Hamas' Deceptive Tactics: Using Israelis to Transfer Weapons

An IDF operation uncovered a Hamas terrorist cell that had been using Jewish-Israeli citizens, mainly in the Jerusalem area, to unknowingly transfer weapons and explosives. The citizens were deceived into believing they were working for Jews living overseas. The operation seized electronics that helped the Shin Bet expose the scheme, revealing that Hamas used fake online identities to communicate with the unwitting agents. Israeli intelligence warned citizens not to take instructions from unidentified persons online and emphasized the importance of vigilance.

The attack, which resulted in over 1,400 Israeli deaths, has raised concerns about the government's failure to anticipate and prepare for the incident.

UN urges PA to investigate Israelis' disappearance in Gaza on Palestinian Prisoners Day.

The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has instructed the Palestinian Authority to investigate the disappearance and incarceration of Israeli citizens Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are being held in the Gaza Strip under Hamas rule. The committee also asked the PA to ensure that the two receive adequate medical treatment for their psychiatric problems. The families of the two Israelis made the appeal to the committee, which has no authority to coerce the PA to take action, but it may pressure the PA to act in order to release the prisoners.
