Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

In a bold operation, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a fierce ambush on Israeli troops in Gazaâs Shujaiya neighborhood, wounding senior officers. The attack is part of a growing resistance against Israel's ongoing "Gideonâs Chariots" operation. As tensions escalate, the operation faces widespread criticism for its lack of legitimacy and clarity in military objectives. Meanwhile, Palestinian factions continue to make significant gains, with the Israeli military suffering casualties and even losing control of valuable intelligence assets.
