Hamas fighters attempted to kidnap 'Israeli' soldiers in Gaza attack: Reports
Hebrew media reported on Wednesday that Hamas fighters attempted to capture 'Israeli' soldiers during an attack on a post affiliated with the Kfir Brigade in Khan Younis, Gaza. The capturing attempt was part of a broader attack announced by Qassam Brigades, in which fighters carried out a complex operation lasting several hours against the newly established 'Israeli' military site. In a statement, the Brigades said a platoon-sized unit launched the raid by targeting several Merkava-4 guard tanks. They added that fighters shelled houses where 'Israeli' soldiers were stationed with six anti-fortification rounds and heavy machine gun fire, before storming the buildings and engaging troops at close range with light weapons and hand grenades, claiming to have killed and wounded several soldiers. The statement also said a sniper fatally hit the commander of a Merkava-4 tank. When an 'Israeli' rescue unit arrived, one of the fighters detonated himself among the soldiers, causing further casualties. To secure their withdrawal and block reinforcements, the fighters reportedly shelled surrounding positions with mortars. The Brigades said the attack lasted several hours and that their fighters observed 'Israeli' helicopters landing at the site to evacuate the wounded. The Israeli Occupation Forces confirmed the attack, stating that 15 Hamas fighters targeted the post. According to Hebrew media, the attack involved machine gun and anti-tank fire, with attackers emerging from several tunnel shafts before advancing toward the outpost. The attempt reportedly included efforts to abduct soldiers. The IOF allegedly managed to repel the attack, eliminating 10 Hamas fighters, including through aerial fire. A military source in the Southern Command said: 'Hamas has stepped up a level; it is increasing friction with the IDF. We are preparing for additional incidents.' An IOF spokesperson added: 'The incident is still ongoing, and the forces are continuing their efforts to locate and eliminate the terrorists.'

Majority of Americans support UN recognition of Palestine: poll
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that a 58% majority of Americans believe every country in the United Nations should recognize Palestine as a nation. The survey, which concluded on Monday, found that 33% of respondents disagreed, while 9% did not have an opinion. The findings come as US allies such as Britain, Canada, and France have signaled their intent to recognize a Palestinian state. The poll's results also indicate a broader shift in American sentiment regarding the conflict. A significant portion of respondents, 59%, said they believe 'Israel's' military response in Gaza has been excessive, an increase from 53% in a similar poll conducted in February. This support for Palestinian statehood appears to be part of a broader trend of declining American sympathy for 'Israel', particularly among key demographic groups. A recent Gallup poll found that approval of 'Israel's' military actions has fallen to a record low of just 8% among Democrats, while it stands at 25% for Independents. This contrasts sharply with Republicans, whose approval has remained stable at 71%. A similar generational divide exists, with only 9% of Americans aged 18 to 34 approving of 'Israel's' military actions in Gaza, compared to 47% of those 55 and older. The White House has previously stated that recognizing a Palestinian state would be a "reward for Hamas". The poll which surveyed 4,446 US adults nationwide has a margin of error of approximately 2 percentage points.
