'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'.

Hamas refuses talks until Gaza humanitarian crisis eases: Sources
Hamas has told international mediators that it will not reenter negotiations with "Israel" until there is a meaningful improvement in the humanitarian situation in Gaza, according to two sources cited by The Jerusalem Post. The group's stance comes in response to a formal reply "Israel" issued to a recent Hamas position paper. In that response, "Israeli" officials rejected Hamas's demand for the release of detainees in exchange for the return of the bodies of "Israeli" captives. "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly floated the idea of a partial annexation of Gaza during a closed cabinet meeting on Monday, should negotiations over a captives deal collapse. The discussion was confirmed to The Jerusalem Post by a senior "Israeli" source. Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed on Wednesday that "Israel" is making 'extraordinary efforts' to secure the release of the captives, while maintaining intense military and political pressure on Hamas. 'If Hamas does not soon announce the release of the hostages, it will pay a very heavy price,' Katz warned. Amid the deadlock, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, appointed by President Donald Trump, is expected to arrive in "Israel" on Thursday. His visit aims to push forward stalled negotiations and assess the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza. According to a report by Ynet, Witkoff and the US administration are concerned that far-right "Israeli" ministers, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, may obstruct any potential deal due to domestic political pressure on Netanyahu. The envoy is reportedly considering meeting with both officials to urge their support at what US officials see as a pivotal moment.

Palestinian National Council praises Jordan's support to Palestinian cause - Jordan News
President of Palestinian National Council (PNC), Rawhi Fattouh, said Egypt, Jordan, and all Arab countries have made "utmost efforts" to assist the Palestinian people in their current ordeal. اضافة اعلان Fattouh added that the pan-Arab "decisive" stance in rejecting the displacement of the Palestinian people stopped the final liquidation of the Palestinian cause, as the Israeli occupation had planned. During his meeting with Arab Parliament (AP) Speaker Mohammed bin Ahmed Yamahi on the sidelines of their participation in the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments in Geneva, Fattouh referred to role of parliamentary diplomacy in pressuring an end to the Israeli occupation's crimes and its siege on Gaza Strip. Yamahi, in turn, said defending the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, mainly establishment of an independent state on their national soil, will remain a "top priority" for the Arab Parliament.
