Israel war on Gaza updates: No deal means captives in ‘coffins’, says Hamas. Hamas’s armed wing says Premier Netanyahu’s reliance on army raids – instead of a truce deal – means more Israeli captives will “be returned to their families in coffins”.

Hamas’ brutal new tactics signal new phase in war and hostage crisis. 

As the terrorists announcement that militants guarding Israeli hostages in the buildings and tunnels of Gaza had “new instructions” to kill them. As Israeli troops closed in, Hamas signaled opening of a chilling new chapter in already brutal war.

Seizing on a spasm of public outrage in Israel at PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s inability to bring home remaining hostages, Hamas released a comic book-style image of a kneeling figure threatened with a gun, followed by a video of Eden Yerushalmi, 24, a bartender at Nova music festival & one of six hostages who Israel says were shot at close range in Hamas captivity last week b4 Israeli forces could reach them.

In a cruel twist of timing – the funerals of the slain hostages had taken place on Sunday and Monday – Hamas said it would drip-feed footage of what it described as the “final messages” of the remaining five. It released a second video on Tuesday, featuring Ori Danino, a 25-year-old who was abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7. Danino had helped other festival-goers escape the horror. It was not clear when footage was filmed – nor whether it was intended that the videos would be used in this way.

Two soldiers were killed and several were wounded after an Israeli Air Force helicopter crashed in the southern Gaza Strip last night, in what the military describes as an accident.

According to an initial IAF probe, a UH-60 Black Hawk from the 123rd Squadron had flown to Rafah with a Unit 669 medical team to evacuate a seriously wounded combat engineer during fighting in the area.

During the final landing stage inside an IDF encampment in Rafah at around 12:30 a.m., the helicopter impacted the ground instead of touching down correctly. According to the probe, the helicopter was not hit by enemy fire, and the crash occurred moments before the aircraft was supposed to land, meaning it did not fall from a significant height.

Iran sends ‘rescue teams, eye surgeons’ to Lebanon after Hezbollah pager blasts today,
The Iranian Red Crescent says it has dispatched “rescue teams and eye surgeons” to Lebanon to treat the wounded after yesterday’s detonation of pagers used by Hezbollah. At least nine people were killed and thousands were injured when pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded yesterday in a coordinated attack widely attributed to Israel.

Among the injured was Iran’s envoy to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, with Iranian media reporting he suffered injuries “to the hand and the face.” The New York Times reported he had lost one eye and his second was severely injured. According to the outlet, the pagers beeped for a number of seconds before exploding, meaning that users raised them toward their faces to read the message before the blasts.

Walkie-talkies explode in Lebanon day after deadly pager attack

• Twin attacks: Walkie-talkies detonated in Lebanon, killing at least 20 people and wounding 450 in a fresh attack targeting Hezbollah, a day after pager blasts killed at least 12 people, including children, and injured thousands across the country.
  
• New era of war: Israel, which refused to comment on the explosions, was behind the attacks, CNN has learned. Israel’s defense minister said a “new era” of war was beginning and “the center of gravity is moving north,” referencing the Lebanon border.
  
• Why now? Israel launched the pager attacks after it believed the plan had been discovered by Hezbollah, according to an Israeli security source.
  
• US was notified: Israel told the US of its plans for an operation in Lebanon but did not provide the details, according to three sources.

"With unity & cohesion among Islamic countrier, we can put in its place the bloodthirsty, genocidal usurper Israel, which shows no mercy to anyone, women or children, old or young.” comments come as Israel has stepped up its fight against Iran’s main proxy, the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.I ran stands accused by Western governments of supplying both drones and missiles to Russia for use in its war with Ukraine, a charge it has repeatedly denied. The solid-fuel Jihad missile was designed and manufactured by the aerospace arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and has an operational range of 1,000 kilometers (more than 600 miles), state news agency IRNA said. The Shahed-136B drone is an upgraded version of the Shahed-136, with new features and an operational range of more than 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles), it adds.

Ukraine Pushing Slowly West In Russia Towards Key Kursk City. Town of Glushkovo is last bastion for an estimated 3,000 Russian troops trapped south of the Seim River in Kursk. Though rapid momentum of early days of its Kursk invasion has slowed considerably after 25 days, Ukraine is still on offensive in several areas there. One of the big efforts is a push toward city of Glushkovo.

Ukrainian forces are less than seven miles from that city, latest map from DeepState, a Ukrainian open-source intelligence organization that has proven reliable in the past. Glushkovo is the last main bastion of defense for an estimated 3,000 troops trapped south of the Seim River, which runs through Glushkovo.“ The situation in the Glushkovo district remains difficult,” the Kremlin-connected Rybar Telegram channel stated Saturday.

“Ukrainian continue to strike at the defensive lines & supply routes of the Russian Armed Forces, & are also preparing for a possible offensive in the area.”

Ukraine can either attack the city directly or try to cut it off and bypass it from the south. As part of that effort, Ukraine has continued its whack-a-mole approach toward the pontoon bridges Russia is building to temporarily replace the spans destroyed by Ukraine, video shows a strike by an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket, or HIMARS on one such crossing.

Ukrainian Air Force released showing crews loading Joint Direct Attack Munition-Extended Range precision-guided bombs, or JDAM-ERs onto a MiG-29 Fulcrum, amunitions blow up portions of bridges over Seim River. JDAM-ER & Frenchguided bombs, both range of dozens of miles, have been key to severing Russia’s river crossings.
