"The occupation is committing a new massacre against journalists, and the targeting of colleagues Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat, is a crime added to the record of Israeli terrorism."
❗️Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
"Israel is fighting Hamas and will defeat Hamas. Let me be clear - Israel is not fighting the civilians in Gaza and is doing everything that international law requires to mitigate harm to civilians.
But when Hamas fights in civilian dress, from civilian homes, and from behind civilians, it puts civilians in danger and they pay a horrible price. That is why we are urging Gazans to evacuate combat zones.
I reiterate - we will not stop until our hostages are released and Hamas is no longer in control of the Gaza Strip and is no longer a threat to Israel and Israelis."

⭕️ Israeli security sources tell Walla News that military officials recently held urgent discussions about Syria's attempts to rebuild air defenses and missile capabilities under its new leadership.
"A confrontation between Turkiye and Israel in Syria is inevitable," a senior Israeli security official warned. Israel aims to maintain air superiority and prevent any Syrian military upgrades, viewing them as direct threats.
Reports reveal Syria is negotiating with Turkiye to transfer a strategic Palmyra outpost in exchange for economic and military aid. Israel strongly opposes this move, fearing it could give Turkey future access to southern Syria.
Israeli officials would prefer Russia's return under its prior agreement with Assad, believing Moscow could stabilize the region better than Ankara.
Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported Netanyahu recently held security talks on Turkiye's growing role in Syria, with analysts suggesting he may be exaggerating the threat to distract from domestic crises.
