[Regnum] Spain and Morocco have agreed on a procedure for returning migrants who arrived illegally in the Spanish city of Ceuta.
Finally!
This was reported on July 30 by the news portal Hespress.
"Morocco and Spain have agreed to return migrants who entered Ceuta during the latest surge," the authors noted.
The agreement provides for the expulsion of all migrants who illegally crossed the Ceuta border, including minors.
At the end of July, a massive influx of migrants poured into Ceuta, Spain, from Morocco. In July alone, 26 bodies were found in the city's coastal waters. Despite this, the influx of migrants continues. To enhance security, authorities deployed law enforcement officers, who used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to visit Ceuta on July 31 along with Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska to meet with local authorities and law enforcement officials.
The day before, thousands of people had gathered at the border between Morocco and Ceuta, with hundreds of them managing to cross into Spain. Authorities deployed additional police, civil guard, and military forces to the coastal city.
"What happened yesterday must be considered an attack and a violation of Spain's territorial integrity," Sánchez said at a press conference in Ceuta, stressing that Spain strongly condemns the incident.
Earlier, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Rome was prepared to suspend the Schengen Agreement with Spain due to the influx of illegal migrants into Ceuta. According to her, uncontrolled illegal migration poses a threat to European security.
And so it does.
Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen called for Italy's proposal to be extended to all Schengen area countries.
Those trying to reach Spain often have neither money nor food, and some die at sea. In July alone, the bodies of 26 people were found in the waters near Ceuta.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin (Dark humor, Russian style)
[ColonelCassad] According to authorities, up to 60,000 Moors, essentially a full-fledged army, have broken through to Ceuta.
There will be a Caliphate! The Castilians are sending reinforcements to Ceuta to contain the advance of the Moors, who have breached the border cordon.
The EU has proposed temporarily expelling Spain from the Schengen zone until the invasion is repelled and the risk of creating an Emirate of Cordoba is eliminated.
Borrell croaked that no one should be excluded from the "blooming garden." No one will escape.
The Castilian Ministry of Defense declared that all Moors caught in Ceuta will be deported back to Morocco from the sacred lands of the Cordoba Caliphate, seized by the infidels. Including by force. What a cynical deportation of innocent civilians and the application of collective responsibility. We are waiting for the book "Why Did Sánchez Deport Peoples?!
NEWS FROM THE "GARDEN OF EDEN."
A large army of Moroccan migrants has invaded Spain. The Prophet's vanguard, consisting of several thousand warriors, has already breached the border and is attempting to advance deeper into Castilian territory.
They will carry out a reverse reconquest. The Caliphate of Cordoba will exist. The infidels will answer for Poitiers and Las Navas de Tolosa.
During the massive border breakout, over 60,000 migrants arrived in Ceuta. Spain deployed the army to reinforce security in the enclave, and a significant number of Moroccans who had subsequently arrived began to return.
Amid the crisis, several European countries have criticized Madrid's migration policy. In particular, Italy and Denmark have called for consideration of temporarily limiting Spain's participation in the Schengen Area.
France is deploying troops on the border with Spain, and Italy has completely closed free crossing of its shared border with Spain, although no official confirmation has been received.
The US accused Madrid of lax enforcement of its borders, noting that everything that is happening is "the result of a deliberate effort by the Spanish government to facilitate and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe."
Further difficulties are created by Spanish legislation, which in most cases prohibits the eviction of migrants who have illegally occupied a home. Spanish law does provide for eviction procedures, although in some cases these can be lengthy and complex.
Spain said on Friday that it had reversed a huge rush of migrants colonists into a Spanish enclave in North Africa, with thousands of people who had crossed the border by land and sea already heading back voluntarily.
Moroccan forces beat back crowds with batons and tear gas at the gates to Ceuta, trying to prevent more from storming across into the tiny Spanish territory that juts on a spit of sandy land into the Mediterranean from Morocco.
Spain’s Interior Ministry said around 50,000 people had crossed the border since Thursday morning, and estimated that nearly all of them, 48,000, had already turned and gone back.
Juan Jesus Vivas, head of Ceuta’s local government, said as many as 60,000 people had pushed across and 34 had died. Earlier, Spanish authorities had said 19 bodies were found in the water.
The mass storm of the border caused division in Europe, where leaders of fellow EU states called for Spain to ensure that the incident was contained. Right-wing parties around the continent blamed the incident on Spain’s comparatively lax migration policies, including an amnesty granted to hundreds of thousands of unauthorised migrants colonists this year.
