Ukraine launches major drone strike on Russian strategic airbase
ALBAWABA - Mahmoud Mardawi, a senior Hamas official, has openly disclosed the reasons for the recent collapse of ceasefire talks in Gaza, accusing Israel of rejecting previously agreed agreements and making last-minute demands for adjustments that Hamas found intolerable. "After weeks of serious talks with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Hamas accepted a draft proposal that met the bare minimum of Palestinian national goals and civilian protection," Mardawi said in a comprehensive post on X. According to Mardawi, Israel's answer to the U.S. envoy's offer to show the framework to the Israeli side was a rejection of further negotiations. Rather, Israel requested that the Americans send the text back to Hamas as a last resort, eliminating any chance for debate or revision. According to Mardawi, the version that Israel requested included significant errors that compromised the main objectives of any truce. Among them were the lack of a firm commitment to a permanent cessation of military operations, a guaranteed departure from Gaza, guarantees of ongoing humanitarian assistance, and no legally enforceable commitments over the seventh day of the planned ceasefire, when the release of Israeli detainees was anticipated. Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk delivered a report regarding today's operation. An absolutely brilliant result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 1, 2025 At first, Hamas reacted with cautious support despite such flaws. Mardawi emphasized that although the group accepted the idea in theory, they opposed using it as justification for further hardship, famine, and evictions. In order to guarantee a real cessation of hostilities, the provision of sustained relief, the repatriation of displaced people, and a sincere Israeli commitment to leave the Strip, Hamas requested changes. According to Mardawi, Hamas was taken aback by the fact that the required modifications were exactly in line with the verbal agreement reached with the U.S. ambassador. Although Washington had previously supported the framework, it called Hamas's stance a setback and "unacceptable." Hamas is not undermining peace efforts, Mardawi said. He underlined that the group's position is based on preserving fundamental human dignity and safeguarding civilians. He reaffirmed Hamas's readiness to achieve a ceasefire that ends the conflict and ensures genuine aid for Gaza and urged international players to focus their pressure on Israel rather than those defending their people.

Haaretz: Israelis have killed 20 of its own captives in Gaza
ALBAWABA - According to a recent study by the Israeli daily Haaretz, Israeli military activities since the war's start on October 7, 2023, have murdered at least 20 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The research highlights the serious repercussions of Israeli bombings conducted without verified information on hostage locations, even though military authorities have repeatedly said that every attempt is being taken to protect the hostages. According to the research, Israeli attacks have put the lives of 54 prisoners in immediate jeopardy. The military often bombarded sites where hostages could be present without first confirming their precise whereabouts. One such instance mentioned was on April 7, 2025, when an Israeli aircraft struck a structure above a tunnel that was housing two hostages, Matan Zangoker and Idan Alexander. After the tunnel partly collapsed, the two barely made it out alive. Despite assertions of having accurate information, the episode revealed serious intelligence shortcomings. According to military insiders, operations go according to schedule if there is no information available on the hostages. "The more strikes we carry out, the more we risk harming the hostages," one insider told Haaretz. By recounting their horrific stories of barely escaping attacks, several former prisoners also disclosed that they were more afraid of Israeli bombs than of Hamas imprisonment. Three captives—Alon Shamriz, Samer Talalka, and Yoav Haim—were shot dead by Israeli soldiers when they came out nude with white flags, thinking they were being freed, according to the report. The troops were not informed that there were prisoners in the region. Another incidence occurred in February when an Israeli attack on a tunnel produced poisonous fumes that caused six captives to suffocate and die in Khan Younis. Yoram Metzger and Yagiv Buchstab were among the deceased. The hostages' families have voiced their indignation at what they see as the military's and government's "systemic negligence." One hostage's mother, Einav Zangoker, denounced the continuous attacks as politically driven acts that disrespect the life of the captives. "While the government bombs possible holding sites, our sons have been left behind for 600 days," she said. The military acknowledged some of the failures, with officials admitting that intelligence about hostage locations is often fleeting and quickly outdated once captives are relocated. One source described the army as effectively 'blind' in many operations, with decisions frequently made before receiving updated intelligence.
