Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Four arrested on suspicion of throwing Molotov cocktails at civilians near Efrat, in the West Bank
[IsraelTimes] A terror cell responsible for hurling Molotov cocktails at a civilian road near the West Bank settlement of Efrat last month has been apprehended, the IDF and Israel Police announce in a joint statement.

According to the IDF, the four suspects carried out the attack on June 9, targeting a road near Efrat, south of Bethlehem. No injuries were reported.

Acting on intelligence from the Israel Police’s West Bank division, IDF reservists arrested the suspects this week in the Paleostinian village of al-Khader. The men confessed to the attack during interrogation and were transferred for further investigation.

In separate overnight operations, IDF forces arrested four additional wanted individuals in the Hebron-area village of Beit Ula and seized weapons near Bethlehem. Several suspects were also questioned in the area.

Soldier killed in northern Gaza, 3 others seriously hurt; rockets fired at Sderot
[IsraelTimes] Slain soldier named as Sgt. Yaniv Michalovitch, 19; Palestinian media claims head of Gaza City hospital killed in IDF strike alongside wife, 3 kids; 7 allegedly killed near aid site

Strip, the military announced on Wednesday, as it continued its push further into northern Gaza.

The slain soldier was named as Sgt. Yaniv Michalovitch, 19, a tank crew member in the 82nd Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade, from Rehovot.

According to the IDF, Michalovitch was killed in combat in the northern part of the Strip. A tank commander and another soldier from the same battalion were seriously maimed in the same incident.

In a separate battle in northern Gaza, a soldier from the Egoz unit of the Commando Brigade was also seriously maimed.

All of the maimed soldiers were evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and their families have been notified.

Michalovitch’s death brings Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas

in Gaza and in military operations along the border with to 442. The toll includes two coppers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.

Also Wednesday, two rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip, triggering sirens in the city of Sderot and the nearby town of Ibim. Both projectiles were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, with no reports of impacts or injuries.

A few hours later, the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson issued an evacuation warning for residents in several neighborhoods of Gaza City — including Tuffah, Daraj and the Old City — ahead of expected IDF operations in the area.

The statement said the IDF was operating with "very strong force" and would strike "any area used to launch rockets toward Israel."

Residents in the affected areas were urged to evacuate immediately southward to the humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi and to refrain from returning to the designated combat zones.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the enormous newt was trying to decide if Gloria was edible...
the IDF and Shin Bet announced that they had killed two Hamas operatives responsible for the deaths of seven Israeli soldiers in a bushwhack in Khan Younis on June 24.

According to a joint statement, an Israeli Air Force drone, directed by the Shin Bet and the IDF’s 188th Armored Brigade, struck and killed Mosaab Yasser Abdallah Galban and Abd al-Latif Mousa Hagag Barbakh in the Khan Younis area on Thursday last week.

The two were involved in the ambush that killed seven IDF soldiers: Lt. Matan Shai Yashinovski, 21; Staff Sgt. Ronel Ben-Moshe, 20; Staff Sgt. Niv Radia, 20; Sgt. Ronen Shapiro, 19; Sgt. Shahar Manoav, 21; Sgt. Maayan Baruch Pearlstein, 20; and Staff Sgt. Alon Davidov, 21.

Earlier in the day, while visiting IDF troops in Rafah, Defense Minister Israel Katz told soldiers that Israel won’t "give up or compromise" on defeating Hamas or recovering the remaining hostages held in Gaza.

Katz was accompanied by Southern Command head Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor, Gaza Division commander Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram, Tourism Minister Haim Katz, and senior officers from reserve brigades operating in the Strip.

"The maneuver is aimed at achieving two goals — returning the hostages and ensuring Hamas no longer exists here. We will not let go of this objective," Israel Katz told troops.

"To kill the enemy, bring the hostages home and win — that is our mission. There’s no chance we’ll give it up or compromise on it," he said. "Hamas has not changed. It wants to continue what it did and to destroy [Israel]."

Katz also accused Hamas of working with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

, Jordan and other fronts.

Along with Katz’s visit, the IDF announced a partial reduction of the closed military zone in Israel along the Gaza border in line with a new situational assessment, allowing additional civilian areas in the Western Negev to reopen for the first time since October 7, 2023.

The affected areas had been closed to civilian movement since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, which triggered the ongoing war and led to the imposition of broad security restrictions in the border area.

The updated order, signed by the head of the Southern Command Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor, limits the closed military zone to areas outlined in a revised map, which includes key roads and areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

Entry into these zones remains restricted. Only permanent residents, authorized agricultural workers and individuals conducting essential work — coordinated through the IDF Gaza Division and Home Front Command — will be granted entry. Violators of the order may face legal action.

The order remains in effect until August 31, unless modified earlier.

SEVEN SAID KILLED NEAR AID SITE, DOCTOR KILLED IN GAZA CITY
On Wednesday morning, Paleostinian media reported that seven people were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor overnight, adding to the growing toll of those said to have been killed at or near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid sites.

