Unconfirmed: Saudi media reports exchange of fire between IDF and Egyptian soldiers at the Rafah Crossing in southern Gaza.

Israel Channel 11 confirms exchange of fire between IDF and Egyptian soldiers, and reports that one Egyptian soldier was killed.

IDF: A few hours ago (Monday), a shooting incident occurred on the Egyptian border. The incident is under review and discussions are being held with the Egyptians.

‼️Heavy barrage of over 50 rockets at Mount Meron in northern Israel

IDF says 35 rockets crossed into Israel and all landed in open areas. No injuries.

Israeli forces responded with artillery fire on southern Lebanon.

Video evidence from the Rafah strike last night.

Two Palestinian eyewitnesses can be heard discussing the event as they film the resulting fire and secondary explosions.

The main speaker clearly says that the Israelis struck Hamas officials in a jeep (pinpoint, not indiscriminate bombing) that was for some reason in the tent encampment - that "some reason" being human shields.

At 0:21 a secondary explosion occurs and the speaker expresses concern that a rocket will fly at them, indicating that he knew Hamas rockets were being stored in the tent encampment.

Pro-Iran militants in Iraq launched two suicide drones at Eilat last night. Both were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace.

Hamas comes to Holland. Scenes from Amsterdam.

Hamas has for months claimed dozens of casualties EVERY DAY in various incidents across the Gaza Strip.

Why is the incident in Rafah getting so much attention? If Hamas figures are correct, it's relatively unremarkable in terms of casualties.

Unless their overall figures aren't correct, and they've finally got a real mass-casualty event to howl about.

The Rafah strike that has everyone in an uproar did NOT take place in the designated humanitarian safe zone.

It took place in an area that the IDF warned Gazans was an active war zone.

New details on the exchange of fire between IDF forces and the Egyptian army:

👉 Israel has full documentation of the incident, in which an Egyptian soldier can be seen opening fire at Israeli forces. Only one Egyptian soldier was shot dead in the incident.

👉 The Egyptian soldier was standing on a high guard post on the border near the Philadelphia Corridor, from where he observed the Israeli forces at close range, about 100-200 meters, and opened fire. Israeli soldiers immediately returned fire.

👉 Israel is fully backing the actions of its soldiers involved in the incident.

👉 Senior Israeli and Egyptian officials are in talks over the incident, and both sides would prefer to "let the incident die in peace."

Spain has announced its official recognition of the "State of Palestine," including the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria.

Spain further recognized East Jerusalem as the capital of this Palestinian state.

Rafah operation pushes forward. Israeli tanks spotted in the center of town.

"People in Gaza celebrated on Oct. 7, so they cannot now cry about suffering the consequences," an Israeli Muslim doctor tells Israel Today.

In the heart of Jerusalem, at the Hebrew University, Arab students demonstrate for the "liberation of Palestine", chanting, "With spirit and blood, we will redeem you, Palestine!"

And this with the permission and protection of the Israeli police.

Two Gazans discuss the fact that Hamas was storing rockets near the tents of displaced persons, and that this likely caused the Rafah strike tragedy.

Heavy fighting in the heart of Rafah this evening.

Brazil’s National Congress.

Hezbollah has launched a fundraising campaign, urging supporters to collect and send in all their spare cash so the group can continue to fight Israel and “liberate” Jerusalem.

Seems Hezbollah’s Iranian sponsors are a little tight for money.
