Democrats chairman Yair Golan on Motzei Shabbos tried to backtrack on the outrageous statements he made last week about IDF soldiers “killing babies as a hobby.” Speaking in an interview with Channel 12, Golan said: “Of course, Israel doesn’t kill babies as a hobby. Israel has not committed war crimes in Gaza.” He excused himself by saying that his statements were directed at the government, claiming that the goal of the war in Gaza is “political.” He then claimed that there is no purpose of the war in Gaza, falsely stating that Hamas has already been “militarily defeated.” The interviewer asked Golan about the harsh statements he himself made following the October 7 assault, when he advocated for starving the residents of Gaza.

In an unusual and serious incident, an IDF soldier was seriously injured on Motzei Shabbos in a fight with another soldier in the northern Gaza Strip. The soldier was evacuated from Gaza by helicopter to the hospital. A preliminary investigation of the incident revealed that it occurred as soldiers from the Nahal Brigade’s 931st Battalion were resting in their compound in the Beit Lahiya area. A fight developed between two soldiers, and one soldier hit the other with a weapon and then beat him with a hot water kettle. The brigade commander interrogated the soldier and suspended him from combat service. A military investigation was launched into the serious incident. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

According to a report published by the Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat, Hamas is grappling with a deepening financial crisis as its war with Israel continues to rage throughout Gaza.
Insiders within the organization disclosed that Hamas is finding it increasingly difficult to meet payroll obligations—not just for its civilian government employees, but also for operatives in its armed forces and personnel in various affiliated branches.
The sources further noted that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the group’s military arm, have gone nearly three months without paying their fighters. In addition to unpaid wages, they are also struggling to obtain vital equipment needed for ongoing combat operations.
