Israel pounds Gaza as West Bank violence surges
Quick Glance: Israeli Strikes on Rafah Kill 22, Mostly Children, as US Advances Aid Package
  • Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight killed 22 people, including 18 children, as the US House of Representatives approved $13 billion in new Israeli military aid.

  • However, fears of wider war breaking out in the Middle East have eased somewhat after Iran downplayed Israel’s reported retaliation over its unprecedented missile and drone attack on the country a week ago.

  • Israel has carried out near-daily air raids on Rafah and vowed to expand its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group to the city on the border with Egypt despite calls for restraint, including from the US.

  • Tensions have also spiked in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Israeli troops killing two Palestinians who attacked a checkpoint with a knife and a gun near the southern West Bank town of Hebron.

Quick Glance: Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Resigns Over Hamas Attack Failures
  • The head of Israeli military intelligence resigned due to the failures surrounding Hamas’ unprecedented attack on October 7, marking the first senior resignation in Israel's history.

  • Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva’s resignation could trigger additional resignations among Israel’s top security officials in response to the Hamas attack that initiated the Gaza war.

  • Haliva, alongside other military and security leaders, were expected to address the evident failures leading up to and during October 7.

  • Israel and its esteemed security forces were caught entirely off guard by the Hamas attack on a Jewish holiday, shattering trust in the military. The resignation may contribute to rebuilding some of this trust.
