Soldiers serving in the Southern Gaza Brigade, part of the IDF’s Gaza Division, recently wrapped up a month-long targeted mission aimed at neutralizing underground terror networks within the security corridor in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
During this campaign, the brigade’s forces—working in tandem with elite Yahalom Unit engineering teams—discovered and neutralized a tunnel designed for offensive operations. The tunnel extended hundreds of meters underground.
The subterranean route contained numerous exit points, several of which were rigged with explosives. While securing the area, IDF personnel encountered a terror cell emerging from one of the shafts and engaged them, successfully eliminating the threat.

Virulently anti-Israel New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has catapulted into serious contention against former Governor Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination for NYC mayor, slicing Cuomo’s once-commanding lead to single digits, according to a new PIX11/Emerson College poll. The ranked-choice voting simulation shows Cuomo narrowly edging out Mamdani 54.4% to 45.6% after ten rounds of vote redistribution. The result marks a dramatic shift from March, when Cuomo held a 28-point lead over Mamdani in the same pollster’s survey. “With four weeks to go, the question is whether Cuomo can run out the clock, or if he needs to win over second-choice voters to hold off Mamdani’s momentum,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.

The Shin Bet announced the arrest of three Israeli citizens suspected of conspiring with ISIS operatives in Syria to carry out terrorist attacks against Israeli forces. The suspects, all residents of the northern Israeli town of Ar’ara, allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and were in the early stages of planning attacks within Israel’s borders, according to a joint investigation by the Shin Bet and Israel Police’s Coastal District. Authorities say the plot began to take shape following a violent confrontation between the suspects and Border Police officers in January. In the wake of the clash, the men reportedly escalated their radicalization and began establishing contact with ISIS agents abroad—specifically operatives stationed in war-torn Syria.

At a session of the UN Security Council dedicated to developments in the Middle East, Acting US Alternate Representative to the UN John Kelley condemned antisemitism and reaffirmed America’s firm backing of Israel, while sharply criticizing Hamas for both its violent conduct and for blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Kelley opened his remarks by mourning the loss of two victims of a deadly attack at a Jewish event in Washington: Israeli Embassy official Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, an American citizen. “Yaron and Sarah were murdered for no other reason than the assailant wanted to kill Jews,” he said. “It is horrific and shameful. We can and must do better to combat the sickening rise in antisemitism around the world.”