After the reports, the IDF said it is looking into the incident and has launched an investigation, adding that it has no information at this stage confirming any casualties but is reviewing the details.

There have been repeated instances of Paleostinians being shot near aid distribution sites, with Hamas’s health ministry claiming the corpse count is over 500. The IDF has said it is investigating, and denied that troops are ordered to open fire on civilians.

On Monday, after weeks of reported incidents, the IDF released a statement acknowledging that Paleostinian civilians have been killed and injured by its fire near aid distribution sites, including by artillery fire, but claimed that the tolls provided by Hamas authorities are exaggerated.

The military also announced that it "reorganized the access routes" to the humanitarian hubs, adding new fencing and signage along with additional paths to the aid sites, and that they have revised their methods of crowd control at the sites after "learning lessons" from their probes of the incidents.

Later Wednesday, media outlets in Gaza reported that Marwan Sultan, the director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, was killed in an Israeli strike.

According to the reports, he was killed along with his wife and other relatives when his home in Gaza City was hit.

In the past, the IDF has said that Hamas used the Indonesian Hospital as a base for its terror activities and had fired at Israeli forces from the site. The hospital was cleared by the IDF several weeks ago and is no longer operational.

The IDF has not yet responded to the reports.

Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said seven people were killed in the strike early Wednesday afternoon, including Sultan, his wife and at least three of his children. The doctor’s body was taken to the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, where mourners gathered around it, AFP journalists reported.

"His face was unrecognizable, we could barely identify him," the director of that facility, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, told AFP.

"His whole life was devoted to medicine and the struggle to treat patients," the doctor’s surviving daughter Lubna Sultan told AFP. "There is no justification for targeting him and his martyrdom."

The Medical Emergency Rescue Committee, the group that runs the hospital, called the killing of the doctor and his family "a flagrant violation of humanitarian principles and a grave act of injustice," saying those responsible "must be held accountable."

Responding to Trump, Hamas says Gaza deal must ‘clearly lead to complete end’ of war, while fighting continues
[IsraelTimes] PM stresses that goals of eliminating Hamas and freeing hostages ‘work together’; 14 said killed in strikes in Gaza; Hamas gives boss of clan armed by Israel 10 days to surrender

Hamas

suggested Wednesday it was open to a ceasefire agreement with Israel but stopped short of accepting an American-backed proposal announced by US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
hours earlier, insisting on its longstanding position that any deal bring an end to the war in Gazoo

Trump said Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. The US leader has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war, sparked by the terror group’s onslaught on October 7, 2023.

Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work toward ending the war — something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. The US president additionally said a deal might come together as soon as next week.

But Hamas’s response, which emphasized its demand that the war end, raised questions about whether the latest offer could materialize into an actual pause in fighting.

Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said the terror group was "ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement." He said Hamas was "ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war."

Later Wednesday, Hamas confirmed that it was discussing the latest proposal it received from mediators and was holding talks with them to "bridge gaps" on returning to the negotiating table to try to reach a ceasefire agreement.

A Hamas delegation is expected to meet with Egyptian and Qatar

i mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the talks with the media.

There was no immediate comment from Israeli officials on Trump’s post, which appeared to be referring to a proposal for a temporary ceasefire that has been discussed over the past several months.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Wednesday evening that Israel’s aims of both defeating Hamas and freeing the hostages are still both attainable: "I am telling you, there will be no Hamas," he said during a visit to the Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company headquarters in Ashkelon. "There will be no Hamastan. We are not going back to that. It is over. We will release all our hostages."

Any suggestions that those two goals are in opposition are "nonsense," he added, saying that "it works together. We will complete this together, contrary to what they say. We will eliminate them to the end."

Throughout the nearly 21-month-long war, ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have repeatedly faltered over whether the war should end as part of any deal.

Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining 50 hostages, less than half of whom are said to be alive, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war.

Israel says it will only agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and exiles itself, something the terror group refuses to do.

Trump views the current moment, after the war between Israel and Iran, as a potential turning point in the brutal conflict that began when Hamas-led Death Eaters attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.

Hostage-ceasefire talks are being mediated by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, whose latest proposal, the authenticity of which was confirmed to The Times of Israel by two sources familiar with the negotiations, would see Hamas release 10 living Israeli hostages held in Gaza and return the bodies of 18 deceased hostages during a 60-day ceasefire. The rest of the hostages would be released if a permanent ceasefire is reached.

Israel has yet to publicly comment on Trump’s announcement. On Monday, Trump is set to host Netanyahu for talks at the White House, days after Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a key Netanyahu adviser, held discussions with top US officials about Gaza, Iran

and other matters.

14 KILLED IN GAZA STRIKES
Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, a new, even louder, voice was to be heard...
fighting continued in Gaza on Wednesday, with the Hamas-tied civil defense agency saying that 14 people were killed in strikes across the Strip.

