In a surprising moment, one of the Israeli soldiers held captive by Al-Qassam Brigades kissed the heads of resistance fighters while being handed over to the International Red Cross in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
This took place during the handover of three Israeli soldiers held by the resistance, as part of the ongoing arrangements for a potential prisoner swap deal between Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation.
The scene quickly went viral on social media, with many seeing it as a testament to the humane treatment provided by Al-Qassam Brigades to prisoners, in stark contrast to the abuse and humiliation faced by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli
jails

Iran warns ‘Israel' of more powerful missiles in case of new attack

Iran said Wednesday that it is prepared for any new 'Israeli' attack and has developed missiles with greater capabilities than those used in the recent 12-day war with 'Israel'. Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying, "The missiles used in the 12-day war were manufactured by the Ministry of Defense years ago." "Today we have manufactured and possess missiles with greater capabilities than the previous missiles, and if the Zionist enemy embarks on another adventure, we will certainly use these missiles," he added. 'Israel' attacked Iran in mid-June, sparking a war in which Iran responded with missile and drone strikes. The 'Israeli' attacks killed senior military leaders and nuclear scientists, in addition to hundreds of others, as both military and residential areas were targeted. The United States also conducted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. A ceasefire between Iran and 'Israel' has been in effect since June 24. Iranian officials have since warned that fighting could resume at any moment, asserting that Tehran does not seek war but is prepared for any confrontation. On Monday, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Iran must be "ready for confrontation at any moment." He added, "We are not under a ceasefire, we are in a state of cessation of hostilities." Iranian media reported that the army will begin a two-day military exercise on Thursday, during which a wide range of short- and medium-range cruise missiles will be used. Western governments have repeatedly expressed concern about Iran's missile program, calling it a threat to regional security. In July, France called for a "comprehensive agreement" with Tehran that would include not only its nuclear program but also its missile program and regional ambitions. In response, Iran stressed that its military capabilities are not open for discussion.

Several civilians killed and injured in Israeli strikes across Gaza

Ammon News - Several civilians, including women and children, were killed and others injured since dawn today, Wednesday, as Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes across various areas of the Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported that five members of the Daour family, including the mother, father, and three children aged four, seven, and nine, were killed when Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced persons in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. Two more civilians were killed and several others injured when Israeli forces targeted the home of the Al-Masri family near Al-Samer junction, close to the Chamber of Commerce in Gaza City. Five others were recovered from under the rubble. In Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, three civilians, including a mother and her two children aged three months and 10 years old, were killed in an Israeli airstrike that struck a residential house. In central Gaza, one civilian was killed and others were injured after Israeli forces bombed a home in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp. Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been waging a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, including killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and binding orders from the International Court of Justice. The ongoing aggression has resulted in the killing of 62,064 civilians and the injury of 156,573 others, the majority of them women and children. Over 11,000 remain missing, while hundreds of thousands have been forcibly displaced. Starvation has claimed the lives of 266 people, including 112 children. WAFA

Syrian, Israeli diplomats met in Paris to discuss de-escalation — Syrian state media

Damascus — Syria's foreign minister met with an Israeli delegation in Paris to discuss de-escalation and the situation in Druze-majority Sweida province after deadly sectarian violence last month, state media reported Wednesday. Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer attended the meeting on Tuesday, along with Syria's intelligence chief, Syrian state television said, citing an unnamed government source. The meeting discussed "de-escalation and non-interference in Syria's internal affairs" and addressed monitoring the Sweida ceasefire announced by the United States last month, state news agency SANA said. "Both sides affirmed their commitment to the unity of Syrian territory, their rejection of any projects aiming to divide it," and emphasised that Sweida and its Druze citizens are an integral part of Syria, the broadcaster reported the source as saying. A week of violence began on July 13 with clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouin, but rapidly escalated, drawing in government forces, with Israel also carrying out strikes. Israel, which has its own Druze community, has said it acted to defend the minority group as well as to enforce its own demands for the demilitarisation of southern Syria. "These talks are taking place under US mediation, as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in Syria and preserving the unity and integrity of its territory," SANA said, adding they resulted in "understandings that support stability in the region". 'More stable environment' Israel and Syria have technically remained at war since 1948. As an Islamist-led offensive late last year toppled longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel deployed troops to the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights which has separated Israeli and Syrian forces since the armistice that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. State television said "the two sides discussed the need to reach a clear mechanism to reactivate the 1974 disengagement agreement... and establish a more stable environment". Discussions also addressed the humanitarian situation in southern Syria, with both parties agreeing on "the need to intensify assistance for the people of Sweida and the Bedouin", it reported. Hundreds demonstrated in Sweida on Saturday, calling for self-determination and some raising Israeli flags and accusing Damascus of imposing a blockade, something officials have denied, pointing to the entry of several aid convoys. Paris hosted a similar meeting between Shaibani and Dermer last month, while a diplomatic source previously told AFP that other face-to-face meetings were held in Baku. US envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack said on X late Tuesday that he met with Israeli Druze spiritual leader Mowafaq Tarif, discussing Sweida "and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tensions, and build understanding".
