Watch: IDF destroys Hamas training compound in Rafah

In a brief phone conversation, the Prime Minister congratulated the President on America's Independence Day and discussed the hostage negotiations.

38-year-old Major Galea served as Deputy Company Commander in the 8679th Unit.

Former Defense Minister and current Israel Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman said that "the main effort needs to be directed at defeating Iran."

Targets included the Qanatra, Rab al-Thalathine, Deir Seryan, and Tallouseh areas.

The decision comes following a reportedly softened Hamas proposal which did not insist on a full IDF withdrawal during Stage 1 of the Biden proposal.

Elmaleh, 26, was murdered last February when cars got stuck in traffic outside a checkpoint near Jerusalem. 

The continued pressure of both the IDF and foreign countries is starting to get to Sinwar. 

Hezbollah has suffered serious casualties and most of its forces are north of the Litani River - but it still remains active and dangerous.

Increased funding and new training programs for Israel's Security Coordinators have been approved.

The IDF also confirmed Hezbollah's official statement regarding the number of rockets and drones launched at the north.

Lt.-Col. (res.) Yaron Chanan provides a glimpse into what the first day of war with Hezbollah will look like, and it isn't pretty.

The IDF Spokesperson said that the Air Force is currently striking launch sites throughout southern Lebanon in response to a massive Hezbollah barrage.
