The ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of over 47,283 Palestinians, is ongoing for its seventh day. Despite the truce, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that Israel may not fully withdraw its forces from Lebanon by the agreed-upon January 26th deadline. Simultaneously, Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, with the Lebanese National News Agency reporting nearly 660 violations, including destruction of property, firing on civilian areas, and the demolition of a mosque.
The truce in Israel's war on Gaza, which has reportedly killed over 47,283 Palestinians, enters its seventh day, as Netanyahu signals Israel might not complete withdrawal from Lebanon by January 26. Smoke rises from the area as the Israeli army continues its attacks in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on the 4th day.
Israel's United Nations envoy, Danny Danon, has told the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres that the UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA must 'cease its operations in Jerusalem, and evacuate all premises in which it operates in the city' by January 30. The Israeli army has committed 20 more violations of a ceasefire that took effect in late November, bringing total violations to nearly 660. Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) said the violations concentrated in the districts of Bent Jbeil, Marjayoun and Nabatieh, included the destruction of homes, burning of cars, bulldozing of streets, damaging a mosque and opening fire toward Lebanese areas. The Israeli army carried out bulldozing attacks on streets in Aitaroun and set fire to several homes. It also opened fire on homes in the towns of Maroun al Ras and Yaroun. Another Israeli force stormed Qantara, where it set fire to cars and damaged a mosque, the Lebanese broadcaster added. 2017 GMT — US claims Hamas added up to 15,000 fighters since 2023 The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has recruited between 10,000 and 15,000 members since the start of Israel's war in besieged Gaza, according to two congressional sources briefed on US intelligence. The intelligence indicates a similar number of Hamas fighters have been killed during that period, the sources said. The sources briefed on the intelligence, which was included in a series of updates from US intelligence agencies in the final weeks of the Biden administration, said that while Hamas has successfully recruited new members, many are young and untrained and are being used for simple security purposes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that Israel might not withdraw all of its forces from Lebanon by a deadline set in its ceasefire with Hezbollah. Netanyahu said in a statement that the ceasefire 'is based on the understanding that the withdrawal process could possibly continue beyond the 60 days.' The statement went on to say that the Lebanese government hasn't yet 'fully enforced' the agreement, an apparent reference to the deployment of Lebanese troops. The Palestinian medical and rescue teams have recovered the remains of 17 Palestinians from the rubble of destroyed homes in Rafah in southern besieged Gaza, who were killed in the course of the Israeli war. 'The recovered bodies were found in a decomposed state, making the identification process challenging in some cases,' the medical source said.
