Explosion in Gaza injures at least 16 'Israeli' soldiers, kills 2

A major security incident unfolded Monday evening in northern Gaza, where a powerful explosion targeted Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) near the town of Beit Hanoun. According to Hebrew media, a roadside bomb struck an armored vehicle carrying soldiers, resulting in a devastating blast heard as far as the 'Israeli' city of Ashkelon. The explosion injured at least 16 'Israeli' soldiers, with four reported in critical condition, and two confirmed dead. The IOF helicopters were deployed to the scene and dropped flares over Beit Hanoun to aid in the evacuation of the wounded under heavy darkness and ongoing tension. A second explosion reportedly occurred at the same site, targeting a bomb-laden robot as it was being prepared, further complicating rescue operations. 'Israeli' outlets described the scene as chaotic, with 'fire belts' and widespread confusion as 'Israeli' forces scrambled to secure the area. A rescue unit that rushed to the scene was also targeted, escalating the severity of the situation. Military vehicles were reportedly on fire, and at least one 'Israeli' soldier is said to be missing. The unfolding events prompted 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a meeting with a visiting US envoy after receiving an urgent briefing on the incident. As of late Monday, the IOF had not released a full statement, but sources confirmed that the situation remains fluid. Sirens were heard in 'Israeli' settlements near the Gaza border, signaling continued instability in the region. Hebrew media likened the scale and severity of the incident to the recent deadly ambush in Khan Younis, where several 'Israeli' soldiers were killed during intense clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters. The IOF has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the explosions, which come amid heightened tensions and nearly daily clashes along the Gaza front.

Netanyahu in Washington as Trump Hopes for Gaza Ceasefire Agreement - Jordan News

Netanyahu in Washington as Trump Hopes for Gaza Ceasefire Agreement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday, where he is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed optimism about reaching a ceasefire deal with Hamas this week that would include the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان Indirect negotiations between Tel Aviv and Hamas resumed Sunday evening in Doha, focusing on the implementation mechanisms for a potential agreement, including prisoner exchange, according to a Palestinian source familiar with the talks. President Trump stated on Sunday that there is a "good chance" for an agreement, telling reporters: 'We've already succeeded in getting several hostages out, and we expect a substantial number of the remaining hostages to be released this week.' Before departing Ben Gurion Airport, Netanyahu said he believes the upcoming meeting with Trump could "definitely contribute" to advancing a goal they both share—securing a ceasefire and hostage release. The White House confirmed the meeting is expected after 6:30 p.m. local time (22:30 GMT), but without the usual media presence. Trump is pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza, which has faced a catastrophic humanitarian crisis after nearly 21 months of war. Netanyahu stated: 'I have sent a negotiating team with clear instructions... to finalize the agreement as discussed, under the terms we approved.' However, on Saturday, Netanyahu described Hamas's recent amendments to the deal as 'unacceptable.' A Proposal on the Table According to Palestinian sources, the new proposal includes: A 60-day ceasefire Hamas releasing half of the living Israeli hostages Israel freeing a significant number of Palestinian detainees Hamas is reportedly demanding: Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza during the truce International guarantees to prevent the resumption of hostilities UN and internationally recognized NGOs to oversee the distribution of humanitarian aid A Mission of High Stakes Israeli President Isaac Herzog commented after meeting with Netanyahu on Sunday, saying the Prime Minister has a 'mission of great importance' in Washington: 'To bring all our hostages home.' There are still 49 hostages held in Gaza, including 27 declared dead by Israeli authorities. Previous Ceasefires A first ceasefire in November 2023, and a second truce for nearly two months in early 2025, led to the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, through Qatari, American, and Egyptian mediation. However, no deal was reached for the next phase, prompting Israel to resume military operations in mid-March, intensifying them in May with the stated aim of eliminating Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007. — AFP
