'Israeli' army deploys new 'Bar' rocket in Gaza for first time
According to a statement from the IOF spokesperson, the precision-guided rockets, developed by 'Israeli' defense contractor Elbit Systems, were deployed by the 282nd Artillery Regiment to allegedly strike Hamas positions in southern Gaza.
The Bar rocket, designed for high accuracy and rapid deployment, was used to target what the IOF described as 'Hamas terror infrastructure' in densely populated areas of southern Gaza.
The 'Israeli' military claimed that the strikes were allegedlly aimed at minimizing civilian casualties, though Gaza's Health Ministry reported 12 civilian deaths and 37 injuries in the affected areas, attributing them to the IOF's latest operations.

'Israeli' airstrike kills Gaza police official, 11 family members
'Israeli' airstrike on Saturday targeted the home of Colonel Omar Saeed Aql, the police chief of Nuseirat in central Gaza, killing him and 11 members of his family, according to a statement by the local police department. The strike hit the family home in the town of Al-Zawaida, in what local authorities described as yet another massacre amid 'Israel's' ongoing war on Gaza. The General Directorate of Police in Gaza mourned the victims, stating that such attacks would not break the will of the Palestinian people or the determination of police officers who continue to serve the public under fire. The directorate reiterated its call on the international community and the United Nations to take decisive action to stop 'Israel's' repeated violations against police personnel performing civilian duties, warning that targeting them violates international law.

Hamas source reveals key disputes in ceasefire talks
Hamas sources say ceasefire negotiations over Gaza are still ongoing, with major sticking points including maps of 'Israeli' troop deployment during the proposed 60-day truce and the exchange of prisoners. The maps, presented by mediators, reportedly show 'Israeli' forces withdrawing from the Morag axis between Khan Younis and Rafah, while retaining positions covering about 20% of Gaza. Hamas is reviewing the maps positively but seeks adjustments. A response from the 'Israeli' side is still awaited. If approved, the next focus of negotiations will be the terms of a prisoner swap, which could take several more days. Pressure is mounting on mediators and the US to push 'Israel' to agree to the terms, especially regarding full troop withdrawal. Disagreements also remain over humanitarian aid arrangements, with Hamas accusing 'Israel' of stalling. Hebrew media describe this week as a turning point, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructing his team to stay in Doha and possibly send additional senior officials to the talks.
