating regional tensions.

Israeli right-wing figure Moshe Feiglin is under fire after declaring âevery baby in Gaza is an enemy,â calling for full colonization of the region and the removal of all children to win the war. His remarks came as former IDF General Yair Golan accused Israel of committing atrocities and warned of becoming a global pariah. Golan's comments were denounced by PM Netanyahu as âblood libel.â The escalating rhetoric reflects a growing ideological divide in Israel as tensions over the Gaza war intensify.

Hamas welcomed a rare joint statement from the UK, France, and Canada that sharply criticized Israelâs Gaza offensive and threatened concrete action if hostilities continue. The three nations demanded an immediate end to Israel's Operation Gideonâs Chariots and full restoration of humanitarian aid. Hamas hailed the move as a âprincipled stanceâ against what it called genocide and forced displacement in Gaza. The Westâs warning could reshape international pressure on Israel, with potential sanctions and trade reviews looming. Netanyahu, however, dismissed the declaration as a betrayal of Israelâs fight against barbarism.
