VIDEO: HAMAS Blows Up IDF Forces Near Gaza School | Is Hamas Trying to SABOTAGE US Deal With Israel?

In a dramatic escalation, Hamas released footage of a deadly ambush targeting Israrel forces near Al-Aqsa School in al-Qarara, Gaza. The attack comes amid rising hopes around a U.S.-backed ceasefire plan proposing a 60-day truce, the release of 28 Israeli hostages (alive and dead), and the exchange of over 1,200 Palestinian prisoners. As the world eyes a potential breakthrough, analysts question if Hamas is trying to sabotage the deal to prolong conflict. The attack underscores how fragile the ceasefire framework remains—despite mounting diplomatic pressure. #GazaConflict #Hamas #Ceasefire #MiddleEastCrisis #Israel #Palestine #AlQarara #GazaStrip #AlAqsaSchool #DavidStones #GazaAmbush #USCeasefirePlan #KhanYounis #HostageExchange #PrisonerSwap #ConflictNews #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #GazaUpdate #MilitaryFootage #TerrorOrResistance #CeasefireRisk #HamasAttack #IsraelHamas #GazaTensions #PeaceOrWar #Reuters #USMediation #Hostages #MideastConflict Also Read Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Public outrage is erupting in Israel over what protesters call “600 days of failure” by Prime Minister Netanyahu to bring back hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023. Over 3,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv, storming Likud HQ and demanding resignations. Clashes with police led to dozens of arrests. Demonstrators blasted the government’s hostage negotiation strategy, projecting a Qatari flag on Likud HQ to protest Hamas ties.

'Don’t Fold Now, Hamas Is….' Israel Ministers OPPOSE New US Hamas Ceasefire Deal, WARNS Netanyahu [Video]

'Don’t Fold Now, Hamas Is….' Israel Ministers OPPOSE New US Hamas Ceasefire Deal, WARNS Netanyahu

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlements Minister Orit Strock have strongly rejected the US-backed phased ceasefire deal with Hamas. Smotrich warned against giving Hamas a “lifeline” as the group faces mounting pressure, asserting that Israel must not withdraw from recaptured areas like the Morag Corridor. Strock echoed the sentiment, urging PM Netanyahu not to “fold” when Hamas is “on its knees.” Their remarks signal growing dissent within the Israeli cabinet as international pressure to end the war mounts amid fierce battlefield realities. #Israel #Hamas #Ceasefire #Gaza #BezalelSmotrich #USCeasefireDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #MoragCorridor #IsraelDefenseForces #HostageDeal #IsraelPolitics #Netanyahu #GazaWar #OritStrock #Terrorism #HamasCeasefire #MiddleEastNews #GazaStrip #IsraelSecurity #IsraelNews Also Read Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc

Reduced to ASHES in Seconds! The Moment Mohammed Sinwar was blown apart in IDF Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the death of Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar in a targeted IDF operation. The strike, carried out on May 13 beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, marked a major blow to Hamas leadership. Sinwar, brother of slain leader Yahya Sinwar, had succeeded him after his death. His elimination leaves only one known pre-war Hamas brigade leader alive, signaling a possible turning point in Israel's effort to dismantle the militant group’s command structure. #Israel #Netanyahu #MohammedSinwar #Hamas #IDF #KhanYounis #GazaStrike #HamasLeadership #YahyaSinwar #TunnelWarfare #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #GazaWar #IsraelDefenseForces #GazaUpdate #IDFOperations #CounterTerrorism #MilitaryStrike #SinwarKilled #GazaTunnel #GazaHospitalStrike #HamasChiefDead #IsraelHamasConflict #WarOnTerror #SecurityUpdate #SinwarBrothers #ConflictNews Also Read Israel Recovers Thousands of Items from Eli Cohen's Syrian Archive After 60 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-recovers-syrian-archive-eli-cohen-spy-011-4157213.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu: Response To Iran-Backed Houthi Attack Will Come With ‘Many Bangs’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-response-to-iran-backed-houthi-attack-will-come-with-many-bangs-4143405.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Nuclear Crisis in Making: Israel Bombs Iran’s Main Enrichment Site, Leak Rumors Explode-IAEA Explain

Tensions between Israel and Iran have reached a critical point after the Israeli military confirmed a precision strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility—the heart of Tehran’s uranium enrichment program. Shortly after the attack, rumors of a radiation leak at the site flooded social media, sparking panic and speculation across the region. While Iranian authorities remained silent, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has now stepped in, denying any detected radiation leak but warning of "grave consequences" if strikes near nuclear sites continue. #IsraelIran #Natanz #NuclearLeak #IAEA #Radiation #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelStrike #IranNuclear #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UraniumEnrichment #WorldNews #NuclearCrisis #IAEAReport Also Read Israel Military Issues Apology After Posting Map Incorrectly Showing Kashmir In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-military-issues-apology-after-posting-map-incorrectly-showing-kashmir-in-pakistan-4181253.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Gave Iran 60 days, Today Is 61’: Trump Urges Iran To Make Deal 'Before It's Too Late' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/gave-iran-60-days-today-is-61-us-president-trump-urges-iran-to-make-deal-before-its-too-late-4181215.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Strikes Iran's Nuclear Sites, Kills Top Generals; Iran Retaliates With Missile Barrages :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-strikes-irans-nuclear-sites-kills-top-generals-iran-retaliates-with-missile-barrages-4181203.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~
