"IDF Annihilates Largest Hamas Tunnel in Northern Gaza Strip"

The IDF has destroyed the largest terror tunnel found in northern Gaza, measuring about four kilometers in length and ending near the Erez crossing without crossing into Israeli territory. The tunnel, discovered in mid-December, was a part of a wide network with branches and infrastructure, allowing the movement of vehicles and housing weapons. The IDF's ground maneuver and intelligence operations provided crucial information about the Hamas terror tunnels project, leading to its systematic dismantling as part of the ongoing conflict.

"Israel-Gaza Tensions Ease as Crossings Reopen, Allowing Palestinians to Return to Work"

Tensions between Gaza and Israel have escalated as Israel closed the Erez crossing in response to renewed violent protests along the separation fence. Thousands of Palestinian workers, who rely on daily wages in Israel, were affected by the closure. The protests, encouraged by Hamas, have involved burning tires, throwing stones, and releasing incendiary devices. Israel has responded with tear gas and live fire. The demonstrations have sparked memories of the "Great March of Return" protests in 2018-2019, where Israeli snipers killed over 300 Palestinians. Hamas is using the protests to gain leverage in indirect talks with Israel, while Israel is offering economic privileges in exchange for a freeze on military activities.

Israel Resumes Gaza Border Crossing Amid Ongoing Riots

Israel has reopened the Erez Crossing, its sole pedestrian crossing with the Gaza Strip, despite ongoing riots and violence on the border. The closure of the crossing has negatively impacted the economy of Gaza, as it prevents 17,000 Gazans with work permits from entering Israel. The crossing is expected to temporarily close again for the Sukkot holiday. Israel has also stated its preparedness to take action against Gaza if necessary, following recent unrest on the border. The protests are a response to escalating violence in the West Bank and alleged provocations in Jerusalem, and are seen as a tactic by Hamas to draw attention to the economic crisis in Gaza.

"Gaza Border Riots Persist as Crossing Remains Shut"

Palestinian riots continue for the sixth consecutive day along the Gaza Strip border, with reports of incendiary and explosive balloons being launched towards Israel. The unrest follows recent clashes and killings in the West Bank and Gaza, and comes amidst Israeli forces' daily raids in the West Bank and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to reach a normalization deal with Saudi Arabia. As a result of the ongoing violence, the Erez crossing, used by thousands of Gazans with work permits, remains closed. In a separate incident, a resident of Gaza was arrested in Tel Aviv with a butcher's knife.
