"Israeli Family Celebrates 1st Birthday of Youngest Hamas Hostage Amidst Ongoing Conflict"

Israeli President Isaac Herzog dismissed global calls for peace in Gaza, stating that Israelis have lost trust in the peace process due to neighboring countries glorifying terror. He emphasized the need for real safety and global support in Israel's efforts to crush Hamas, warning that the "barbaric jihadists" pose a threat to the entire free world. Meanwhile, the Israeli military destroyed a major Hamas manufacturing site in Gaza, the European Parliament called for a permanent ceasefire, and eight Palestinian gunmen were killed in the West Bank. In a separate development, Pakistan launched retaliatory airstrikes in Iran, killing at least nine people in response to Iran's strikes on separatist camps in Pakistan.