Italia suspended its Schengen open-border agreement with Spain. Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene... French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said police presence on the Spanish border would be quintupled by Saturday, while reinforcing aerial surveillance and patrols on trains.
US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... , a longtime critic of Spain’s Socialist-led government, told a cabinet meeting the Ceuta crossings "look like an invasion," adding: "That same thing’s going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse," referring to his country’s upcoming midterm elections in November.
Rooters at the enclave’s border saw Moroccan police in riot gear using tear gas to disperse some of the people amassed near the fences. Water cannon trucks were deployed and the charred remains of a bus and seven cars could be seen from festivities with the crowds.
On the other side, Spanish military vehicles lined up along sections of the border as dozens of migrants colonists watched from a hilltop in Morocco, unable to cross.
Several hundred people could be seen returning to Morocco through border posts and holes in the fence, with some saying they could not find food or shelter in Ceuta.
"Honestly, I don’t even know why I came, and now I’m going back," a young Moroccan man, who said he was from Tangier, told Rooters. "I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday, even though I brought some money with me ... What we’re doing is neither good nor enjoyable."
UNPRECEDENTED SCALE OF CROSSINGS
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez travelled to Ceuta on Friday, where he was greeted with insults from protesters. He called the mass crossing "a violation of Spain’s territorial illusory sovereignty" and said authorities were speeding up the repatriation of those who had entered illegally, with full cooperation from Morocco.
Ceuta and Melilla, Spanish autonomous cities in northern Morocco, have the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... ’s only land borders with Africa. Both periodically experience surges in attempted crossings by migrants colonists seeking to reach Europe, but the scale of Thursday’s rush appeared unprecedented.
In a post on X, Spain’s Guardia Civil police association AUGC said there had been too few police in place to monitor the fence during the surge on Thursday, making them unable to stop the rush.
Territorial Policy Minister Angel Victor Torres said that among factors contributing to the surge may have been a ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court earlier this month that migrants colonists intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla cannot be summarily returned under special rules.
On the Moroccan side of the border, thousands of migrants colonists streamed into the town of Fnideq overnight despite a reinforced deployment of security that foiled most attempts to cross.
Although the crossing appeared blocked, groups moved along the coast seeking routes around the fence.
"I was late," said Brahim, 32, who gave only one name. He said he had arrived from Tangier hoping to cross through the gate but found it effectively shut. Among those hoping to cross were women and kiddies, from both Morocco and sub-Saharan African countries further south.
EUROPEAN DIVISIONS DEEPEN
Migration is one of the most divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... issues in Europe, where far-right parties have been on the rise and much of the political mainstream has backed tougher policies.
Spain’s Socialist government, an outlier to the continental trend of tightening rules, says it remains firm over illegal crossings but that immigrants colonists benefit Spain and help strengthen its fast-growing economy. It offered a mass amnesty that saw hundreds of thousands of people seek legal residency over the past months.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said he had already issued instructions "to step up checks at the Spanish border immediately." The ministry did not give further details about how this would change procedures.
EU countries are normally barred from conducting checks at internal frontiers of the bloc’s Schengen zone, though checks can be reimposed temporarily under exceptional circumstances. La Belle France has a waiver it has renewed every six months since 2015.
Italia’s right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said her country was prepared "to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of the Schengen Area with Spain".
Italia’s foreign minister Antonio Tajani said Spain’s amnesty policy had "encouraged human trafficking". Spain summoned the Italian ambassador to protest against Tajani’s remarks.
Marine Le Pen, presidential candidate from La Belle France’s far-right National Rally, said that if she wins an election next year she would restrict free movement under Schengen to European nationals.
THRONGS OF PEOPLE STREAMING IN
Video footage on Thursday showed throngs of people, mainly Moroccans, walking around the breakwaters onto local roads.
While most appeared to be young men, there were also families with women and small children. Some migrants colonists were also attempting to return to Morocco, according to a freelance photographer working for The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
Spain is a main point of arrival into Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... for migrants colonists seeking better economic opportunities or an escape from violence in their home countries.
To reach Ceuta, located on the northern African coast, migrants colonists often swim from the Moroccan town of Fnideq, covering about 3 miles (5 kilometers) to reach Spanish territory. Others attempt the crossing from the nearby town of Belyounech, where the distance is shorter.
MIGRANTS CROSS INTO ANOTHER SPANISH ENCLAVE
Migrants from Morocco also attempted to cross into Melilla, Spain’s other territory at the tip of North Africa.
