Hamas Chief Killed Turning Point in Gaza
Arab Ministers Condemn Ben Gvir Gaza Taunt
US Led Ceasefire Reveals Hamas Compromises

The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Walla received an exclusive look into the military intelligence behind the operation that killed Hamas military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad. The profile describes al-Haddad as an extremely cautious figure, bordering on paranoid, who did not sleep in the same place twice and who made front-line decisions about micro-tactics in the organization’s operations against Israel. He was killed last Friday at 7:45 p.m. when he stepped into an above-ground Gaza City apartment to meet his family, certain the reach of Israeli intelligence would not extend there, but he was mistaken. The report notes that the targeted killing marks a dramatic turning point in the Gaza Strip even before the ceasefire arrangement led by the United States, reflecting compromises to which Hamas’s leadership agreed, as noted by the IDF Intelligence Directorate.

In the Israeli Domestic Politics, eight Arab and Muslim foreign ministers condemned far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over a video in which he taunted detainees kneeling with their hands bound during the Gaza-bound flotilla. The ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan called the action a disgraceful assault on human dignity and a violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law. France and Poland had previously banned Ben Gvir over the incident. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the behavior was not in line with Israel’s values and norms, and other Israeli politicians also criticized the incident.
