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.

Dozens of Extremist Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Under Israeli Police Protection - Jordan News
Dozens of Extremist Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa Under Israeli Police Protection Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound (Al-Haram Al-Sharif) in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday morning, entering through the Moroccan Gate under heavy protection from Israeli occupation police. اضافة اعلان According to a statement by the Islamic Waqf Department in occupied Jerusalem, the settlers roamed the courtyards of the holy site, received briefings about the so-called "Temple," and performed Talmudic rituals in the eastern part of the compound. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued to impose tight restrictions on Palestinian worshippers, seizing their ID cards at the mosque's outer gates and obstructing their access. Widespread calls have been issued urging residents of Jerusalem and Palestinians in the occupied interior to mobilize, remain present, and maintain a steadfast presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque. The calls emphasize the importance of mass turnout and performing prayers at the mosque as a practical response to the occupation's ongoing violations, and to resist attempts to isolate the holy site from its religious and popular surroundings. Al-Aqsa Mosque faces near-daily incursions and violations by settlers—except on Fridays and Saturdays—under the protection of Israeli police, in what is widely seen as part of efforts to impose a temporal and spatial division of the mosque. — (Petra)
