🗞 Netanyahu in a speech to the Israeli public apologies for the death of hostages, saying Hamas will be punished for their death.

He adds that he will not agree to leave the Philadelphia corridor, because once they leave it, they will never return and this is important to deny Hamas the ability to build-up again in the future.

He adds that he will refuse any hostage deal that will demand the evacuation of the corridor.

📸 He adds that if they leave the corridor, Hamas will smuggle the hostages to Yemen or Iran (such a fake and delusional claim)

He also attacks his minister of defence and army commander who says we can leave the corridor eventually. They said so knowing they have the ability to come back anytime and know that Hamas hasn't smuggled anything through tunnels since SiSi came to power in Egypt.

📸 He concludes by showing an internal Hamas document about increasing the pressure on Israeli public emotionally by tackling the hostages and their families in media.

He concludes that they will not leave the corridor under any condition, proceeds to attack Biden and say his statement was useless.

Netanyahu then answered some questions, one of which is about when Israelis in the north can come home. He said he doesn't know.

✍ Some channel observation

- As I always believed, Netanyahu has a personal grudge and hate against Palestinians that surpass that of Lebanese. He never fought a war in Lebanon and I still think he won't in this battle. (Yet)

- This war seems that it'll end when Netanyahu's government either collapses or until the new Knesset elections. That's a long time from now.

His stance is so strong, it'll be some type of unprecedented internal pressure that could make him lean. He just declared things in a way he cannot walk back from.

📹 Hezbullah released footage of their successful Almas ATGM on an Israeli army checkpoint KfarYuval.

Several civilian cars used by the Israeli army were parked there. Two soldiers were injured, one critically and one moderately.

🔻 Hamas spox takes credit for executing hostages, says rules changed.

In a statement on Telegram, Hamas spokesman says that after the Israeli massacre of 200+ Palestinian civilians in Nusayrat Camp during the rescue attempt for 3 hostages, rules changed.

He says from then, whenever the army is close to the hostages, they will be executed and the army will no longer be allowed to operate in such matters.

This is what happened with last week's 6 hostages.

Adds the blame is fully on Netanyahu, and he will carry the burden of the Palestinian and Israeli bloodshed.

The earlier confirms the rumors that Hamas indeed left him to be rescued by the Israeli army, refraining from executing him for being a Muslim.
