PRESIDENT TRUMP: “We have to have borders. We don’t have borders — we have nothing. We have people that are just allowed to walk in from countries unknown… those children are now occupying seats in our schools, taking them away from our citizens. Our veterans are sleeping on the street outside of hotels where illegal immigrants are living inside… The country’s really on a bad course… I’ve never seen it like this.”

The Prime Minister’s Office, this evening (Saturday, 31 August 2024) [translated from Hebrew]: Reports about a general ceasefire in order to administer polio vaccines in Gaza are false. Israel will allow a humanitarian corridor only, through which vaccination personnel may pass; designated safe areas will also be established for administering the vaccines during certain hours. Israel views with importance the prevention of a polio outbreak in the Gaza Strip, including for the purpose of preventing the spread of diseases in the region.

The IDF conducted a series of operations in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the elimination of dozens of terrorists and the destruction of key terror infrastructure. The IDF reported that yesterday, projectiles were launched from the Khan Yunis area towards Kissufim in southern Israel. In response, IDF artillery targeted the launch site, and an Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft struck the structure from which the attacks originated. In addition to these strikes, IDF troops identified and eliminated several terrorist cells that posed a direct threat, particularly in the Rafah area of southern Gaza. Using drone technology, the troops located a terrorist cell, which was promptly neutralized by the IAF. Over the last 24 hours, the IAF struck more than 30 terror targets across Gaza.

In the last few hours, during the IDF, ISA (Shin Bet), and Israel Border Police counterterrorism operation in the northern Samaria area, the forces identified a terrorist cell led by Wassem Hazem, the head of the Hamas terrorist organization in Jenin, in a vehicle in the area. Following the identification, Israel Border Police forces, following precise ISA intelligence, encountered and eliminated Hazem. Hazem was involved in carrying out and directing shooting and bombing attacks, and continuously advanced terrorist activities in the Judea and Samaria area. Shortly afterward, an IDF aircraft eliminated two additional terrorists while they attempted to flee from the vehicle that they were inside with Wassem Hazem.
