who were initially taken to Assuta Medical Center in Ashdod by Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency services
the two men were subsequently relocated to specialized medical facilities: one to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and the other to the neurosurgery department at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for the treatment of critical stab wounds to his head
the assailant was a resident of Dura near Hebron in southern Judea and Samaria

Cohen also said that police were investigating if the individual was employed at the mall illegally
the 17-year-old was taken for surgery due to multiple stab wounds but his condition is not considered life-threatening
The two adult men were said to have serious head injuries
The attack at the shopping mall was the second stabbing incident on Sunday, following a previous attack in the southern city of Beersheva that injured two
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for increased police presence and more weapons permits for civilians to help neutralize attacks
and certainly the enemy has more motivation to harm us,” Ben Gvir said
Security officials are concerned that Ramadan could see an increase in the number of attacks by so-called “lone wolf” terrorists

18 (Xinhua) -- At least 50 Palestinians were killed last night after Israeli airstrikes on various locations in the coastal enclave
the Hamas-run health ministry said Wednesday
the ministry said that the latest assault happened in the cities of Deir al-Balah
and Khan Younis in the southern parts of the coastal enclave
as well as in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip

The French Foreign Ministry on Sunday advised its citizens who are in Iran to leave it temporarily due to possible military escalation in the region following the deaths of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders
Dozens of people protested on Sunday afternoon in front of the Kirya military headquarters
demanding the immediate release of the eight detained soldiers suspected of abusing a Hamas Nukhba terrorist at the Sde Teiman facility
The IDF confirmed on Sunday afternoon that
following sirens that sounded in central Israel
approximately five launches were identified crossing from the southern Gaza Strip
One of the launches fell in the area of the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council
rocket sirens had sounded in the central Israel localities of Bitzaron
Rockets have been fired off from Gaza less frequency as the IDF has destroyed much of Hamas's terrorist infrastructure and weaponry
It has become especially rare for rockets from the Gaza Strip to be launched at central Israel
An Israel Air Force aircraft eliminated the terrorist Ismail Nofal this week in a strike in the Nuseirat area
Nofal was responsible for rocket launches toward Israeli territory and participated in the massacre on October 7
The IDF added that Nofal was killed with precise munition by an IAF aircraft with IDF and ISA intelligence
The night before, a Hamas operative who conducted terror activities in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip was also struck by an IAF aircraft
According to senior officials familiar with the deal's negotiations, a significant negotiation meeting held in Cairo led to progress in the parameters related to the Philadelphi Corridor and the Rafah crossing
The Egyptian mediator, Intelligence Minister Abbas Kamel, hosted an Israeli delegation led by Mossad head David Barnea
and the coordinator of operations in the territories
All of them are significant factors in advancing the negotiations.
The delegation's departure to Egypt is the result of heavy US pressure on Israel and Egypt in recent days to continue negotiations on the hostage deal and on security issues related to it - even after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
The military court in Beit Lid on Sunday morning will request extending the detention of five IDF soldiers who were arrested last week at the Sde Teiman base on suspicion of abusing a Hamas Nukhba terrorist until Wednesday for further investigation

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi will travel to Iran on Sunday in a rare visit to discuss regional developments with his Iranian counterpart following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran
Regional tensions have spiked following the assassination of Haniyeh on Wednesday
which came a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut which killed Fuad Shukr
a senior military commander from the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah
Hamas and Iran have both accused Israel of carrying out the assassination of Haniyeh and have pledged to retaliate
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the death nor denied it
Safadi's visit to Iran follows continued diplomatic contacts by the United States and its partners including France
and Egypt on Saturday to prevent further regional escalation
Iran and Jordan are seeking to improve their relations following recent tensions related to Amman accusing pro-Iranian militias in Syria of smuggling narcotics into the country and its taking part in the interception of Iran's first ever direct attack on Israel last April
Greece’s National Intelligence Service (EYP) and other counter-terrorism authorities were warned by foreign security services that Iran
may attempt to target Israeli interests in the country
Greek media source Kathimerini reported on Friday
The level of vigilance has only increased since Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran on Wednesday
While Israel has not taken responsibility for the death of the terror leader
Iran’s mission to the United Nations claimed that Hezbollah would target Israeli civilians in coming attacks but only in Israeli territory
Iran-backed terror groups have increasingly targeted Jewish and Israeli sites in the diaspora

