HEADLINES - Hamas shifts tactics to guerrilla warfare in face of IDF advances - Netanyahu dissolves War Cabinet amid criticism from right-wing allies - Pro-Palestinian activists vandalize Israeli defense firm's UK plant The time is now 05:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In recent developments regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, Hamas has shifted its tactics from a structured terror army to a decentralized guerrilla force as the IDF's ground offensive progresses in Gaza. Facing significant losses, Hamas now relies on guerrilla hit-and-run tactics like ambushes and IEDs, avoiding direct confrontations with the IDF to prolong the conflict and exploit urban warfare dynamics. Meanwhile, Jerusalem refuses to commit to ending the war until Hamas releases all hostages, emphasizing the group's past violations and demanding adherence to the proposed UN Security Council ceasefire agreement. Hamas, on the other hand, seeks a comprehensive deal including a ceasefire, Gaza's reconstruction, and a swap deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has abolished the War Cabinet following Benny Gantz's departure, citing the body's discontinuation due to the National Unity party's exit. The War Cabinet's dissolution sparked criticism from right-wing allies, with Netanyahu emphasizing decisions made for eliminating Hamas's capabilities. Furthermore, a group of pro-Palestinian activists claimed to have broken into and vandalized an Israeli defense firm's UK plant, causing damage and disrupting operations, highlighting ongoing tensions surrounding Israeli entities abroad. This incident reflects broader activism against Israeli interests globally. In a separate context, UN Secretary-General António Guterres faces criticism for perceived inconsistencies in his support for Jews and anti-Zionist stances, raising questions about the UN's stance on Israel. Guterres' remarks and actions have sparked debate over the UN's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for Jewish communities worldwide.
