Rafah

The Belgian government's statement said at least seven people were killed by the strike on a building that housed about 25 people.

In anticipation of the controversial Rafah operation, Egypt celebrates the land it was given back in 1982.

There is a “different way to go about dealing with the Hama threat in Rafah,” US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters in Washington on Wednesday.

The group has a large arsenal of rockets, missiles, and drones. However, Hezbollah is also “too big to fail” in the Iranian proxy context.

The IDF announced on Wednesday morning that it recruited two reserve brigades to continue the defense and attack mission in the Gaza Strip under the command of Division 99.

Lerner traded his civilian clothes and his position as head of international liaison for the Histadrut for an IDF uniform and returned to the spokesman’s office to get Israel’s message out.

Iran must be held accountable for its exceptional attack. The Israeli response, immediate but also intended to have a lasting impact, was based on Iran's intention to cause destruction.

Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and related groups often exploit Jewish holidays to create increased tensions.

Blinken reiterated the US is committed to ensuring that Hamas does not play a future role in running the Gaza Strip.

If Israel is not free to act without the blessing of Western powers, their support is a mixed blessing indeed.
