The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out an airstrike on Friday, July 5, on what they alleged to be a Hezbollah military building in Markaba, south Lebanon, after “a terrorist” was spotted entering the building.Aerial footage released by the IDF shows a figure outside a building in Markaba’s main square. Due to the poor quality of the footage, the figure cannot be identified. The video then cuts to a wider shot of the same location and shows a large explosion at the front of the building, where the figure had been observed.Storyful could not independently verify if the building was occupied by Hezbollah, or if the person entering was a member of the organization.Lebanese officials said one person was wounded in the attack.

Israel’s ground offensive is nearing its conclusion amid the threat of indefinite occupation and a continuing insurgency
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza (AP) — Hamas has given its initial approval of a U.S.-backed proposal for a phased cease-fire deal in Gaza, dropping a key demand that Israel commit up front to a complete end to the war, a Hamas official and an Egyptian official said Saturday. The apparent compromise by the militant group, which controlled Gaza before triggering the war with an Oct. 7 attack on Israel, could deliver the first pause in fighting since November and set the stage for further talks on ending a devastating nine months of fighting. Inside Gaza, the Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and wounded at least 50 others in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
A newly elected MP who won his seat on a pro-Palestinian ticket once told a Gaza rally “let’s make Israel burn”.
A former spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces has sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct of the war against Hamas, in the latest sign of growing tensions between the military and the government.
Israel on Friday said it would send a delegation to Doha next week to negotiate a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. "There are still gaps between the parties," Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s spokesman said after a first round of talks that were held earlier in the day. The statement from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's spokesman came after a delegation led by the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, David Barnea, held a first round of talks with mediators in Doha
At least five people were killed on Friday during an Israeli military raid in a Jenin refugee camp, according to the Palestinian Authority health ministry.

An Israeli military raid on Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Friday left five people dead, the Palestinian Authority health ministry said.At least 12 Pal
Since the Taliban's seizure of Afghanistan in 2021, relations have grown tense over the disputed border and other issues.
Hamas says amendments it proposed to the most recent U.S. plan for a cease-fire in Gaza “have been met with a positive response by the mediators.” Cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas appear to be reviving after having stalled for weeks, as U.S., Qatari and Egyptian mediators try to overcome differences that have repeatedly thwarted a deal. Late Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he was sending negotiators to Qatar next week, but “there are still gaps between the parties.”
Scuffles between Israeli police and protesters erupted in Tel Aviv on Saturday after thousands of people blocked a highway to demonstrate against the government.

Blindfolded, beaten and sometimes bitten by dogs, Gazans released from Israeli prisons allege being tortured amid the Israel-Hamas war, which rights groups say has worsened conditions for detainees.While the United Nations and others have long raised concerns about conditions for Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, rights groups say legal changes since the Gaza war erupted have aggravated the situation.
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Separate Israeli airstrikes killed at least six people Friday in central Gaza, including two children at a home and at least one United Nations worker, Palestinian hospital officials and first responders said, even as stalled cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas show signs of renewed momentum. Four out of every five people in Gaza — nearly 2 million Palestinians — have been driven into the territory's center by expanding Israeli military offensives and evacuation orders, the army estimated earlier this week. Violence also flared Friday in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces killed seven people in a raid and an airstrike, according to Palestinian health officials.
Hamas on Saturday tentatively accepted a US-backed proposal for a phased cease-fire in Gaza, abandoning its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war entirely. This potential agreement, still under negotiation, could initiate a six-week cease-fire involving hostage and prisoner exchanges and pave the way for broader talks to conclude the nine-month conflict.
