Hamas publishes hostage video, Houthis launch missile from Yemen

The IDF on Monday night admitted to firing mistakenly on an International Red Cross facility in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.

The ICRC first reported the incident around 5:00 p.m.

It noted that its building is well identified both physically on the ground and also by pre-planning with IDF commanders.

IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, Col. Avichay Adraee, issued a warning for residents in the Beit Hanoun areas of the Gaza Strip on Monday evening.

"To all residents of the Gaza Strip who are in the Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun areas - this is an early and final warning before an attack," he said. "The terrorist organizations are once again launching rockets from areas populated by civilians. This area has been warned several times in the past. For your safety, you must immediately move west to the absorption centers known to you."

The warning came after two rockets were launched from Gaza before being intercepted by the IDF.

Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary No Other Land, was lynched by a group of settlers, with IDF soldiers invading the ambulance he contacted to tend to his wounds and was later then taken by the IDF as well, according to a post on X/Twitter by the film's Israeli co-director, Yuval Abraham.

Abraham added that he was beaten, bleeding, and wounded in his head and stomach. Abraham also added that Ballal had since disappeared and that it's "unclear whether he is receiving medical treatment or what is happening to him."

Abraham made the posts on the social media platform in Hebrew and English. He then uploaded a video with a masked settler whom he claims to be one of the individuals who attacked Ballal's village, adding that "they continued to attack American activists, breaking their car with stones. Hamdan’s location is still unknown."
