IDF Operations in Gaza and Lebanon Intensify

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been actively targeting Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza, resulting in the elimination of approximately 100 militants in Rafah and the destruction of numerous terrorist infrastructure sites. Concurrently, Israeli forces neutralized 20 terrorists and dismantled a tunnel entrance in Rafah, while also targeting terrorists in Khan Yunis and other areas. Despite these efforts, U.S. officials express skepticism about Israel's ability to completely eradicate Hamas and are advocating for a ceasefire to secure the release of hostages. In northern Israel, an IDF investigation is underway following the discovery of a hostile surveillance drone near Beit Jann, and the Israel Air Force has struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
