Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the Israeli military to "carry out powerful strikes in Gaza," a statement from his office said.

Israel has strengthened its security with a series of sweeping military victories in the past two years. It has also become far more isolated internationally, with no clear path ahead.

The Israeli army said a strike on Yemen on Aug. 28, which killed the premier of the Houthi government and other ministers, also eliminated the militant group’s chief of general staff — in what the Israel Defense Forces labeled a “severe blow.

Israel will not allow Turkish troops to take part in an international force the United States has proposed to oversee the ceasefire agreement in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Israel's top diplomat said Monday.

The US Secretary of State stated that the strike was not a violation of the Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal and drew attention to the 13 deceased hostages whose remains are still being held in Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), on October 22, announced the elimination of a high-ranking Hezbollah commander in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon. Issa Ahmad Karbala was a Hezbollah Radwan Force platoon commander operating in the Ain Qana area of Lebanon.

Israeli forces carried out a targeted drone strike in central Gaza on Saturday, hitting what the military described as an individual preparing to attack Israeli troops. The operation took place despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that has largely held between Israel and Hamas.
