HAMAS Spokesperson Abu Obeida WARNS Netanyahu of More IDF Deaths | ‘This Is Just the Beginning’

Hamas Warns 'More Captures Coming' After Killing 5 Israeli Soldiers In Gaza | Netanyahu Shaken In a meticulously planned operation, Hamas forces have dealt a devastating blow to the IDF, raising critical questions about Israel's strategy in the ongoing war. This report details the attack and its significant fallout. In a major escalation in the Israel-Gaza war, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has claimed responsibility for a deadly ambush in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza. The operation involved a planned IED blast that targeted Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), resulting in the deaths of five soldiers and injuring fourteen others. This incident represents a significant tactical victory for Hamas and a blow to Israel's military prestige. The fallen soldiers included four from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion and one from the Northern Gaza Brigade, with the IDF officially naming Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech among the deceased. Following the attack, Al-Qassam's spokesperson, Abu Obeida, released a defiant statement, warning of more Israeli losses to come. He declared the Beit Hanoun operation a "heavy blow" to Israel's ground capabilities and promised further captures of Israeli soldiers in future engagements. Obeida asserted that the resistance in Gaza remains strong and framed the ongoing conflict as a "war of attrition" that will continue to cost Israel both soldiers and international standing, calling the situation "Netanyahu's biggest mistake." This attack occurred under complex circumstances. According to an i24 News report, the ambush was triggered when an IDF medical unit entered the area to evacuate soldiers wounded in a prior engagement. The incident's timing is also critical, as it coincides with indirect ceasefire talks being held in Qatar between Israeli and Hamas representatives. The event underscores the persistent challenge Israel faces in containing Hamas, even two years into the conflict, and adds immense pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. A report from RT News even claimed Netanyahu was furious upon hearing the news just before a dinner meeting with Donald Trump, highlighting the intense political pressure he is under. #IsraelHamasWar #Hamas #Gaza #IDF #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Netanyahu #Palestine #OneindiaNews #BeitHanoun Also Read Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

ISRAEL HIT HARD: Hamas KILLS 5 IDF Soldiers In IED Explosive Attack | Undefeated HAMAS Rises Again [Video]

ISRAEL HIT HARD: Hamas KILLS 5 IDF Soldiers In IED Explosive Attack | Undefeated HAMAS Rises Again

In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity. According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting. Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade. The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss. All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment. This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar. The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough. Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump. This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities. #IsraelHamasWar #Gaza #Israel #BreakingNews #Hamas #Netanyahu #IDF #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #LatestNews

‘We’re Losing The War’ Ex-Shin Bet Chief  ADMITS Defeat In Gaza | ‘Only Two-State Plan Can Stop…’ [Video]

‘We’re Losing The War’ Ex-Shin Bet Chief ADMITS Defeat In Gaza | ‘Only Two-State Plan Can Stop…’

In a dramatic admission, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has warned that despite military gains in Gaza, Israel is ultimately losing the war. In a public statement, Ayalon said, "No matter how many battles we win, we will lose if there's no political solution." He stressed that without a vision for peace, particularly a two-state solution, Israel risks destroying its own identity as both a Jewish and democratic state. Calling a Palestinian state "Hamas’s worst nightmare," Ayalon urged Israeli leadership to look beyond short-term military victories and invest in long-term political outcomes. His comments come amid growing criticism from Israeli officials and security experts about the government’s handling of the conflict. Ayalon’s voice adds weight to the urgent global calls for a ceasefire and meaningful diplomacy. His stark words have sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles and reignited the debate over the only viable path to peace. #IsraelGazaWar #AmiAyalon #ShinBet #TwoStateSolution #GazaCrisis #IsraelAtWar #MiddleEastConflict #JewishDemocracy #Hamas #IsraeliPolitics #PeaceNow #GazaWarUpdate #SpyChiefSpeaks #MilitaryVsPolitical #CeasefireNow #IsraelLosingWar #IsraeliMilitary #PalestinianState #ZionistDilemma #WarWithoutEnd ~HT.410~ED.194~

Israel ‘Didn’t Need Trump’s Permission’: Top Official Snubs U.S As Netanyahu Woos Trump With Nobel [Video]

Israel ‘Didn’t Need Trump’s Permission’: Top Official Snubs U.S As Netanyahu Woos Trump With Nobel

In a significant geopolitical development, a senior Israeli official has stated that Israel no longer seeks or requires approval from the United States to conduct military operations against Iran. According to a report by the Times of Israel, the official directly countered the narrative of US dominance, claiming Israel has entered a "different relationship" with the Trump administration, granting it more freedom of action. This explosive statement comes just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the U.S. and has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The official explained this shift by pointing to the strong pro-Israel public sentiment in the United States, which they claim has the power to influence American leadership. Citing the influence of powerful Super PACs like AIPAC, the official asserted, “Public sentiment influences leaders,” suggesting Israel can now shape U.S. political discourse to suit its security needs. This is a stark contrast to previous administrations, with the official referencing Barack Obama's autobiography where even he admitted to having limits on his Israel policy. "With Trump it's the opposite," the official stated. "We agree on things. You don’t need to get approval." This comment implies a deep understanding between the two administrations, where Trump allegedly trusts Israel's judgment on existential threats. These remarks fuel speculation that while the U.S. may be engaging in negotiations with Iran, it has laid the groundwork for Israel to act independently, potentially leading to a major conflict in the Middle East. #IsraelIranConflict #USIsraelRelations #DonaldTrump #Netanyahu #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #AIPAC #OneindiaNews Also Read Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~
