At the same time, negotiations were taking place at a hostage scene in the town of Ofakim, where terrorists had barricaded in a house with civilians.

During the morning hours, IDF forces continued to engage terrorists in various communities around the Gaza strip, including the villages of Yated and Kfar Aza. Fighting is still also reported in Kibbutz Beeri, where a number of terrorists are still active, as well as in Kibbutz Magen. There are apparently still some hostages in these locations.

Davar Pashut – the Aibeshter alein runs the world. No army can protect if it’s been decided. We can’t understand why.
