Three more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza, raising the death toll to 356 since the ceasefire went into effect, the enclave’s Health Ministry says.
Israeli forces have launched a campaign of arrests at dawn during an incursion into the village of Mas’ha in the occupied West Bank, and intensified drone operations over Jenin.
In it, he reiterated that the group is adhering fully to the ceasefire agreement, and that it is diligently searching for the two remaining bodies of deceased captives burried under rubble in Gaza, and that Israel is using these bodies as a pretext to delay movement to the second phase of the ceasefire.
“We went to this agreement fully aware of the magnitude of the challenges, whether in the texts contained in it or in the implementation mechanisms, and we are accustomed to the [Israeli] occupation’s evasion of its commitments”, he said.
He said that Hamas entered the agreement in order to stop “the daily genocide war that the occupation was waging against our people and our families in Gaza”.
“Although violations continue”, he added, “this is incomparable to what it was during the war”, urging the world to try to understand the group’s rationale in taking this course of action.
Fewer service members seeking careers in the Israeli military: The Times of Israel, citing statistics published by Israel’s Channel 12, reports that the military is facing a major crisis in retaining career service members in the Israeli military.
According to the report, the Israeli military is short of about 1,300 officers at the ranks of lieutenant and captain, and another 300 majors.
An internal survey conducted by the army showed only 63 percent of officers are interested in staying in the military, compared with 83 percent in 2018.
The Times of Israel said that recruitment to the army had been difficult as more Israelis are opting for civilian work “due to burnout from the war, perceived worsening service conditions, political delegitimisation, and discontent over recent appointments within [Israeli army] leadership”.
