Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced the defeat of Hamas's Rafah Brigade by the IDF's 162nd Division, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing conflict. The IDF has destroyed over 150 terror tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border, with instructions to eliminate the remaining tunnels used for smuggling weapons. Concurrently, Israel's military operations have escalated against Hezbollah, with recent airstrikes targeting weapons storage facilities in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, resulting in casualties. The IDF also expanded its operations to Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, where they dismantled terrorist compounds and discovered significant caches of weapons and explosives. Tensions remain high as hostilities with Hezbollah continue, raising concerns of a broader Middle East conflict.
