Reports indicate that Hamas may be willing to agree to a set of Israeli conditions in exchange for a ceasefire and the resumption of consistent humanitarian aid to Gaza.
According to the London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, sources within Hamas have expressed a preliminary willingness to accept Israel’s core demands in exchange for a halt to fighting and a withdrawal of IDF forces from the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s demands reportedly include the disarmament of Hamas, the expulsion of remaining Iranian operatives and commanders from the territory, and the formal replacement of the Hamas regime in Gaza.

Orange no-entry signs posted by the U.S. military in English and Spanish dot the New Mexico desert, where a border wall cuts past onion fields and parched ranches with tufts of tall grass growing amidst wiry brush and yucca trees. The Army has posted thousands of the warnings in New Mexico and western Texas, declaring a “restricted area by authority of the commander.” It’s part of a major shift that has thrust the military into border enforcement with Mexico like never before. The move places long stretches of the border under the supervision of nearby military bases, empowering U.S. troops to detain people who enter the country illegally and sidestep a law prohibiting military involvement in civilian law enforcement.

Israeli forces reportedly staged a prolonged incursion into Syrian territory overnight Friday, according to the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen network and Syrian sources. Three IDF helicopters are said to have landed at a facility once tied to the presidential guard of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad in the Yafour area, roughly 10 kilometers west of Damascus. The Israeli troops allegedly held their position for nearly five hours before withdrawing. Simultaneously, three IDF armored vehicles reportedly crossed into Syrian territory near the Lebanese border, entering the village of Rakhla under the cover of night.
