Gaza Strip

There are over 60 million tons of rubble in Gaza, the UN official claimed, enough to nearly fill 3,000 container ships, and enough for everyone in Gaza to be surrounded by 30 tons of it on average.

“Hamas is finished,” a Palestinian Authority official told The Jerusalem Post. “They understand that they no longer have legitimacy.”

There are a few answers to the major existential questions that have held the "Day After" in Gaza hostage. But the answers, good or bad, will likely start to become clearer in the coming months.

The interim governing body for Gaza will have 15 members, according to Witkoff, though their names have not been confirmed. It remains unclear how Hamas will be disarmed as required by the plan.

Six Hamas fighters were spotted by IDF surveillance on Tuesday, trying to surprise and ambush the military. After counter-fire and additional operations, all six terrorists were killed.

The future of the International Stabilization Force is also in question, as the only major success so far has been the CMCC, the US's coordination center in Kiryat Gat.

In southern Gaza, troops found a multi-barrel rocket launcher and a rocket positioned nearby. Both were dismantled, the IDF said.

Emily Damari and Romi Gonen also recalled their harrowing time in captivity, their bond through music, and their emotional journey after the Oct. 7 massacre during a Galgaltz show on Monday.

The Israel Air Force struck and killed the terrorists, who were approaching troops from the 188th Brigade, according to the army's statement. 

Housam al-Astal, leader of the Gazan "Counterterrorism Service," claimed responsibility for killing a Hamas police chief, warning those working with the group of imminent death.

The composition of the Board of Peace, which will oversee the proposed technocratic Palestinian government, is expected to be announced this month.
