IDF says Hamas, Hezbollah coordinating with Iran to rebuild terror axis amid increased friction on Gaza, Lebanon fronts • White House pressure limits Israeli strikes in Gaza City, targeted killings

According to the sailors, Hamas is attempting to rebuild its naval capabilities from the ruins, developing low-tech methods using basic rowboats and paddles.

An official clarified that, from Washington's perspective, a permanent Israeli military presence in southern Lebanon is inconsistent with the commitments made under the understandings.

Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF began lifting the siege imposed by a group of settlers on two homes in the Palestinian village of Kusra, which is located in Area B of the West Bank.

An investigation conducted in the field described the incident as "not good," as concerns were raised over Hamas potentially testing the alertness of IDF troops.

Israeli defense officials believe that, despite the slim chances, the White House is seeking to signal to Israel that a similar model could be applied in Iran, subject to an agreement with Tehran.

Defense officials confirmed on Sunday that opportunities to strike Hamas military wing operatives had been missed over the past week because of government policy.

Since the ceasefire was declared, the clans have helped secure the Yellow Line and the area west of it, while also assisting in locating weapons and terrorist infrastructure above and below ground. 

Shortly after criticism emerged from within the defense establishment over the pragmatism the government showed toward Trump's peace plan, a decision was made to completely halt targeted killings.

It was the most complex, dangerous, and historic day since the establishment of the Israeli Air Force's air traffic control. Hundreds of aircraft of every possible type were returning simultaneously.
