The Israel Defense Forces carried out a major airstrike on Tuesday afternoon targeting senior Hamas figure Muhammad Sinwar in the southern region of Gaza. The strike was directed at a subterranean Hamas operations hub believed to be situated beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis. Although the IDF acknowledged hitting the site, it did not confirm whether Sinwar had been killed. The military released video footage that appeared to show damage caused by the strike, including a tunnel entrance near the hospital—though the imagery showed a nearby school instead of the hospital itself.

The IDF announced that Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih, a Hamas terrorist who disguised himself as a journalist and ran a news outlet, was killed early Tuesday in a targeted strike inside the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis.
Aslih, affiliated with the Hamas Khan Yunis brigade, was one of the infiltrators involved in the October 7 massacre. He not only took part in the atrocities but also filmed scenes of looting, arson, and murder, later posting the horrifying footage online.
According to the IDF, extensive measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties before executing the strike. These included careful intelligence gathering, continuous aerial monitoring, and the use of highly accurate weaponry.

While visiting Ichilov Hospital, Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East, presented a profoundly meaningful gift to Edan Alexander, a survivor of Hamas captivity. Witkoff gave Edan a Magein Dovid necklace that once belonged to his son, Andrew, who passed away at the age of 22 — the same age as Edan. Witkoff explained that he had worn the necklace close to his heart for over two decades and now felt moved to pass it on to Edan.
Later in the day, more information came to light regarding the harrowing treatment Alexander suffered while being held by Hamas. Reports described how he was forced to keep his head covered with a sack and was brutally beaten during the early stages of his captivity.

On President Donald Trump’s first major international trip of his second term, he was welcomed with the sweet smell of home: greasy fries. Saudi Arabia had rolled out a custom mobile McDonald’s for his latest visit in an attempt to impress the president during his Tuesday jaunt to Riyadh, the Daily Beast reports.
It’s well-known that Trump loves the Golden Arches—he often served fast food at White House banquets during his first term and he handed out McDonald’s to drive-thru customers during a campaign photo shoot.
Trump was greeted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the airport and by a shiny, double-staircase McDonald’s trailer outside the nearest media hub. If he gets hUngry during the day’s trade talks, he’ll be able to fuel up fast.

The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, hoped that issuing arrest warrants for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant would cause the West to turn against Israel, a senior Western diplomat with firsthand knowledge of the ICC case told the Jerusalem Post. The diplomat said that in a conversation he had with Khan last year, he said:  “You just wait and see. If I apply for warrants against Netanyahu, this would give countries like Germany and Canada the excuse they need to turn against the Israeli government.” “I remember thinking to myself first: How naive can you be?” “But secondly, I thought: That’s not the job.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will ease sanctions on Syria and move to normalize relations with its new government to give the country “a chance at peace.” Trump made the announcement shortly before he was set to meet Wednesday in Saudi Arabia with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, the onetime insurgent who last year led the overthrow of longtime leader Bashar Assad. Trump said the effort at rapprochement came at the urging of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi de facto ruler, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “There is a new government that will hopefully succeed,” Trump said of Syria, adding, “I say, good luck, Syria.

Pete Rose has finally been granted a measure of redemption by Major League Baseball — and he’s not alone in that honor.
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Tuesday that Rose, who was placed on MLB’s permanently ineligible list back in August 1989 due to betting on baseball, has been officially reinstated. Joining him in this posthumous reinstatement is none other than “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, according to a report by ESPN.

Following rocket fire from the northern Gaza Strip at the Sderot and Ashkelon a short time ago, the IDF has issued a final evacuation warning for Palestinians area.

Ilan Segev, a former Shin Bet official, spoke on Tuesday about the release of Eden Alexander and Israel’s goal of returning the 58 remaining hostages. “Edan has returned home, and that’s important, but the road to returning all 58 hostages who remain in Gaza is still long,” he said in an interview with Kan Moreshet. Segev emphasized that while every release of a hostage is significant, it’s important to understand the complexity of the situation in Gaza. “To locate the hostages, we need to understand the tunnel infrastructure in Gaza. This is not a matter of days, but of years.
