In the same message, he claimed, "The danger still threatens the life of another female (prisoner) who was with her," implying that another female Israeli hostage was wounded. Her status remains unclear. 

The IDF later stated that it is "currently reviewing the information" and cannot "confirm or refute its authenticity."

A major airstrike in central Beirut at four in the morning is raising eyebrows.

Locals described the attack as hitting the Basta area of central Beirut. A large building was destroyed. People initially suspected a high death toll due to the presence of people sheltering in the area who had fled other parts of Lebanon. However, initial reports say four were killed and two dozen injured. More updates will come out as the rubble is cleared.

 What is important in this strike is that there was no call for evacuation. It also is increasingly part of a pattern of strikes on areas outside of the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh.

Hamas leaders remaining in Gaza may be looking to move to Turkey, two Israeli sources told Jewish Insider on Friday. 

The potential move follows reports and subsequent denials that Doha was booting Hamas out of Qatar for failing to come to a ceasefire agreement - and the officials would be relocating to Turkey. 

Despite officials denying the report, an Israeli and a senator told JI that two Hamas officials had already left Qatar.

The Israel Air Force has been conducting strikes on terrorist targets in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh, a southern suburb of Beirut, since Friday morning, the IDF confirmed on Saturday. 

The strikes targeted Hezbollah command centers, weapons storage facilities, and additional infrastructure intentionally embedded by the Lebanese terror organization in civilian areas in an effort to use the populace as a human shield, the IDF added. 

Prior to the airstrikes, the Israeli military took a number of precautionary measures, it noted, including collecting intelligence, using aerial surveillance, and issuing warnings before striking targets.
