In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted operations in Jabalya and Rafah in the Gaza Strip. They eliminated several terrorists in Jabalya and Rafah, including a terror cell that fired at soldiers. The IDF dismantled 70 terror targets in Gaza, including military compounds, weapon storage sites, missile launchers, and other terrorist infrastructure. Additionally, the IDF launched a counterterror operation in Jenin, resulting in clashes that left at least five individuals dead and ten wounded. In response to recent diplomatic steps aimed at upgrading the Palestinian Authority's status in the United Nations, the Israeli government is considering measures against the Palestinian Authority, such as denying entry permits to senior PA members and freezing funds. This situation is still developing. US President Joe Biden expressed support for Israel's fight against Hamas, emphasizing that the Gaza campaign is not genocide. He pledged to provide Israel with the necessary support to defend itself and highlighted efforts to free hostages held by Hamas. Biden also condemned antisemitism and reiterated the US commitment to combat it. France initiated its first war crime trial of Syrian officials, charging three top security officers in absentia for complicity in crimes against humanity and war crimes. The trial will address the deaths of two French-Syrian men arrested in Damascus in 2013, shedding light on the atrocities committed during the Syrian conflict. Furthermore, Israeli security forces arrested four 14-year-old teenagers in east Jerusalem for planning a terrorist attack using pipe bombs. The teenagers had purchased materials for explosives and conducted unsuccessful experiments. The investigation is ongoing, with the State Attorney's office expected to file an indictment against them. These developments underscore the complex and multifaceted nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict, encompassing military operations, diplomatic tensions, international legal proceedings, and domestic security concerns.
