Israel-Hamas War: What happened on Day 67?

The IDF has begun pumping seawater into Hamas' tunnel complex in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday citing unnamed US officials, adding that the process would likely take weeks.

Some Biden administration officials have said the process could help destroy the tunnels, where Israel believes the terrorist group is hiding hostages, fighters and munitions, the Journal reported. Other officials have expressed concerns the seawater would endanger Gaza's fresh water supply, the newspaper reported.

Rocket sirens were heard in Kissufim.

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari stressed that the IDF is "doing its best" to differentiate between civilians and terrorists in the war in Gaza, after US President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday that Israel was losing support due to the situation in Gaza.

"We know how to operate against the power centers of Hamas in a way that does its best to differentiate between civilians not involved in terrorism and the terrorist targets. The IDF has been doing this since the start of the war and, of course, now," said Hagari.

Three rockets were fired from Syria toward Israeli territory, with two falling in Syria and one falling in an open area in Israel on Tuesday evening, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.

The IDF responded to the rocket fire by targeting the locations where the rockets were fired from.

Strong explosions were heard in the Quneitra Governorate near the Syrian-Israeli border and sites belonging to Iranian militias in the area were hit by IDF artillery fire, according to Syrian journalist Nour Abo Hassan.

The Israel-Hamas War in Gaza will continue to take up the main headlines for some time, but at this point the greatest strategic question still open in the current war is probably what will happen with Hezbollah in the North.

In the South, the IDF has mostly or will win, and the debate is how much will it win by, how much of Hamas will remain intact, and how chaotic will Gaza look after the IDF concludes its main military operations.

The IDF published footage on Tuesday of a soldier confronting two Hamas terrorists in close quarters in Shejaia in the Gaza Strip as the IDF continues operations in the neighborhood of Gaza City.

In the video, the reservist soldier in the Yahalom unit can be seen in an intense firefight with one Hamas terrorist during which a grenade was thrown at the soldier, wounding him. 

US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Israel is starting to lose support from the international community with its bombing of Gaza which has killed thousands of Palestinians.

"They're starting to lose that support," Biden told a campaign fundraising event in Washington. Biden also said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needs to change his hardline government.

The first batch of trucks of humanitarian aid underwent inspection at Kerem Shalom crossing before heading to the Rafah crossing to enter Gaza, the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced on Tuesday.

"This crucial step is set to expand the volume of aid reaching Gaza. We trust the UN did all the adjustments to receive and distribute the aid," said COGAT.

COGAT additionally announced on Tuesday that it had faciliated the entry of 50 bathroom stalls for shelters in Gaza which were donated by Water Mission.

The IDF retrieved the bodies of Eden Zechariah and IDF Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, two of the Israelis taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said on Tuesday.

The bodies were retrieved by soldiers from Unit 504 of the Intelligence Directorate and the 551st Brigade operating in Gaza.

The World Bank on Tuesday announced $20 million in new financing to provide emergency relief for people in Gaza, including $10 million for food vouchers and parcels.

The aid, which will reach an estimated 377,000 people, is part of a larger $35 million Gaza relief package, the Bank said in a statement. An initial $15 million in emergency relief was already delivered, the statement said.