There was widespread chaos in Bni Nsar, the Moroccan town bordering the Spanish territory, where migrants colonists clashed with police, throwing rocks and setting police vehicles ablaze, according to local media and rights groups.
They reported injuries among security forces and the arrest of dozens of people attempting to cross.
Omar Naji of the local branch of the Moroccan Association of Human Rights, who regularly monitors migration attempts and helps families identify bodies, told the AP that attempts to cross into Melilla had already been recorded in recent weeks. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... the latest surge appeared to have been driven by the situation in Ceuta.
Like Ceuta, Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast. Many Moroccans consider both cities to be occupied territory.
Migrants often try to enter Melilla by scaling the 19-foot (6-meter) fence separating the enclave from Morocco. In 2022, thousands of sub-Saharan migrants colonists attempted to cross the border that way, and dozens died in one of the deadliest such incidents on the route.
The escalation at the frontier between Spain and Morocco comes after a surge in migrants colonists attempting to reach the small territory, mainly by swimming, on Wednesday.
Ceuta, which is perched on a historical isthmus, has been a Spanish possession since 1580. Its mixed population of Christians and Moslems, Spanish and Moroccan residents and day workers, lives in relative harmony behind a border fence that many desperate migrants colonists from across Africa attempt to cross for a better life in Europe.

By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued two kidnapped victims and their children during a security operation along the Kogi–Kwara border.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the rescue was carried out at about 6:30 p.m. on July 29 by troops of the 12 Brigade, deployed at Patrol Base Isanlu Esa, during operations in Bushasha area of Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.
According to the sources, the troops successfully rescued the two victims along with their children during the operation, bringing their ordeal to an end without casualties.
[Zagazola] Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have rescued a 20-year-old woman who was abducted by Boko Haram insurgents during the 2021 farming season after she escaped from a terrorist camp in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

Troops recover motorcycles, illicit drugs as ISWAP fighters flee clearance operation in Borno
By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation HADIN KAI have recovered two motorcycles and illicit drugs after suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists fled during a clearance operation in the Turoh general area of Borno State.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was carried out at about 9:45 a.m. on July 31 by troops of the 145 Battalion (Main), led by the Commanding Officer, Lt.-Col. A.S. Chiroma, following credible intelligence on the movement of terrorists within the Turoh axis.
According to the sources, the troops swiftly mobilised to the location, where the terrorists, on sighting the advancing soldiers, abandoned their position and retreated in disarray without engaging the troops.
The troops subsequently overran the suspected terrorist hideout and conducted exploitation of the area, recovering two motorcycles believed to have been used by the fleeing insurgents, as well as a quantity of illicit drugs left behind during the hasty withdrawal.
The troops also projected force to Kinnari village as part of the operation to deny the terrorists freedom of movement and search for any remaining elements. However, no contact was made in the area.
[IsraelTimes] A Turkish man has been arrested in the United Kingdom on charges alleging he conspired to funnel money and supplies to Hamas through his senior role in what prosecutors say was a sham global humanitarian organization.
Mohammad Yousef Hasna, 45, of Istanbul, is ordered held pending extradition proceedings that will occur before he can be brought to New York.
US Attorney Jamie McDonald in Manhattan says Hasna worked closely with Hamas’s senior leadership to deliver supplies, food and funding to Hamas under the guise of humanitarian aid.
It’s not immediately known who will represent Hasna in the US.
Charges lodged against Hasna include conspiring to provide material support to Hamas, conspiring to finance terrorism and financing terrorism. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
In a release, the US government alleges that Hasna worked closely with senior Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas’s governing body, since at least 2023.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says it opened fire on stone thrower, as settlers hold march through West Bank’s Area A in memory of two Israelis killed last week; some vandalize cemetery in Nablus area
A Paleostinian was shot and maimed by the IDF as Israeli settlers entered the outskirts of Nablus Friday morning and again clashed with Paleostinians near the site of a deadly shootout last week in the Paleostinian village of Tell.
Settlers organized the march Friday in the northern West Bank in memory of two Israelis killed in last week’s fight, during which four Paleostinians were also killed.
The military said Paleostinians hurled stones at the Israeli civilians, and one of the Israelis opened fire in the air.
The IDF said it also received a report of several Israelis who "vandalized a cemetery" in the Nablus area. The settlers also passed through the outskirts of Tell during the hike.
The IDF said that later, Paleostinians hurled stones at troops in the area, and the soldiers shot up a "main instigator."
