Meanwhile, five Israeli soldiers were wounded in three separate operations by Palestinian fighters inside the Strip, according to Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
Gaza continues to face a worsening humanitarian crisis. The Government Media Office said more than 1.25 million residents are now experiencing 'catastrophic hunger,' with 96 percent of the population classified as severely food insecure. Nearly 650,000 children remain at immediate risk amid ongoing restrictions on humanitarian aid.
Since October 7, the overall toll has risen to 57,882 killed and 138,095 wounded, the Gaza Health Ministry said, adding that hospitals received 59 bodies and 208 injured individuals in the past 24 hours, including nine recovered from collapsed buildings.

16 Syrian troops killed in Suwayda clashes
Shafaq News - Suwayda Syria's Ministry of Defense confirmed on Monday that 16 of its members were killed while attempting to contain escalating clashes in the southern city of Suwayda. In a statement, the ministry blamed unidentified "outlaw groups" for launching a dawn attack on several army units, adding that Syrian forces responded and pursued the attackers, who refused to cease hostilities. Fighting broke out Saturday between armed members of the Druze community and Bedouin tribes, leaving more than 89 people dead and dozens more injured. It marked the first sectarian violence inside Suwayda city, following months of mounting tensions across the province. Interior Minister Anas Khattab said, 'The absence of state institutions, especially military and security bodies, is a main reason behind the ongoing tension in Al-Suwayda and its countryside,' stressing that security must be imposed and institutions reactivated to restore civil peace. According to media reports citing eyewitnesses, the violence erupted after a wave of kidnappings, including the abduction of a Druze merchant on July 11 along the highway linking Damascus and Suwayda. As of Monday, Syrian army units and security forces had reached the outskirts of the city, just five kilometers from the center. Sources familiar with the situation told Erem News that the Syrian army's rapid advance and control over the rural areas surrounding Suwayda prompted Druze armed factions to seek negotiations with the government. However, the Syrian government reportedly refused to engage in any dialogue before the complete surrender of weapons and the handover of all local institutions to state control. The clashes resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, including the reported death of Abu Bahaa Walid Salah al-Din, a Druze sheikh from the town of Najran. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes launched strikes targeting a convoy belonging to Syria's Ministry of Defense near villages in western Suwayda countryside, close to the border. The Israeli army confirmed the operation, describing it as an 'unconventional' attack after Syrian tanks reportedly crossed a designated boundary line set by Israel, adding that its aircraft struck several Syrian tanks that had entered a restricted area near the Golan Heights, specifically in the village of Sami, according to Channel 7.

Terrorist-Designated Samidoun, Linked To Popular Front For The Liberation Of Palestine (PFLP), Publishes Online 'Zine' Offering Guidance For Those Facing Terrorist Designation, Recommends Using VPN, E
On July 4, 2025, the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, linked to the militant Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) group and designated a terrorist organization in the U.S. and Canada, announced on its X account that it was launching a new zine, titled "What to Do When You, Too, Become a 'Terrorist.'" It noted that the 15-page zine was "inspired by our own experiences in the US, Canada & Germany and by the ongoing attempts of the British state to proscribe [Palestine Action] as a 'terrorist' organization," as well as "the years of state repression targeting a wide array of liberation struggles and movements" and "the designation of Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, Filipino and other resistance organizations as 'terrorists' by the imperialist powers." The document contains "analysis, advice from organizers, suggestions for security tips to support your organizing and resources for further reading," and can be downloaded, printed, and widely distributed. The zine recommends the use of VPNs such as Mullvad and Surfshark, and the Tor or Brave browsers for enhanced security, noting that using Tor after connecting to a VPN provides the greatest anonymity. Noting that "in-person, device-free conversations are always best for communicating sensitive information," it advises communicating via messaging apps featuring end-to-end encryption such as Signal, Molly, and Element when this is not feasible, warning that Telegram, Meta, and "other Big Tech corporations … have a history of police cooperation."
