The Turkish government has repeatedly denied allowing its territory to be used for Hamas operations, but Israeli intelligence assessments presented throughout 2026 emphasized that Turkey had become a “central overseas hub” for Hamas’s organizational, financial, and recruitment activities.
The walkie‑talkie model, believed to be a Chinese‑manufactured Baofeng UV‑5R or similar variant, is widely used by Hamas because it is inexpensive, easily smuggled and capable of operating on civilian frequencies.
The IDF eliminated two Hamas terrorists in central Gaza — both of whom participated in the October 7 massacre — who were actively working to rebuild the terror organization.
An elite IDF unit made up of women soldiers transforms into Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists on a simulated battlefield, exposing troops to realistic ambushes and urban warfare before they head into combat.
Both countries have spent more than a decade cultivating Hamas politically, financially, and ideologically, making them among the group’s most important international sponsors.
Four hostages taken from the Nova Festival on October 7, Noa Argamani, Andrey Kozlov, Shlomo Ziv, and Almog Meir Jan, were rescued from two separate apartment buildings in Nuseirat, central Gaza, by Israeli special forces, with team leader Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora falling in the gun battle.
The system weighs under twelve kilograms, draws less than two kilowatts of power and can be mounted on vehicles, rooftops or fixed defensive positions.
Through hundreds of systematic drillings, IDF forces destroyed over 11 kilometers of Hamas tunnels and hundreds of above-ground terror structures in Beit Hanoun.
The Israeli Navy conducted a large-scale drill off the Gaza coastline, reaffirming its coastal defense capabilities and deterring any future Hamas or terrorist invasion of the Israeli mainland.
The list reportedly includes more than 2,000 named operatives from Hamas’s Nukhba force, the Izz ad‑Din al‑Qassam Brigades, and allied factions such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The automation lies in the fire‑control algorithms: once a target is identified, the system tracks it, stabilizes the weapon, and calculates the precise moment of fire.
Drones and electronic devices undergo digital extraction, with technicians pulling flight logs, communication frequencies, and embedded software.
The expansion of control was enabled by the deployment of additional brigades, including the Golani Brigade, Givati Brigade, Nahal Brigade, and the 401st Armored Brigade, which have rotated through key sectors to maintain pressure on Hamas battalions still operating in fragmented cells.
IDF forces in Gaza destroyed four Hamas tunnels totaling over 4 km long, which were used to hold Israeli hostages taken on October 7 and house senior Hamas commanders.
Israeli troops dismantled two underground tunnel routes stretching roughly 2km east of the Yellow Line in central Gaza, uncovering multiple hideouts, weapons caches, dozens of rockets, and explosive devices.
Turkey’s hosting of Hamas operatives for training creates a direct contradiction with several core obligations of its NATO membership.
The military limbo has forced Israeli leadership to navigate a complex landscape of international diplomacy while managing domestic expectations for security.
IDF forces killed multiple Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza after they approached Israeli troops and posed an immediate threat.
Some experts claim Israel must cease hostilities and sign “solid “iron-clad” agreements with the Hamas and Hezbollah backed by UN forces.
