Hamas attempt to seize Israeli soldiers in Rafah
Shafaq News – Gaza (Updated at 13:30) Hamas gunmen attacked an Israeli army position in Rafah, southern Gaza, and attempted to capture soldiers, Israeli media reported on Wednesday. According to Channel 14, at least ten militants tried to storm the post, prompting troops to open fire. Army helicopters later evacuated three wounded soldiers to nearby hospitals. Hamas confirmed the attack, stating that its armed wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched an assault on a newly established Israeli military site southeast of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. In a statement, Hamas said that a unit of fighters stormed the position, targeting several Merkava-4 tanks with explosive devices and Yasin-105 rockets. The Brigades also struck houses where Israeli troops were stationed, using six anti-fortification shells and small arms fire before entering the homes. 'Our snipers killed a tank commander, and hit surrounding areas with mortar fire to block reinforcements,' the statement added. The incident came just hours after Israel approved the mobilization of 80,000 reservists as part of a new Gaza City offensive. The campaign, named Gideon's Chariots II, envisions 'transferring civilians from combat zones to the south of the enclave before advancing,' Israeli outlets reported. While Israeli authorities described the step as necessary 'to dismantle Hamas,' critics cautioned that it could complicate hostage negotiations and increase domestic tensions.

Gideon's Chariots II: 80,000 reservists mobilize for new Gaza offensive
Shafaq News – Middle East Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has approved a new Gaza City offensive plan, with tens of thousands of reservists set for mobilization, local media reported on Wednesday. According to Channel 12, the campaign, named 'Gideon's Chariots II,' involves about 60,000 emergency call-up orders alongside an extension of service for 20,000 reservists already in uniform, bringing total manpower to roughly 80,000 troops. As part of the plan, 'the army will transfer civilians from combat zones in Gaza to the southern part of the enclave before advancing.' While Israeli authorities described the move as necessary ''to dismantle Hamas,'' critics warned it could complicate hostage negotiations and heighten domestic tensions. Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who led Israel between 1999 and 2001, cautioned that the offensive would hand Hamas a political victory and endanger captives. 'Occupying Gaza is a deadly trap,' he warned. 'It means we will not bring the hostages back; they will be killed during the operation.' כיבוש עזה הוא "מלכודת מוות" שתשרת את חמאס ותהפוך את תבוסתו לניצחון מדיני — אהוד ברק (@barak_ehud) August 20, 2025 Moreover, families of the remaining hostages urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pursue a ceasefire deal for the release of roughly 50 captives. 'Everyone knows conditions are ripe for a deal, and it is in your hands,' the Hostages and Missing Families Forum stated, emphasizing that Israelis want the hostages returned rather than further reports of soldiers being killed. Mediators are also pressing for a 60-day truce, including phased prisoner exchanges and wider humanitarian access. Earlier, Israel's public broadcaster, citing an official from the Prime Minister's office, reported that Netanyahu rejected the proposal, 'which Hamas had accepted.' The war, now in its 22nd month, has drawn mounting international criticism. Gaza's Health Ministry reported 62,064 Palestinians killed and 156,573 wounded since October 7, 2023.

Syrian, Israeli diplomats met in Paris to discuss de-escalation
Damascus – Syria's foreign minister met with an Israeli diplomatic delegation in Paris on Tuesday to discuss 'de-escalation and non-interference in Syria's internal affairs', state news agency SANA reported. The latest in a series of US-mediated talks resulted in 'understandings that support stability in the region', the agency said. Washington has been at work in recent weeks to try to resolve security issues in Syria and Lebanon, which its ally Israel says have prompted it to take military action. Despite a truce reached last November, Israel has continued to hit targets of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon, and it has occupied territory and hit targets across Syria since last year's fall of dictator Bashar al-Assad. Tuesday's meeting in Paris follows one between Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaibani and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer in Baku in late July, and another meeting in Paris before that. Israel and Syria have technically been at war since 1948, and the talks also discussed reviving a disengagement accord from 1974 that created a buffer zone between the two countries. '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,' the agency said. The recent meetings between the two countries come after deadly sectarian clashes in July in southern Syria's Druze-majority Sweida province which left over 1,400 people dead. The clashes initially pitted local Druze fighters against Sunni Bedouin tribes but soon saw the involvement of Syrian government forces and Israel, with the latter saying it wanted to protect the Druze. Last month, Israel struck the Syrian presidential palace and the army headquarters in Damascus. The United States, an ally of Israel but who has expressed support for Syria's new leaders, announced a ceasefire between the two sides overnight on July 18.
