'Israeli' army announces killing of three Hamas fighters in Gaza, including commander
According to 'the Times of Israel', the strike was carried out on July 10 by the IOF's 282nd Artillery Regiment and resulted in the killing of Eyad Nasser, who the army claims was the deputy commander of Hamas's Jabalia Battalion.
The army alleges that Nasser participated in the October 7 cross-border attack and, despite being wounded during the ongoing war in Gaza, later resumed his operational role.
According to the 'Israeli' statement, Nasser "was involved throughout the war in terrorist activity targeting Israeli forces in the area, including in recent weeks."
The military also said two other Hamas members were killed in the strike: Hassan Mahmoud Muhammad Mar'i, identified as commander of the central Jabalia company, and Mohammad Zaki Shamadeh Hamad, allegedly the deputy commander of a company within Hamas's Beit Hanoun Battalion.
All three were said to have taken part in the October 7 events, during which Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern 'Israel'.

Jordan ready to send humanitarian aid to Gaza once Israeli restrictions are lifted, says official
Ammon News - Jordan is fully prepared to send hundreds of aid trucks to Gaza once Israel lifts its illegal restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian assistance, Jordan's acting representative to the Security Council Sultan Qaisi said. During Jordan's address to the Security Council session on Middle East developments on Wednesday, Qaisi emphasised that the aid currently reaching Gaza is only a fraction of the humanitarian needs of Palestinians in the besieged enclave. Qaisi condemned Israel's targeting of civilian objects and places of worship, most recently the bombing of the Latin Monastery Church in Gaza. He called on the Security Council to ensure Israel's compliance with its obligations under international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. He denounced the Knesset's vote on Wednesday supporting Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian West Bank and the Jordan Valley, reaffirming Jordan's rejection of the Israeli claims. Qaisi expressed Jordan's support for efforts led by Egypt, Qatar and the United Sates aimed at achieving a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. He welcomed the statement by the foreign ministers of 25 countries calling for an immediate end to the Israeli war on Gaza, respect for international law and the rejection of displacement and demographic changes. Reiterating Jordan's stance, Qaisi said East Jerusalem remains an occupied city and that Israel has no sovereignty over it.

‘Israeli' army accuses journalist of ‘Hollywood' fakery in Gaza starvation coverage
Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif, a correspondent for Al Jazeera, has issued a public statement condemning renewed threats and incitement by the 'Israeli' military over his reporting from war-torn Gaza. In a post shared on his social media accounts, Al-Sharif wrote: 'Once again, the Israeli army spokesperson has launched a campaign of threats and incitement against me because of my work as a journalist with Al Jazeera. I reaffirm: I, Anas Al-Sharif, am a journalist with no political affiliations. My only mission is to report the truth from the ground, as it is, without bias. At a time when a deadly famine is ravaging Gaza, speaking the truth has become, in the eyes of the occupation, a threat.' His statement comes in response to a post by Avichay Adraee, the Arabic-language spokesperson for the 'Israeli' army, who accused Al-Sharif of fabricating a report that recently went viral. The footage showed Al-Sharif emotionally reporting live from outside a hospital in Gaza, where a woman fainted on camera, due to hunger, prompting the journalist to break down in tears. Adraee dismissed the scene as staged, calling it a 'Hollywood production - Gaza branch,' in a video posted to X. He accused Al Jazeera of colluding with Hamas and referred to Al-Sharif's tears as 'crocodile tears,' claiming the moment was a 'carefully planned shot.' He also repeated a common narrative by 'Israeli' officials, blaming Hamas for Gaza's suffering by alleging it 'steals humanitarian aid,' while ignoring 'Israel's' ongoing blockade that has largely halted aid entry.
