Israel-Hamas War: What happened on day 181?

Hamas rejected Israel's latest proposal to cease fighting and release hostages, according to a Friday CNN report.

According to an unnamed diplomat cited by CNN, “They refused and asserted it doesn’t include any reply to their asks.”

According to the diplomat, Hamas believed the “Israeli proposal includes nothing new, so they see no need to change their proposal,” the official added.

Negotiations were supposed to lead to a lasting ceasefire, per the UN Security Resolution passed last month, and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US have worked to try and broach a deal since the conflict broke out in October.

World Central Kitchen demands the creation of an independent commission to investigate killings of its aid workers by Israel's Defence Forces (IDF), the aid charity said in a statement.

In a statement on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Friday explained the series of errors which led it to mistakenly kill seven World Central Kitchens aid workers on Monday night.

According to the IDF, there were seven different actions points in the incident regarding attacking the three WCK.

There were multiple suspicious actions which the drone unit saw.

The drone unit said it saw a Hamas terrorist climb onto one of the trucks and fire in the air at what it called action point two.

According to the IDF, this tactic is frequent and is used by Hamas to send signals to other Hamas fighters in the area regarding his position.

At action point three, the convoy split up.

Rockets were fired toward the Western Galilee on Friday afternoon, causing sirens in Idmit, Eilon, Hanita, Ya'ara, Arab al-Aramshe, Manot, Neveh Ziv, and Avdon.

There have been no reports of casualties or hits from the rockets. 

A hostile aircraft intrusion alert sounded in the upper Galilee in northern Israel on Friday afternoon.

The alert sounded in Tel Hai, Kfar Giladi, Kibutz Dan, Beit Hillel, Manara, Kfar Yuval, Metula, Dafna, Ghajar, Snir, Margaliot, Misgav Am, Kiryat Shmona, Shear Yeshuv, HaGoshrim, and Ma'ayan Baruch.

The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday adopted a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF struck sites where rockets were launched toward Sderot, Kfar Azza, and Ashkelon on Thursday night with artillery fire and airstrikes, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said on Friday morning.

Additionally, on Thursday, the IDF destroyed a booby-trapped building in Khan Yunis with tank fire.

Israel Police shot and killed a terrorist who threw an explosive device at Israeli forces during a raid in Nur Shams near Tulkarm on Friday morning, according to Israel Police.

Israeli forces arrested three terrorists, and clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli forces during the raid.

Additionally, on Thursday night, the IDF mapped the Dura home of the terrorist who carried out the stabbing attack in Gan Yavne earlier this week in preparations for its possible demolition.

13 suspects arrested overnight

Overnight, 13 suspects were arrested across the West Bank.

Palestinian terrorists fired overnight toward soldiers operating near Fahma in the northern West Bank. The soldiers fired back, hitting some of the terrorists.

Israel Police arrested four residents of east Jerusalem and four residents of northern Israel for chanting in support of Hamas and inciting violence on the Temple Mount during dawn prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday morning, the last Friday of Ramadan, according to a police statement.

Footage published by Palestinian media showed a group crowding in front of the Dome of the Rock after the dawn prayers, chanting slogans glorifying Hamas and calling "in spirit and blood we will redeem you al-Aqsa."

"Those vile instigators and supporters of terrorism are residents of the State of Israel who are taking advantage of a religious occasion and using a holy place of prayer for incitement and support for terrorism and terrorists," said Israel Police. "Those people place a very big stain on the Muslim residents of Israel, and we call on everyone who opposes terrorism and incitement to terrorism - to act to prevent similar incidents in a holy place."

Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomed on Friday the US's clarification that any ceasefire in Gaza would be conditional on the release of the hostages after US President Joe Biden called for a ceasefire without including that condition on Thursday.

"I welcome the clarification by the US that any ceasefire in Gaza will be conditional on the release of the hostages. We will continue to work with our allies in the world to preserve Israel's right to continue the war until the release of the abductees and the defeat of Hamas," wrote Katz on X.
