Iran confirms President was wounded in 'Israeli' strike on security council
A senior Iranian official said Sunday that 'Israel' attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a key meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council amid the recent twelve-day war. The official, speaking to Al Jazeera, claimed that the assassination attempt was part of an 'Israeli' plan aimed at toppling the Iranian regime. He added that 'Israel' deliberately targeted Pezeshkian during a high-level strategic meeting intended to coordinate Iran's response to 'Israeli' attacks. The attempt reportedly aimed to strike Iran's executive, legislative, and judicial leaders simultaneously in order to paralyze the state. The official revealed that Tehran has launched a wide-scale investigation into the incident, suspecting the involvement of an internal agent. He warned that the attack 'will not go unanswered' and that Israel 'will pay the price.' On Saturday, Iran's Fars News Agency reported that President Pezeshkian was injured in the June 16 'Israeli' strike on the Supreme National Security Council. He reportedly sustained leg injuries during the attack.

Netanyahu claims Hamas rejected proposed deal, insists on remaining in Gaza
'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Sunday that Hamas has rejected recent captive exchange proposals, including a plan advanced by 'Israeli' negotiator Ronen Bar and another by international mediators. 'We want a deal, but not one that allows Hamas to repeat the crimes it committed,' Netanyahu reportedly told 'Israeli' media, insisting that any agreement must involve dismantling Hamas's military capabilities and preventing its rearmament. He added that 'Israel' remains committed to bringing home the captives, but said this must go hand-in-hand with what he described as the destruction of Hamas. Netanyahu rejected accusations from 'Israeli' media that he is obstructing negotiations, claiming they are 'echoing Hamas propaganda.' He also dismissed recent polls showing strong public support for a deal, calling them 'engineered surveys.' Netanyahu defended his recent four-day visit to Washington, which many reports say failed to yield a ceasefire announcement, calling it 'very successful' and accusing media outlets of misrepresenting both his intentions and public sentiment. 'We accepted the deal, the [US envoy Steve] Witkoff framework, and even the modified version suggested by the mediators. Hamas refused it,' he claimed, referring to ongoing talks in Doha. He alleged that Hamas's goal is to remain in Gaza, rearm, and continue launching attacks, stating: 'I won't accept that.' Netanyahu also dismissed polling data showing widespread support for a deal, arguing that the questions fail to present the full picture. 'These are manipulated polls… They don't ask: Do you want a deal that leaves Hamas in place so it can commit murder, rape, and kidnappings again?' Reiterating his position, Netanyahu said: 'We must insist on releasing the hostages and on the other war objective: eliminating Hamas and ensuring Gaza can no longer threaten Israel. That's what I'm doing.' In response, 'Israel's' Channel 12 clarified that its survey, showing 74 percent support for a deal, including 60 percent of Netanyahu coalition voters, asked whether respondents supported releasing all captives in exchange for ending the war in Gaza.

New Hamas tactics against 'Israeli' soldiers in Gaza revealed
Hamas fighters in Gaza have 'shifted to a strategy of sacrifice, showing significantly more audacity and engaging in close combat' in an attempt to capture 'Israeli' soldiers, one senior official said, cited by Hebrew news outlet 'Israel Hayom'. As the military pushes deeper into urban areas of Gaza, the 'Israeli' military is concerned that Hamas' efforts could come to a fruition. After 21 months of war, the change in combat strategy came after the 'Israeli' military changed its approach after the latest ceasefire ended in March. Previously, it relied on short, targeted raids, but the military's goal now is to maintain a continuous presence in Gaza and its cities, the report adds. One recent incident happened last week, where Hamas fighters charged head-on an 'Israeli' soldier operating a bulldozer in the southern city of Khan Younis, killing him at close quarters after he abandoned the machinery. Hamas' military wing released a video of the incident, showing the fighters standing on top of the soldiers' lifeless body, after they took his firearms. Another recent incident happened in north Gaza's Beit Hanoun, where a planted IED killed at least five soldiers during night hours. Following the detonation, reports in Hebrew media said helicopters were deployed amid heavy gunfire as Hamas fighters charged the 'Israeli' soldiers to possibly carry out a kidnapping. The 'Israeli' military now instructs its troops to stay vigilant, but the issue poses a risk for military commanders. The army is now awaiting a decision from the government regarding the next phase of operations in Gaza, as the current operation, named 'Gideon's Chariots' is nearing its end.