When rescue teams finally came upon their bodies
they saw that Aviv Kutz had draped his arms around his wife and kids
The Kutz family was buried together in a tight row of graves
Their names were read out one after another
the coffins lowered slowly by thick rope into the ground
It took a very long time for five graves to be filled with earth
One of the children’s grandfathers chanted the mourner’s Kaddish as hundreds of people shook with grief
They said the only things that people in the depths of grief can manage
“It is inconceivable,” one of them told me as we made our way toward the white tent that hovered over the graves
how do you live?” The mourners spoke of the Kutz family’s kindness
The site of the funeral, the New Cemetery, in the town of Gan Yavne, is no more than a half hour’s drive from the Gaza Strip. In the hours preceding the service, the radio had broadcast alerts about rockets from Gaza. Israeli air strikes on Gaza have been going on for days
Estimates of the number of Palestinians killed since the massacre have climbed above three thousand
It is hardly an exercise in rhetorical “equivalence” to observe that in Gaza
it seems almost obscene to turn to politics
especially in an era when politics are so often an arena of debasement
statecraft is precisely what is needed now to avoid even greater catastrophe—and even greater catastrophe is sure to follow heedless decisions born of rage
President Biden arrives in the Middle East on Wednesday. In addition to speaking to the Israelis, he will also, according to the White House, confer in Amman with leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority. For twenty months, the Biden Administration has managed to consolidate NATO support for Ukraine
an enormously complex feat of high-stakes diplomacy and political skill
there is no possibility of taking matters one thing at a time
After many conversations in recent days with Israelis and Palestinians
after visiting the sites of the October 7th massacre
I find it difficult to convey the over-all sense of dread and rage
the intensity of the demands for vengeance
reminiscent of the atmosphere in the United States in the days after 9/11
and to strike back but to “eradicate,” to “flatten,” to “end them” is
President Biden needs to dampen that clamoring for more blood. His expressions of kinship with Israel have moved many Israelis. They have noted not only the positioning of American military vessels in the eastern Mediterranean as a warning to Hezbollah and Iran but also the signals of caution to the Israeli leadership not to “reoccupy” Gaza
Biden will have to push hard to get Prime Minister Netanyahu
who is now increasingly unpopular and widely faulted for the shocking military and intelligence lapses that enabled the massacre in southern Israel
to act with strategic foresight and restraint
Biden is walking into an emotional maelstrom

But what will come from answering cruelty with accelerating cruelty
One thing is certain: it will intensify the suffering and resentments of ordinary Palestinians
And what will a large-scale ground war do for Israel’s relations with Egypt

Biden will doubtlessly show support to Israeli leaders
But to confer license upon an agenda of vengeance will not end well

The Israeli notion of “shrinking” the conflict
was always an illusion; without some resolution
anything resembling a normal existence for Israelis and Palestinians will ultimately be impossible

