Hamas has released Avera Mengistu, the longest-held Israeli captive, as part of an ongoing ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
Mengistu, an Israeli-Ethiopian citizen, had been held in Gaza since 2014 after crossing into the territory.
His family celebrated his long-awaited release, and emotional footage shows him reuniting with loved ones near the Gaza border.
The exchange is part of a hostage-prisoner swap, but the future of the ceasefire agreement remains uncertain.
Watch the heartwarming moment of Mengistuâs return!

A leaked plan reportedly under consideration by U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to place the Gaza Strip under American control and forcibly relocate millions of Palestinians. Hamas has strongly condemned the proposal, calling it a form of ethnic cleansing, while ordinary Gazans insist their homeland is not for sale. The controversial plan envisions Gaza as a âtourist Rivieraâ and high-tech zone, displacing its current population either abroad or into restricted areas. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue heavy operations in Gaza City, destroying homes and killing dozens of civilians, escalating the humanitarian crisis.

Houthis fired two ballistic missiles at Israel, but both fell short and landed in Saudi Arabia, marking a dangerous escalation in the Red Sea. One of the strikes targeted an Israeli-linked oil tanker near the Saudi port of Yanbu. The incident comes amid growing regional tensions as Yemenâs Houthi forces expand their operations beyond the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Saudi Arabia is on high alert, while Israel monitors the situation closely. Experts warn that attacks like these could further destabilize maritime security and threaten key oil routes in the region.

Israel expands gun permits, 100,000 more eligible as critics warn of rising civilian militias
Israelâs National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has expanded gun licensing laws, making 100,000 more Israelis eligible for firearms amid soaring West Bank violence. Since the 2023 Hamas attack, more than 230,000 Israelis have received new permits, including settlers accused of driving Palestinians from their homes. Critics warn Ben-Gvirâs plan is fueling a civilian militia that targets Palestinians, deepening tensions and risking further bloodshed. Arab leaders and rights groups condemn the move, citing his extremist rhetoric, including calls to shoot women and children resisting Israeli operations. The decision marks Israelâs sharpest militarization of civilians in decades.

In a stunning admission, the Israeli military has confessed to failure in its Gaza campaign, according to a secret document revealed by Channel 12. Brig. Gen. Guy Hazutâs report states Israel failed to crush Hamas militarily or politically, secure 75% of Gaza, or rescue captives, bluntly declaring: âWe failed.â The disclosure comes as Israel reports 900 soldiers killed and over 6,200 wounded since the war began. Rising suicides among reservists highlight the growing mental toll, fueling debate over Netanyahuâs Gaza strategy.

The Yemeni Houthis have issued a chilling warning to Israel after Prime Minister Al-Rahawi was killed in Israeli strikes. Yemeni Armed Forces Chief Mohammed Al-Ghamari vowed âharsh and painfulâ revenge, declaring Israel had opened the âGates of Hell.â Soon after, Houthis struck the Israeli oil tanker Scarlet Ray in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile, calling it an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. With vows to escalate until Israel lifts the Gaza siege, fears of all-out regional war are growing.