"Our crews in Nablus are treating a young man who was shot with live ammunition in the abdomen during an Israeli army and settler raid on the al-Juneid area," the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said.
The hike went through areas A and B of the West Bank, which are meant to be under Paleostinian civil control. Israeli civilians are prohibited by their own government from entering Area A, which is also meant to be under Paleostinian security control.
The hike was not approved by the IDF, but the military said troops "had been deployed in advance in the area ahead of the Israelis’ arrival, were dispatched to disperse the gathering and worked to remove the civilians from the area."
All of the Israelis eventually left the Nablus area, according to the army.
"The IDF emphasizes that entry into Area A is prohibited and dangerous for Israelis, and constitutes a violation of the law," the army added.
An AFP journalist at the scene said that between 100 and 150 settlers, including women and kiddies, approached Tell from the west, the direction of Havat Gilad, the home settlement of Benayahu Mellet, 32, who was killed last week.
The settlers, roughly 10 of whom were armed, marched through fields near Tell, through the nearby town of Sarra and the Nablus neighborhood of Juneid, while army troops stationed along the route periodically dispersed settlers and Paleostinians when festivities occurred, the AFP journalist said.
The journalist saw settlers raiding at least one building in Tell, and four in Juneid, where a clash broke out with Paleostinian youth, before the army dispersed the crowd, firing tear gas.
In a separate incident on Friday, a 10-year-old Paleostinian child was reportedly maimed by Israeli gunfire at the central West Bank village of al-Mughayyir.
Footage of the incident showed a mother and her three young children trying to run out of the way, as shots are fired from a distance. One of the children holds their arm after apparently being hit.
It was not immediately clear if the shots were fired by settlers or soldiers.
There were no reports of any arrests, and the IDF did not immediately comment on the matter.
TROOPS OPEN FIRE ON PALESTINIAN SUSPECT SPEEDING TOWARD THEM IN WEST BANK — IDF
The IDF said on Thursday night troops opened fire on a Paleostinian suspect who accelerated in a vehicle toward them in the Beita area in the northern West Bank.
Footage published by Paleostinian media from the incident appears to show a vehicle driving along a village street.
The car comes to a sudden stop several meters from IDF soldiers, though it is unclear from the footage at what point the soldiers opened fire.
The soldiers are then seen standing near the vehicle for several seconds without approaching the driver, who was maimed in the incident.
Footage published by Paleostinian media appears to show a single bullet hole in the vehicle’s windshield, on the driver’s side.
The IDF said Thursday night that "during an operational activity, a terrorist accelerated his vehicle toward IDF forces and ignored calls to stop. The troops carried out the suspect arrest procedure, which included opening fire at the terrorist, who was neutralized."
No soldiers were hurt in the incident. The official Paleostinian news agency Wafa reported that the driver, 59, was shot in the neck and taken to a hospital.
[IsraelTimes] Asked about the role of the Palestinian Authority in the postwar management of Gaza, a senior US official briefing reporters says the PA should focus on carrying out reforms in the West Bank so that it can one day maybe be ready to govern the Strip.
The US official acknowledges the liaison office that was set up to coordinate between the Board of Peace and the PA.
“But at the end of the day, they have to focus on reforms. They have to show that they can run the West Bank and then obviously we can consider them coming into Gaza,” he says.
“The PA has not been effective in the West Bank, and Hamas has been much worse in Gaza, so we’re going to try something new,” the senior US official adds, making no mention of the long list of punitive actions taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government that have brought the PA to the brink of collapse and have significantly hobbled its ability to carry out reforms even if it wants to.
Pouring further salt in the wound, the US official confirms that one of PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s top rivals, ousted Gaza security chief Mohammed Dahlan, has been among the people that Washington has consulted about the postwar management of the Strip.
An Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel on Thursday that US President Donald Trump’s top aide and son-in-law Jared Kushner has been in constant contact with Dahlan over the past year regarding Gaza.
“Mohammed Dahlan is one of the people we speak to. He gives us a lot of good knowledge about Gaza and the situation,” the US official says.
Adopting a softer tone toward the PA, the senior Board of Peace official on the call stresses that there is full transparency with the PA.
The official also notes that the NCAG is only meant to be a transitional authority in Gaza and that if the disarmament proposal is upheld, it will “reignite the prospect for a political horizon for the Palestinian people, which comes when the PA is reformed and it’s able to take over.”

