Hamas Outlines Biet Hanoon Ambush

The Hamas Al-Qassam Brigades broadcast, Tuesday, footage of a well-planned ambush in Beit Hanoun, north of the Gaza Strip, that resulted in the death of five and the injury of about 20 Israeli soldiers.

The footage showed the documented targeting of an Israeli army force with two explosive devices on the evening of 7 July, in an agricultural area north of Beit Hanoun.

Al-Qassam Brigades stated that this ambush was part of the “Stones of David” operations it launched in response to the Israeli “Gideon’s Wagons.”

The footage included the moment the force advanced toward the planned ambush before the first explosive device exploded, scattering the limbs screaming Israeli soldiers. The footage also included the targeting of a second Israeli force send to rescue the soldiers with a larger explosive device.

The Beit Hanoun ambush is considered one of the most precise and complex ambushes carried out by the resistance since the outbreak of the aggression on Gaza in October 2023. Al-Qassam Brigades concluded the footage with the phrase “nothing has been decided yet.”

The Qassam Brigades have repeatedly set up sophisticated ambushes against the occupation army, inflicting heavy casualties, destroying and damaging hundreds of military vehicles, and shelling cities and settlements with medium- and long-range missiles.

Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip continue to confront the occupation forces advancing into various areas of the enclave after the Israeli occupation army resumed its aggression and tightened its siege of the Gaza Strip. This followed a two-month cessation of hostilities under a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on January 19. However, the occupation forces violated the terms of the agreement throughout the truce period.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupation forces, with direct support from the United States and Western countries, have continued to wage a devastating war in Gaza, resulting in the death and injury of approximately 221,000 Palestinians to date, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip according to Jo24.

Netanyahu ‘Incapable of Governing’ as Far-Right Controls Him Says ex-PM

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “incapable of governing his own government” because far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, and ultra-Orthodox groups have taken control of him.

“He is incapable of governing his own government, because Ben-Gvir and Smotrich and Haredim, they all control him,” Bennett said in an interview with broadcaster Mario Nawfal.

“I would not entertain in my government any idiots that talk about– just really stupid statements that people like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich say. I would not have allowed Ben-Gvir into my government to begin with. But if someone in my government said something like that, I would call them to order. Netanyahu can no longer do that because he depends upon them,” he said.

Bennett acknowledged that Israel’s international standing has deteriorated badly, stemming not from biased media or external propaganda, but from the government’s conduct — ministers inflicting “ongoing self-inflicted wounds” on Israel’s image while the country conducted “zero public diplomacy.”

The former prime minister argued that prolonged Israeli wars in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and the Iran front were contrary to Israel’s military doctrine and were draining the country. “It’s not Israel’s doctrine,” he said.

“If we have to pursue war, do it quickly, intensively, win and move on to stabilize the region. When you drag it on for such a long time, it exhausts our economy, exhausts our reservists,” he added. Anadolu
