In the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict, the IDF has revealed significant events concerning the fallen soldier, hostages' treatment, and intelligence system failures.

The rescued hostages exhibited signs of severe malnutrition and abuse, shedding light on the inhumane treatment they faced. Additionally, a former senior army intelligence official disclosed that the IDF's intelligence system malfunctioned hours before the Hamas attack on October 7th.

The demonstration highlighted the ongoing tensions and diverging views surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. Furthermore, in response to the conflict, the IDF announced a daily "tactical-humanitarian pause" in Rafah-area fighting to facilitate aid delivery to Palestinians.
