Fire out of the floor. Golani reconnaissance troops met gunmen emerging from a tunnel in Israeli-held eastern Rafah Wednesday; an RPG into their vehicle wounded five soldiers, one seriously, per the IDF, which says one attacker was killed.
The vow, on the record. Netanyahu calls it a truce violation: “Israel will not tolerate attacks on IDF soldiers and will respond accordingly.” The answering strike in Khan Younis targeted a Hamas operative, the IDF says; Gaza reports say six killed.
The tunnel ledger, both sides. The IDF counts 30+ operatives killed and eight captured fleeing the Rafah tunnels in recent weeks; a Hamas member puts 60–80 fighters still underground and running short, per Times of Israel.
No cash for calm. Board of Peace envoy Mladenov denies any financial agreement with Hamas — “not on the table” — days after insisting decommissioning must run “in lockstep” with Israeli withdrawal.
The rejection holds. Netanyahu’s no to the Board’s disarmament roadmap stands — arms handed over upfront versus the plan’s phased sequence — while the Board says the plan is advancing anyway.
Boots still zero. The ISF remains on paper: a first ~200 troops approved by Israel’s cabinet, entry pending; Morocco is set to host the force’s first training, per Kan reports, with the US-led command HQ at Kiryat Gat.
Hamas holds its yes. The group says it remains committed to full implementation and asks mediators to prevent “violations or breaches” — its stated position unchanged through the week’s exchanges of fire.