Civil defense front man Mahmoud Bassal, who Israel has said is an active Hamas terrorist, said that five members of the same family were killed and several others maimed in an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
that hit a tent housing displaced people in the coastal al-Mawasi area.

He additionally said that four people from the same family were killed in a predawn Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City, and another five in a dronezap on a house in the central Deir el-Balah area.

There was no comment from the IDF on the strikes.

The conflict has left the coastal Paleostinian territory in ruins, with much of the urban landscape flattened in the fighting. More than 90% of Gaza’s 2.3 million population has been displaced, often multiple times. And the war has sparked a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, pushing hundreds of thousands of people toward hunger.

10 DAYS TO SURRENDER
On Wednesday, the Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza said the leader of a clan supported and armed by Israel and securing title='humanitarian aid'>humanitarian aid in the Rafah area must turn himself in to the "relevant authorities" — i.e., Hamas — for prosecution within 10 days.

In a statement from the ministry, Yasser Abu Shabaab, an armed gang leader opposed to Hamas, was accused of treason, forming an illegal armed gang, and leading an armed rebellion.

The Abu Shabaab clan operates in western Rafah, an area under Israeli security control. According to footage published by the clan, it has been securing humanitarian aid entering the area and has even established residential compounds. Israel recently acknowledged that it had transferred weapons to local actors as part of its effort to weaken Hamas, after reports that it had armed Abu Shabaab.

The statement does not specify what measures would be taken if Abu Shabaab failed to surrender to Hamas. Gazook media outlets have reported in recent weeks that Hamas has attempted unsuccessfully to assassinate Abu Shabaab, whose gang is thought to have previously been involved in drug running and aid looting.

The ministry also called on the Gazook public to come forward with any information regarding his whereabouts.

Hamas rules Gaza with an iron fist, and while it allows the presence of smaller groups and various local clan power structures, it has allowed little space for political dissent or support for Israel, executing Gazooks who have protested the terror group’s control of the Strip and many others it accuses of collaboration.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IDF says troops arrested Iranian terror cell in southern Syria
[IsraelTimes] Israeli troops arrested several members of a terror cell deployed by Iran

in southern Syria in an overnight raid, the military says.

The cell was operating in two locations near the border with Israel and was targeted based on intelligence gathered over recent weeks, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

During the raid, troops from the 474th Golan Regional Brigade, who carried out the raid together with field Sherlocks from Military Intelligence’s Unit 504, also seized weapons, including firearms and grenades.

The IDF says it will continue efforts to thwart the entrenchment of Iranian-linked terror groups in Syria, particularly near the Israeli border.

Israeli troops have been stationed in Syria since the fall of the former Assad regime in December, where they are holding a small buffer zone near the border.

Iran arrests 50 in Sistan-Balochistan over alleged links to Israel and Terrorist Groups
[KhaamaPress] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

arrested 50 people in Sistan-Baluchestan over alleged links to Israel and terrorist groups, seizing weapons and intensifying security operations.

Iranian authorities have arrested 50 people in the restive province of Sistan and Baluchestan, accusing them of links to Israeli intelligence and terrorist groups, according to a report by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) on Tuesday, July 1. Officials allege the group was plotting sabotage operations targeting economic and infrastructure assets in southern Iran.

The arrests, part of a broader national security operation, reportedly led to the deaths of two individuals during festivities with Iranian security forces. Authorities claim the group had amassed a large cache of weapons, including U.S.-made arms, raising concerns about foreign involvement in domestic unrest.

The identities and affiliations of the detainees have not been disclosed in detail, and it remains unclear how many are specifically charged with collaborating with Israel. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
the Iranian parliament and state media have repeatedly accused foreign intelligence services—particularly Israel’s Mossad
...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end...
—of backing destabilizing activities in minority-populated regions.

Human rights organizations have expressed alarm over the pattern of arrests and executions under vague security-related charges. According to a new report by Hengaw, an independent human rights

monitor, at least 26 people were executed in the first half of 2025 for political, religious, or protest-related activities, including alleged espionage for Israel. The report also noted that 29 prisoners died in jug under suspicious conditions during the same period.

The Iranian government says it is continuing operations to arrest additional suspects allegedly involved in the recent plot. Critics, however, argue that such crackdowns often target marginalized ethnic groups, particularly the Baloch and Kurdish minorities, under the pretext of combating terrorism.

The wave of arrests highlights Iran’s intensifying use of national security narratives to control dissent, especially in provinces marked by economic deprivation and ethnic tensions. International watchdogs, including Amnesty International and the UN Human Rights Council, have consistently urged Tehran to ensure fair trials and transparency in cases involving alleged espionage or terrorism.

As Iran’s geopolitical tensions with Israel and Western nations continue to rise, analysts warn that internal repression could deepen. The international community is being called upon to closely monitor Iran’s treatment of detainees and press for accountability in its justice system.
