A sharp rift has emerged between the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over war objectives in Gaza. The IDF declared the rescue of 59 remaining hostages held by Hamas as its "supreme mission," placing it above the defeat of the terror group. This directly contradicts Netanyahu’s recent statement that military victory over Hamas is the top priority. The contrast reflects growing tension over strategy, as public pressure mounts to prioritize hostage recovery. Both sides claim to pursue both goals, but their order of priority exposes a fundamental disagreement.

In a chilling video released by Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, a high-level ambush unfolds in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah, Gaza. Israeli soldiers operating in the area are seen walking straight into a deadly trap as resistance fighters detonate explosive devices under military vehicles and open fire in close-quarters combat. The operation, involving multiple explosive devices including Shawaz charges, results in the destruction of several IDF vehicles, including Hummers and a military truck, with confirmed casualties. Hamas claims their fighters moved in for a direct confrontation after the blast, killing and injuring more soldiers in brutal urban warfare. This ambush is part of a string of high-impact attacks being carried out by Palestinian resistance forces against the Israeli military in southern Gaza.
