Al-Qassam Brigades have reportedly destroyed one of Israel's most advanced and expensive tanks — the Merkava-4, worth $10 million — in a major battlefield blow.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), known for their technological superiority, suffered the loss as the tank’s “invincible” armor was penetrated during intense ground clashes.
The attack raises questions about the vulnerability of even Israel’s most elite military hardware amid escalating hostilities.
Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.

In a chilling accusation, the Director of Al-Shifa Hospital claims that Israel is preparing a major massacre in Gaza and has begun by targeting journalists to silence the truth. Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea, along with three cameramen, were killed in a strike near the hospital. Al Jazeera has called it a "targeted assassination" and a direct attack on press freedom. The IDF claims the journalists were affiliated with Hamas but has provided no credible evidence. With international outrage growing and journalists under fire, is this the beginning of a blackout before a bloodbath?

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

The Al-Qassam Brigades have released dramatic footage showing the targeting of three Israeli armored personnel carriers (APCs) in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis. According to their statement, two APCs were hit with explosive devices during martyrdom operations, while a third was struck with a Yassin-105 shell. Following the ambush, a military excavator was seen attempting to bury the burning vehicles, possibly to prevent further explosions or recovery.
Helicopters later landed to evacuate the casualties. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of three soldiers and acknowledged several injuries in the attack. The strike represents a significant escalation in the eastern Khan Yunis front, highlighting the continued intensity and evolving tactics of Palestinian resistance. The footage has since gone viral, further fueling tensions and drawing global attention to the relentless warfare in the Gaza Strip as Israeli ground units suffer direct hits deep inside contested areas.

Hamas fighters scored another blow to Israeli forces in Gaza, killing two soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade during an operation in Khan Younis. The troops were inside an armored vehicle hit by an explosive. The IDF confirmed the deaths, raising its combat toll to 462 since October 2023. Hamas, reportedly reorganized, is deploying deadly tactics using tunnel-based explosives. Amid rising losses, criticism mounts over Israel’s military strategy, mental health crisis, and the recall of PTSD-affected troops.
