"The IDF eliminated a sniper from the terrorist organization Hamas in the southern Gaza Strip." Thus the Israeli army on threat."
Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has released a video in which he threatens a Palestinian prisoner and promises to execute such prisoners if he is appointed defense minister after the upcoming Israeli elections. Al-Jazeera writes it. In the footage published on X, Ben-Gvir is seen confronting Palestinian prisoner Hassan Salameh inside his cell and telling him: "I want to execute you." In a statement accompanying the video, Ben-Gvir said that if he takes over as defense minister, he will ensure that prisoners like Salameh "are put to death" and will promote "immigration policy" - the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Salameh has been detained by Israeli authorities since 1996 and is serving several life sentences following convictions for deadly bomb attacks in the 1990s. Hamas condemned the "death threat" made by Ben-Gvir to Salameh in the video.
Eight U.S. Marines were injured two weeks ago when an Iranian cruise missile struck the ship they were serving on in the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported by NBC News, based on what was reported by three US officials. The soldiers did not suffer serious injuries, but suffered smoke intoxication and possible traumatic brain injuries, and experienced concussion symptoms such as headaches, officials said.
Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before Hamas' October 7, 2023 offensive to convey a further warning and signals of an imminent attack from Gaza, after two previous Egyptian warnings were ignored. The news, which comes from the Wall Street Journal, is widely reported in the Israeli press. The latest warning came in early October, when Kamel called Netanyahu's office directly. One source said Egypt continued to issue warnings until nearly 48 hours before the attack.
