Egyptian official reacts to Ambush in Khan Yunis that killed four Israeli soldiers
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Bakry commented on the losses sustained by the Israeli army in battles in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, yesterday. He asserted that 'the catastrophe of the Israeli dead in Khan Yunis confirms that the Palestinian people will not kneel and that the resistance will not end as long as the rights of the Palestinian people remain trampled.'
Bakry continued: 'Netanyahu is deluded if he thinks that occupying Gaza and annihilating many of its people is enough to impose a surrender plan. The Palestinian people do not know defeat or kırılma, and peace will only be achieved with the return of rights and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.'
On Friday, the Israeli army announced the killing of four soldiers in a building collapse in the Bani Suheila neighborhood of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, due to an explosive device detonating on Friday morning.
The Israeli army spokesperson confirmed the deaths of Reserve Major General Chen Gros, 33, a soldier in the Magian unit of the Commando Brigade; Sergeant Yoav River, 19, from the Warburg unit, a soldier in the Yahalom unit of the Combat Engineering Corps; and two other soldiers whose families have been notified but whose names have not yet been authorized for publication.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the number of Israeli soldiers killed since the start of the war on Gaza has risen to 866 following the ambush in Khan Yunis.
Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, commented on the Israeli army's losses. In a statement, he said: 'What the occupation incurred today in losses in Khan Yunis and Jabalia is an extension of a series of qualitative operations, and a model of what the occupation forces will face everywhere they are present.'
He added in a statement on the Telegram platform on Friday: 'The enemy public has no choice but to force their leadership to stop the war of annihilation or prepare to receive more of their sons in coffins.'

Egypt's FM delivers Al-Sisi message to Niger's leader, seeks deeper security ties
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Niger's leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, in Niamey on Wednesday and delivered a written message from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi aimed at strengthening security and economic ties, Egypt's foreign ministry said. In a statement, the ministry said Abdelatty's visit came as part of a push to enhance cooperation, with the minister conveying Sisi's greetings and stressing that the trip was aimed at supporting Niger based on the historical ties between the two nations. Abdelatty highlighted the strategic importance of Niger's stability for Egypt's national security, describing the Sahel region as a 'natural extension of Egypt's strategic neighbourhood.' He said that growing terrorist threats and the spread of armed groups across the continent necessitated enhanced security cooperation and the exchange of expertise between Egypt and Niger. The talks also focused on expanding economic partnerships. The foreign minister noted that he was accompanied by a high-level delegation of 30 Egyptian business leaders to participate in the first Egyptian-Nigerien Business Forum. The forum aims to boost economic, trade, and investment cooperation, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, construction, and mining sectors. The statement said the discussions covered existing cooperation in combating terrorism and extremist ideology. Abdelatty highlighted the role of Cairo-based institutions, including Al-Azhar, which provides training for Nigerian imams and scholarships for students, as well as the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution and the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development (EAPD), which offer capacity-building programmes for Nigerian personnel. For his part, President Tchiani asked Abdelatty to convey his greetings and appreciation to President Sisi, expressing his country's gratitude for Egypt's support in facing its security and development challenges. He also praised Egypt's leading regional and international role and the support provided by Al-Azhar in religious education. The two officials also discussed regional issues, including developments in the Sahel and West Africa and the security challenges posed by the spread of terrorist organisations.
