The IDF killed a Hamas terrorist involved in the abduction of Shani Louk’s body on Oct. 7, 2023, the military announced Tuesday evening.

In a joint statement, the IDF and Shin Bet called the operation “an important closing of the circle,” while pledging to continue pursuing terrorists responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.

According to the IDF announcement, Tamer Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Zabaq, a terror operative in Hamas’ military wing, was killed in recent days due to his work to rehabilitate Hamas’ offensive capabilities and his continued attempts to target IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

With the elimination of al-Zabaq, the IDF has captured or killed all known participants in Louk’s murder and abduction to Gaza.

Iran will not remove any of its highly enriched uranium, one of the Islamic Republic’s top security officials said Tuesday.

“Not a single particle of enriched nuclear material will leave Iran; these materials constitute a major asset and national wealth for the Iranian people, intended for use within the country,” Rezaei was quoted as saying by state media outlet IRNA (Islamic Republic News Agency).

Rezaei also told Munir that no negotiations with the Americans will take place until the United States takes steps to build trust, a process he said must begin with the acceptance of Iran’s conditions.

Soldiers and officers of the Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday began voting at over 850 military polling stations across Israel, as well as in areas held by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria, while parties ramp up their campaigns just days before the Oct. 27 general election.

The IDF’s voting period lasts a full week to allow all soldiers, including those currently on air, land, and sea operations, to cast their votes.

According to a Walla News poll published on Tuesday, 45% of respondents said they were already “completely certain” whom they would vote for, while another 49% said they were fairly certain.

Like most polls over the past months, the Walla poll continued to project a stalemate between the two major blocs, with neither securing enough votes to establish a government.

“Hungary has been a friend and an ally on this long and difficult path,” Herzog said. He also hailed Hungary’s “clear and unequivocal policy of zero tolerance for antisemitism."

During the Oct. 7 Gaza War, Hamas planned to detonate explosives near camps for displaced Palestinians as IDF forces approached, allowing operatives hiding in the camps to escape, the IDF revealed on Monday.

The document, as translated by the IDF, called for “placing roadside explosives around displaced persons camps and detonating them directly against enemy vehicles to disrupt the enemy’s attack plans.”

“This was part of Hamas’ preparations to protect its leadership and operatives, while endangering and exploiting the civilian population in the area, fully aware that these actions were likely to cause direct harm to civilians,” the IDF said in an official statement.

The Syrian government fears that Druze militias will launch an offensive against its troops with the encouragement and support of the Israeli government.

According to the official, indications that led the Syrian government to fear an imminent offensive include preparations and a buildup among militias along the front lines, as well as increased Israeli military activity.

Israel continues to maintain a security zone on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights frontier, and has reportedly sent humanitarian as well as military aid to Druze militias, particularly those controlled by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri.

Alice Jill Edwards, who served as the UN special rapporteur on torture from August 2022 to July 2026, sharply criticized the organization’s handling of the Gaza war in a Monday column for the UK’s Daily Telegraph, accusing it of focusing almost exclusively on Palestinian suffering while overlooking evidence of torture and abuse committed by Hamas against Israeli hostages.

Edwards argued that the UN’s failure to adequately address hostage-taking and other abuses undermined its commitment to neutrality and impartiality. She described a visit to Kibbutz Kfar Aza about 14 months after the Oct. 7 massacre, where she met Mandy Damari and Simona Steinbrecher, the mothers of hostages Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher.

“I feel strongly that during the Gaza-Israel war, the UN has been doing itself no favors by obsessively focusing on only one set of abuses – especially as neutrality, independence and impartiality are the cornerstones of a trustworthy UN," she continued.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed sharply criticized the U.S.-Israel relationship during an interview with ABC News on Monday, declaring, “An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn’t be fighting is not an ally.”

“I think it’s time for us to realize that Israel is actually not our friend,” he concluded.

Earlier this month, on the third anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks that began the Swords of Iron War, Brooks announced a $2 million get-out-the-vote campaign targeting Michigan’s Jewish community.

The political implications of El-Sayed’s stance were also discussed Monday by New York Times national reporter Jeremy Peters, who told MS NOW that some traditionally Democratic Jewish voters in the Detroit suburbs are considering voting Republican.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו pledged to advance partial reconstruction in the Gaza Strip in exchange for “complete and total endorsement” by U.S. President Donald Trump, Channel 13 reports.

The report, which cited “senior Israeli officials,” claimed that Netanyahu stated in closed-door discussions that Israel would approve reconstruction in a specific area of Gaza, near the buffer zone, in an area under IDF control.

Netanyahu said his government had approved an “Emirati enclave,” a designated area in Gaza where the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would help establish temporary housing and infrastructure for displaced Palestinians, in territory currently controlled by the IDF.

“We will not allow reconstruction in any part of Gaza before Hamas is disarmed,” Netanyahu said. “We agreed to an Emirati enclave adjacent to our security zone.”
