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.

The Americans have halted operations at the humanitarian pier in Gaza due to weather-related damage.

This thing cost US taxpayers $320 million. It operated for only 12 days, and none of the aid delivered actually reached civilians in Gaza.

What a waste.

Good morning, dear friends of Israel Today!

As you may have already noticed, our website is currently unavailable. Our servers have been under attack since yesterday by those who want to silence the truth from Israel.

We are working to get back online as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we will continue to keep you informed at this critical time right here on Telegram and on our Facebook page.

Am Israel Chai!

This is what a lie can do.

They are out on the streets of Europe because they were told there was a "massacre" in Rafah.

For centuries, vile lies have been told to stir up hatred of the Jews.

By the time the truth comes out, the damage is already done.

Sources affiliated with Fatah (Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's party) say Hamas is killing anyone in Gaza who speaks out against it.

You can expect Hamas to add those deaths to the toll it blames on Israel, and for the ignorant international community to simply swallow the lie.

The Palestinian flag flies at the Irish parliament building.

Ireland yesterday joined Spain and Norway in officially recognizing the "State of Palestine."

‼️Palestinian terrorists in the area of Tulkarem (western Samaria) have been firing all morning at the nearby Israeli village of Bet Hefer.

Bet Hefer is situated on the Israeli side of the "Green Line" - ie. it is not a "West Bank" settlement.

The IDF is investigating the possibility that the fire that tragically took the lives of dozens of civilians following a targeted strike near Rafah was caused by exploding Hamas munitions.

Satellite imagery shows that Hamas had placed a rocket storage and launch site very near a tent encampment housing displaced Gazans.

Zechariah 12 tells us that in the last days, the whole world will come against Israel.

I don't know whether or not we are there yet.

But we are witnessing how quickly those verses can be fulfilled.

Iran reiterates support for Palestinian terror

The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will not affect Tehran's support for Palestinian terror groups or its approach to nuclear talks with the United States, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

Despite Raisi's death in a helicopter crash on May 19, Tehran's support for "the oppressed people of Palestine and the resistance groups pursuing the inalienable rights of the Palestinians to liberate their land and oppose the Zionist regime" will continue as usual, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani told reporters.
