Dozens of Nukhba terrorists who participated in the massacre on October 7 were arrested yesterday in a refugee camp in western Khan Yunis, this was published this evening (Sunday) here.

According to the report, a total of 60 terrorists were arrested in the operation in question, including many who were involved in the imprisonment and holding of Israeli hostages in the southern Gaza Strip.

The terrorists were taken in for questioning by Iman and Shin Bet personnel, and provided information on the manner in which abductees were moved from place to place within the Strip.

Terrorists even described how they handed over hostages who were under their care to other terrorists - and joined the fighting against IDF forces.

After the operation at the Nassar hospital, the IDF forces in the Gaza Strip are focusing mainly on Hamas infrastructure and working on everything related to the hostage. The security establishment estimates that many of the hostages are being held in the Rafah area alongside senior Hamas officials who are hiding there.

"Hamas tried to evacuate its people using ambulances through the Rafah crossing, " syas Senior American official

In a press briefing, the official said that the Hamas ploy led to a delay in evacuating the wounded and foreign citizens from the Gaza Strip to Egypt.

A senior official in the White House held a press briefing on the night between Friday and Saturday (Israel time) and said that Hamas tried to smuggle its people into Egypt, which delayed the removal of the foreign citizens and the wounded Palestinians out of Gaza.

According to the source, a third of the group that had to go to Egypt were Hamas terrorists, contrary to the agreement, and "this was not acceptable to the Egyptians, nor to us Americans, nor to Israel," according to him.

According to the source, there is an "intensive process" for the release of the hostages in Gaza and according to him it is a "difficult, complex and time-consuming" process.

The official added that "an active process is taking place in various directions, including indirect involvement to find a framework that will lead to the removal of the abductees from Gaza."

By referring to the "framework", the official referred to the release of Nathalie and Yehudit Ra'anan on October 20 and the intention to check whether it would be possible to see similar actions, but emphasized that the release of all the abductees would be "very difficult".

The senior official also said that a significant lull in the fighting would be required to help free the abductees and added that a "very serious and active" dialogue is taking place on the issue, but they have not yet reached an agreement on the issue.

In response to the speech by the Secretary General of Hezbollah, the official said that he does not intend to comment on the content of the speech, but that the US continues to be in regular contact with the Lebanese government so that the war does not spread to Lebanon, which would be a complete disaster for the country.

Tensions Rise in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone
Updates as of October 27, 2023 - 20:00Z

By evening, rumors began circulating online that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had launched a ground operation in Gaza Strip. However, the reality is slightly different: the IDF has been conducting ground operations, specifically raids, in the enclave for the past two days with varying degrees of success.

The intensity of IDF airstrikes has significantly increased, and internet and mobile communications have been completely cut off in the enclave. While this may not mark the start of a full-fledged ground operation, the IDF has the option to claim that they haven't even begun if needed. Nonetheless, all the conditions for a ground operation have been set, but only time will tell if it has indeed commenced.

In response, Palestinian groups, including Hamas and its allies, have also become more active. They are launching attacks on Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, and settlements along the Gaza Strip border.

Regarding the raids, the Israelis faced setbacks. In the morning, Israeli special forces attempted to enter the enclave at Magazi and Breij, but were ambushed by the Palestinians. Additionally, Israeli troops landed on the beach near Rafah, engaged with the Palestinians, and were eventually forced to retreat.

Meanwhile, on the Israeli-Lebanese border, Hezbollah and the IDF continue to exchange blows. The IDF is actively burning the undergrowth in southern Lebanon to hinder the movement of their opponents near the borders.

Journalists from Lebanese publication Al Mayadeen also reported an attack on the Israeli Dahlak military base in Eritrea, but did not provide further details.