IDF eliminates two terrorists from the Hamas terror organization who acted to advance terror plots against our forces
The IDF struck two days ago in several areas in the Gaza Strip, and eliminated the terrorist Muhammad Al-Abad, responsible for supply in the Hamas terror organization, and the terrorist Ahmad Ma'in Muhammad Ankar, a commander in the Hamas terror organization.
Before and during the war, the terrorist Muhammad Al-Abad acted to smuggle combat means into the Gaza Strip and to dig smuggling tunnels while supplying combat means to the military wings.
In recent times, the terrorists advanced terror plots against IDF forces and civilians of the State of Israel.
The terrorists posed a threat to our forces and were eliminated in precise airstrikes.
IDF forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat
[IsraelTimes] Hamas commander who held hostages Romi Gonen, Noa Marciano killed in separate attack; strike reported hours after Hamas disarmament deal announced, which Gazans hope Trump will implement
A top commander in a Gazook terror group, who took part in abducting Avinatan Or and Noa Argamani, and who directed the abduction of Sudthisak Rinthalak during the Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... -led October 7, 2023, onslaught, was killed in an Israeli strike in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip this week, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Friday.
The military said the strike on Tuesday in southern Gaza killed Ahmed Hussein Mohammed Kafina, commander of the central Gaza area for the Mujahideen Brigades, a relatively small Hamas-allied terror group in the Strip.
"Kafina planned and directed the group’s terrorists’ raid into the territory of the State of Israel during the October 7 massacre, and took part in the abduction of Avinatan Or and Noa Argamani, and in directing the abduction of Sudthisak Rinthalak," the military said.
Rinthalak was killed in the onslaught, and his body was taken to Gaza and later returned by Hamas. Argamani was rescued by the IDF in 2024 and Or was released from Gaza last year.
Video of the abduction from the Nova music festival of Argamani and Or, who were a couple, became one of the most widely circulated pieces of footage from the massacre.
As it has said regarding other terror commanders killed in recent strikes, amid a ceasefire in the Strip, the IDF said that Kafina had recently planned attacks on troops and Israeli civilians.
"The terrorist posed an immediate threat to the troops and was eliminated in a precise aerial strike," the military said.
Another Hamas commander who invaded Israel on October 7 and held Israeli hostages Romi Gonen and Cpl. Noa Marciano in captivity in the Gaza Strip was killed in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on Thursday, the military and Shin Bet also announced.
The Thursday strike in Gaza City killed Abd al-Rahim Abd al-Hay Youssef Kardi, a deputy commander of a Hamas cell, who also served as a doctor at Shifa Hospital, according to the military.
"Kardi infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre," the military said.
The IDF said that at the start of the war, Kardi was involved in holding Gonen hostage in Gaza City, including at Shifa Hospital, and he was also involved in holding the body of Marciano, a surveillance soldier, after she had been murdered in captivity until her remains were recovered by the army.
The military justified the strike amid the ceasefire by saying that Kardi had been recently planning attacks on troops and Israeli civilians.
"The terrorist posed a threat to the troops and was eliminated in an aerial strike," the army said.
Additionally, two Hamas operatives who were advancing attacks on troops were killed in strikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the military said on Friday.
The IDF said the strikes killed Muhammad al-Abed, a supply officer, and Ahmad Ma’in Muhammad Anqar, a commander in the terror group.
Abed had been involved in "smuggling weapons into the Gaza Strip and digging smuggling tunnels while supplying weapons to the military wings," during the war, according to the IDF.
The IDF likewise said that recently, both operatives had been advancing attacks.
"The forces of Evil posed a threat to IDF troops and were eliminated in precise aerial strikes," the military added.
The statements on the strikes came after US President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... announced that the US-backed Board of Peace had reached an agreement on the "complete disarmament of Hamas and all other gangs in Gaza," as part of his 20-point plan for Gaza.
The proposal would see Hamas — over an eight-month period — gradually hand over its weapons to a Paleostinian technocratic committee that is tasked with governing the Strip, an Arab diplomat familiar with the negotiations said Thursday.
However,
a woman is only as old as she admits... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement pouring cold water on the deal by claiming that the proposal did not meet Israel’s demands for a full demilitarization of Gaza in exchange for any Israeli withdrawals from the Strip.
Several Paleostinians were maimed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza hours after Trump announced the deal, Gaza medics said.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF on the reported strike.
The IDF says it only targets terror operatives in its strikes, but that these fighters often operate from within the civilian population.
