The southern front:
The names of two IDF soldiers who fell in battles yesterday were released for publication:
May their memories be a blessing.
It was also reported that during the fighting in Gaza during Shabbat (yesterday), four fighters were seriously injured.
Defense Minister Gallant said yesterday that they will soon start returning the evacuees from the south to their homes. Later, the Eshkol Regional Council informed that an official decision has not yet been made on the matter.
The IDF has attacked 200 targets across Gaza in the last day. Paratroopers raided an operational apartment in Shaja'ya, where they found ammunition, explosives and grenades, as well as an operational shaft of about 15 meters. In Khan Yunis, a remotely operated UAV eliminated 7 armed terrorists in addition to an ammunition warehouse located in the home of a Hamas member.
The IDF revealed to international media an operational shaft found next to a baby's crib in the Jabaliya refugee camp. The shaft was destroyed by engineering forces of the Nahal Brigade.
IDF forces raided the vacation homes of senior Hamas officials including that of Yahya Sinwar. The fighters found weapons and instructional manuals as well as computers and telephones. It was also reported that the son of a senior Islamic Jihad official, who served as a spokesman for the terrorist organization, was eliminated in the northern Gaza Strip.
In videos from the Strip many Gazans were seen looting the aid trucks.
The northern front:
Early last night, our forces intercepted a surface-to-air missile that was launched toward an IDF tank in southern Lebanon.
An anti-tank missile was fired this morning at Kibbutz Sasa in the north. There were no casualties but a school auditorium was damaged. The IDF responded with artillery fire at Hezbollah targets.
The West Bank:
Our forces operated last night in the Nour al-Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm, arrested several wanted persons, and confiscated weapons. IDF drones attacked terrorist squads who shot and threw explosives at our forces. At least four terrorists were eliminated.
In Israel:
Two border patrol (MGB) soldiers were temporarily suspended from their duties, on suspicion of attacking a photographer in East Jerusalem. According to the police, the photographer, of a Turkish news agency, interfered with the forces who were dealing with public disturbances.
National Security Minister Ben Gvir spoke with one of the fighters last night, showed him support, and said that it is impossible to judge fighters "under laboratory conditions".
Remnants of a rocket from the barrage which was fired at Jerusalem on Friday were discovered in the yard of a kindergarten as well as at a construction site.
On a positive note:
Since the beginning of the war, many Israelis have volunteered to help farmers in the Gaza envelope and throughout the country, due to the lack of workers. Many volunteer organizations joined the cause, and the Ministry of Agriculture is helping finance the logistical costs.
According to data from the chief medical officer, 94% of those wounded in the war survive. These figures are higher than ever before. In an interview, the chief medical officer said that "the IDF today benefits from the most advanced combat medicine. We are able to save wounded soldiers that we didn't previously know how to save."

Trucks with humanitarian aid crossed for the first time through the Kerem Shalom crossing on the Israeli border. Last week the government approved the passage of trucks through this crossing in order to meet the 200 trucks per day goal which was set as part of the hostage release agreement. The National Security Headquarters stated that the opening is temporary until the Rafah crossing is expanded to allow passage of additional trucks. The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, opposed the decision and called for a cabinet discussion on the issue.
In videos from the Strip many Gazans were seen looting the aid trucks.
