Hamas Claims Capture of Israeli Soldiers, IDF Denies

Hamas claims to have captured members of an Israeli force during an ambush in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, a claim denied by the Israeli military. Abu Obaida, spokesman for Hamas' armed wing, stated that fighters killed, wounded, or captured Israeli soldiers, but did not provide specific details. The Israeli military refuted the abduction claim, while Hamas released a video showing an unconscious man being pulled into a tunnel, along with military gear allegedly taken from the captured Israelis. The incident follows weeks of intense combat and heavy casualties on both sides.

"Israel's Strikes on Gaza Refugee Camp Leave Over 195 Dead, Hamas Claims"

Hamas claims that Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 195 Palestinians, while Israel says it targeted Hamas commanders. As the violence continues, more foreigners are being evacuated from Gaza, with approximately 7,500 foreign passport holders expected to leave over the next two weeks. The United Nations has expressed concerns that the strikes on the camp could be war crimes, citing the high number of civilian casualties and the scale of destruction. The situation in Gaza is increasingly desperate, with shortages of food, fuel, water, and medicine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Israel and Jordan to voice solidarity and emphasize the need to minimize civilian casualties.
