Israel recovers bodies of six hostages from Hamas during overnight raid in Gaza..i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article33348506.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200d/0_Israel-Declares-War-Following-Large-Scale-Hamas-Attacks.jpgThe bodies of six hostages have been retrieved from the Gaza Strip, Israel's military says. A statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says the bodies of Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell and Haim Perry were recovered from the Khan Younis area on Monday. The rescue operation was carried out by the IDF alongside the Israel Security Agency. The Hostage Families Forum said the recovery of the bodies had provided the families with "necessary closure". The statement went onto to say that the return of the remaining 109 hostages from Gaza "can only be achieved through a negotiated deal" and called on the Israeli government to "do everything in its power to finalize the deal currently on the table". Negotiations over a long-sought-after ceasefire and hostage release deal are ongoing, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken currently in the Middle East pushing for an agreement. On Monday, Mr Blinken said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to a US "bridging proposal" for a deal, after the pair met in Tel Aviv. Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on 7th October by Hamas gunmen, during which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage. More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/3566/live/635cfa90-5ec9-11ef-8d1c-5db809ccb2ad.jpg.webpThe bodies of the 6 hostages (above) recovered on monday

Israeli military launches major West Bank operation..by Aoife Walshichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/f4a4/live/07d46070-6507-11ef-8c32-f3c2bc7494c6.jpgIsraeli security forces say they are carrying out "a counterterrorism operation" in the north of the occupied West Bank At least 11 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, Palestinian health officials say Five were reportedly killed in an air strike in al-Far’a refugee camp, and six in a drone strike and armed clashes in Jenin This appears to be a major Israeli operation, with at least four Palestinian cities being targeted at the same time - Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus and Tubas It is believed to be the first time since the second intifada - a major Palestinian uprising from 2000 to 2005 - that several Palestinian cities have been targeted simultaneously in this way

Reports of gun battles in urban refugee camps..by Yolande Knell, Middle East correspondent, in Jerusalem
Local journalists are saying they haven't seen anything of this scope an scale in the West Bank since the days of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, two decades ago.
Israeli media says hundreds of Israeli forces active in four different cities at least in the north of the West Bank.
There have been air strikes carried out. We're hearing of gun battles going on inside the urban refugee camps.
The Israeli military has only put out a short statement on how it's working with other security forces on a counter terrorism operation.
Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz has put out a strongly worded statement saying the military has been acting since last night with full force - aiming to dismantle Iranian Islamist terrorist infrastructure.
He has said the threat must be addressed with the same determination of the threat from Gaza including possible Palestinian evacuations - something we haven't heard in an official capacity before.
He's not speaking on behalf on the military at this stage but clearly he wants that to be a message going out to the world.

Well done Israel. They don't do things like this for fun so they must have had good Intel that something was brewing, so they've gone in and put an end to it before it got worse.

It would be better if the Palestinians/Iranians stopped planning these atrocities against innocent people. Go Israel. |

The violence tonight in the West Bank wouldn't have happened if the Palestinians were not planning something. The violence in Gaza would not have happened if the Palestinians had not attacked on Oct 7th........can't you see the common theme? |

How far back do we go though, to truly identify the core, real, casual factor? Indeed.I don't often speak about this subject on here or elsewhere,as it's so complicated and far above my Station, given its history. I can see that this goes far deeper than the recent events since,and including Oct 7th, and I do have sympathy for both sides. A two state solution looks like the only way out of this, but that sadly will never be possible. I see this ending in regional all out war very soon.And this will never resolve it either. |

The Palestinians have been offered a two-state solution and turned it down (under Arafat). They wanted more. It would all end tomorrow if the Arabs stopped attacking Israel. |

Of course, if the Arabs stopped the bombing then the war ends now.But if Israel put there weapons down first, then Israel and every Jew would be blown of the face of the earth. The end to this is really in the hands of the Arabs.As you said it could end tomorrow if they stopped,but they won't. |

Lots of mischief hidden in Mosques. I heard they play backgammon there Too much fun for Islam. Backgammon involves a dice,therefore it's a game of chance and gambling. It goes against Muhammads wisdom. |
