Rafah

In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their 'last messages.'

The murder of the hostages could lead to tough discussions about Israel’s current tactics in Gaza and whether the endless ceasefire talks are having an effect.

In the ongoing conflict with Hamas, Israel’s unwavering demand to maintain control over the Philadelphi Corridor and Rafah Crossing has become a major roadblock to achieving a ceasefire.

The convoy entered the area earlier on Thursday in coordination with the IDF.

According to military sources in the Southern Command, the division is accumulating achievements that cannot yet be published but are at the core of Hamas's strength-building efforts.

Among what officials call "concessions," is included "Israel's gradual withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor during the first phase of the agreement."

The IDF dismantled a one-kilometer Hamas terror tunnel in Rafah, Gaza, eliminating terrorists emerging from the tunnel shaft.

The IDF added that they have located significant weapons caches, including explosives and grenades in Rafah and Khan Yunis.

In Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, troops operated killed dozens of terrorists, found weapons and destroyed above-ground terror infrastructure. 

Israel Air Force fighter jets struck targets in the area from which the projectiles were launched into the Nirim area on Friday.