Israel (AP) — An Israeli family of five whose bodies were discovered in each other’s arms after being killed by Hamas militants were buried together in a funeral attended by hundreds of mourners
were found dead on a bed embracing each other
The family had moved to Israel from Boston and built the home four years ago at the kibbutz where Aviv had grown up
as it was her home for life,” Levy Salma said
More than 3,400 people have been killed on the Palestinian side
and funerals there have been a fixture of daily life
with men running through streets carrying bodies in white sheets and shouting “Allahu akbar,” the Arabic phrase for “God is great.”
most wearing black tops and some in sunglasses
wiped away tears and held each other as they said goodbye to Tamam before her shroud-wrapped body was buried at a cemetery in Holon
Many families awoke on the day of the attacks to air raid sirens and rockets sailing overhead
Adi Levy Salma said her family rushed to their safe room at their home in Gedera and she texted her sister to see if she was OK
But Livnat Kotz didn’t reply and didn’t answer phone calls
Levy Salma was more concerned when her niece
“Then we started getting reports of terrorists who infiltrated the kibbutz,” Levy Salma said
“It was at that moment we realized something bad had happened

Oct 23 (EFE) – Massacres recorded live
charred bodies by the dozens and the body of a decapitated soldier appear in a compilation of audiovisual material
that the Israeli Armed Forces showed to the media on Monday with the aim of revealing the horror of the massacre perpetrated by Hamas in Israel on Oct
7 and to prove the Islamist group committed “crimes against humanity.”
More than a hundred journalists from foreign media (including EFE) were summoned to a military base north of Tel Aviv to view the 43-minute and 44-second footage
The video was a compilation of images captured by GoPro cameras carried by Hamas members
security footage from the kibbutz where the massacres took place
soldiers and medical personnel with their cell phones
“What you see in the images are crimes against humanity,” Israeli army spokesman Admiral Daniel Hagari warned before the screening
“They show that Hamas terrorists entered Israel for the sole purpose of killing civilians,” he stressed
and one that caused a strong reaction among the reporters in the room
fresh out of bed and still in their underwear
who hear gunfire and explosions and run for cover in the bunker in the courtyard of their home in one of the kibbutzim closest to the Gaza Strip
Two heavily armed Hamas members see them entering the bunker and throw a grenade after them
The father acts as a human shield to protect his children who come out crying and a Hamas man takes them into the house and offers them water and coke from their own refrigerator
while the children cry and scream in shock
why am I alive?” cries the eldest as he tries to comfort his brother
who says he can’t see out of one eye
The shocking sequence combines footage from security cameras inside the house and community cameras in the courtyard outside
the mother can be seen arriving with two kibbutz security guards to find the father’s grenade-torn body at the door of the shelter
her muffled scream of pain fills the screen
and immediately the guards try to calm her
but dozens of clips follow of other raids on homes in the kibbutzim bordering the enclave
or of the massacre at the Reim electronic music festival: people hiding in portable toilets or under cars
Hamas militiamen mercilessly shooting them down to make sure they do not get out alive
Much of the footage was captured by the very cameras carried by the 1,500 or so Hamas members who were killed in the ensuing fighting with Israeli troops, which were vetted by the authorities.
The most gruesome passages have been culled: one video shows them murdering a young woman who is hiding under a table and begging not to be killed, another one shows them crushing a dying man’s head with a hoe while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is great in Arabic).
Another clip shows a Hamas gunman using the phone of one of his victims to call his parents in Gaza. “Look at the pictures I sent to your Whatsapp. I killed ten. I have Jewish blood on my hands. I hope you are proud of me,” he says to his parents, who can be heard, frightened and crying, begging him to come back.
The army spokesman admitted that the decision about whether to show and broadcast these images or not had become a “dilemma,” but clarified that Israel needed to “understand why it is at war.”
“It has nothing to do with the Palestinians or Islam, it’s about not allowing terror to rule,” he said of the Islamist group Hamas, which has ruled Gaza de facto since 2007.
The brutal and bloody Oct. 7 attack sparked a war between Israel and Gaza’s Islamist militias that has claimed more than 1,400 lives in Israel, most of them civilians killed that day in the largest massacre in Israel’s history.
The intense and indiscriminate Israeli retaliatory bombardment of Gaza has caused more than 5,000 deaths, at least 70% of them women, children and the elderly, and more than 15,000 wounded, the greatest human catastrophe suffered in the battered enclave. EFE
