Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has called for the assassination of Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal following Mashaal's call for Palestinians to carry out suicide bombings against Israel. Katz's demand for Mashaal's "death wish" to be "quickly realized" was shared on X, alongside footage of Mashaal's speech in Turkey urging "actual resistance" and suicide attacks against Israel.
The Israeli military has threatened to prosecute soldiers who refuse to return to Gaza amid a manpower shortage exacerbated by ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that at least 20 infantry soldiers have refused to rejoin the fighting, citing exhaustion after months of combat. Official warnings have been issued to ten soldiers, with families criticizing the military for its harsh stance.