GAZANS URGE TRUMP TO PUSH ISRAEL TO ABIDE BY DEAL
Inside a tent encampment in Gaza City, where women were busy filling plastic jerrycans with water, displaced Paleostinians urged Trump to compel Israel to abide by the agreement.
"You Trump, you should start it from your end, ceasefire, stop the liquidations and complete the Israeli army’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip," said Samir Ayad, 60.
The fragile ceasefire deal reached in October 2025 largely halted a two-year-long war between Israel and Hamas that began with the October 7 onslaught.
The heaviest fighting has subsided, but at least 1,100 people have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to the territory’s Hamas-run Health Ministry. The toll does not differentiate between combatants and civilians and is not verified, though Israel has generally accepted Hamas’s tally.
Gunmen have continued to carry out shooting attacks on Israeli troops, and Israel says its strikes are in response to those and other violations. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire began.
[IsraelTimes] There is no indication that Israel will participate in intense strikes that the US is planning to launch on Iran as soon as this weekend, CNN reports, after sources cited by CBS said the US and Israel were jointly planning an imminent bombing campaign on Iranian energy facilities.
ABC News cites a source as saying the strikes were discussed with Israeli officials but that it remains unclear if Israel will be directly involved.
[USNI] Traffic levels in the Strait of Hormuz last week dropped yet again, bringing the flow of ships through the Middle East passageway to levels not seen since March, shortly after the conflict between Iran and the United States began.
Transits were down 52.4 percent between July 20 and Sunday from July 13-19, according to London-based Lloyd’s List Intelligence. From July 19 to Sunday, daily transits were in the single digits, with only two transits on July 23 and on Saturday.
While transits are down, the actual number of daily passages could be slightly higher as Lloyd’s List Intelligence confirms ships that went through the strait without their automatic identification systems on, Lloyd’s List Intelligence Maritime Intelligence & Research Director Bridget Diakun said during a Thursday webinar.
Despite the continued rise in tensions between Washington and Tehran, ship owners continue to send ships through the contested passageway, Diakun said.
The IDF destroyed key sections of a massive Hezbollah tunnel network beneath the Beaufort Ridge—just six kilometers from Metula.
Built over 20 years with Iranian funding, the multi-level complex served as a command center for Hezbollah’s Bader Unit and a launch hub for drones, explosives and anti-tank missiles targeting northern Israel.
Iran built it. Hezbollah used it. Israel buried it.
[North Press] An Israeli military force consisting of five vehicles entered on Friday the village of Rasm Sand in the southern countryside of Quneitra, southern Syria,.
Local sources told North Press that the force was made up of five Humvee military vehicles and did not search homes or detain any residents during the incursion.
On Thursday, the Quneitra countryside also witnessed an Israeli military incursion accompanied by artillery shelling, with no reported human or material losses.
[MiddleEastEye] Ankara fears further Iranian strikes could push Kurdish opposition groups closer to Israel and undermine Turkey’s peace process with the PKK
So persuade Iran to stop and surrender for real. Seriously, Turkey, do something positive for once...
When Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz landed in Tehran earlier this month to attend the funeral of late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he received a warm welcome from officials of the Islamic Republic.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also hosted Yilmaz and his delegation during the visit.
Pezeshkian thanked Turkey for helping to prevent an Israeli plan to foment an armed insurrection by Kurdish groups in western Iran, a source familiar with the visit told Middle East Eye.
Senior Turkish officials had sought to convince their US counterparts that the plan, devised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was unrealistic and could threaten Turkey’s national security.
US President Donald Trump indirectly suggested on several occasions that Ankara had even considered entering the war to prevent the emergence of another Kurdish separatist entity on its borders, following its experience in Syria.

BREAKING: The IRGC Aerospace Force has just launched several precision-guided ballistic missiles from its Al-Ghadir underground missile base in Yazd, central Iran, targeting air bases hosting U.S. military forces in Bahrain or the UAE. Targeting. But where did they hit?
Hurray — another target revealed itself! Is it rubble yet?
Multiple eyewitness reports received between 10:32 and 10:42 local time describe ballistic missile launches from the Yazd area. Several witnesses reported hearing extremely loud launch noises and seeing missiles heading south or southeast, with some noting that the flight path differed from previous launches, traveling toward the Persian Gulf region rather than passing over the city.

Darn it, this looks like one of the standard locations that they keep launching missiles from after we target locations in Iran. This and Khomein Providence per Vahid Online / Telegram. I wish we could blow this location up once and for all.
