Netanyahu orders tougher IDF strikes on Hezbollah as drone attacks persist

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the IDF to 'hit the gas' against Hezbollah amid ongoing drone attacks from Lebanon, claiming the military has killed more than 600 Hezbollah militants in recent weeks and urging stronger action while praising northern residents’ resilience. The remarks came as IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir floated striking Beirut in response to Hezbollah drones, with ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir calling for a tougher approach, including attacks in Lebanon. A US official said Hezbollah has ignored ultimatums and warned that the status quo is untenable.

Israeli Hasbara flotilla counters Gaza-bound flotilla off Herzliya

Jewish and Arab Israeli activists launched a smaller counter flotilla, the Hasbara flotilla, in Israeli waters off Herzliya to counter the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. Led by Yoseph Haddad, they said the mission was to show the difference between them and the 'terror flotilla' and to safeguard Israel’s sovereignty; the ships stayed in Israeli waters for several hours before returning to port, while protesters waved signs mocking the GSF and Haddad accused the organizers of Hamas ties and Erdogan of supporting terror.

Hamas Gaza chief’s surface moves tipped off IDF and ended his run

Hamas’s Gaza military chief Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, who had largely operated underground under strict rules, began venturing above ground to project control during a US-brokered ceasefire. Security officials say these breaches allowed Israeli intelligence to track him and kill him in a Gaza City hideout, as Haddad’s efforts to sustain Hamas’s military and financial networks amid mounting pressure contributed to his downfall.

IDF Captain Recanati Killed in Lebanon Clash; wedding plans cut short

Capt. Maoz Israel Recanati, 24, from Itamar, a platoon commander in the Golani Brigade’s 12th Battalion, was killed in combat in southern Lebanon and was posthumously promoted to captain; he was due to marry his fiancée in about a month. The Prime Minister offered condolences. In the same period, two other IDF soldiers were reported killed in Lebanon amid Hezbollah activity: Staff-Sgt. Negev Dagan (20) and First Sergeant (res.) Alexander Glovanyov (47). A preliminary investigation indicated Hezbollah launched a fiber-optic drone toward Israel, which hit Glovanyov’s tank carrier near the border.
