Meanwhile, in Gaza, the IAF carried out a targeted airstrike killing Ahmed Al-Dalu, a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) military intelligence official involved in the October 7 massacre in the Israeli community of Kfar Aza.
The IDF accused Al-Dalu of actively participating in terror operations against Israeli civilians and stated that he was killed alongside another operative. The IDF's 162nd and 252nd divisions remain operational throughout the Gaza Strip, targeting PIJ operatives and eliminating terror cells, while also destroying weapons caches and other infrastructure.
As part of ongoing operations, the Nahal Brigade recently conducted an airstrike in Rafah in southern Gaza. The strike reportedly targeted a terror cell holed up in a building stocked with mines intended to injure Israeli soldiers, neutralizing the operatives and dismantling the mines.

Israel has officially withdrawn from a 1967 agreement that previously guided its relationship with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon confirmed the decision, citing Israelโs concerns that UNRWA has been infiltrated by Hamas. Danon stated that despite "overwhelming evidence" of Hamas presence in UNRWA, the UN has failed to take corrective actions.
โDespite the overwhelming evidence we submitted to the UN that substantiate Hamasโ infiltration of UNRWA, the UN did nothing to rectify the situation,โ Danon says in a post on X.
โThe State of Israel will continue to cooperate with humanitarian organizations but not with organizations that promote terrorism against us,โ he added.
Following the legislation on UNRWA, the State of Israel officially notified the President of the General Assembly of the termination of cooperation with the agency.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz expressed strong criticism, stating that UNRWA has allowed its facilities and personnel to be co-opted by Hamas, turning it into "part of the problem" in Gaza rather than a facilitator of humanitarian aid.
