The planned exchange of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons for Israeli hostages in Hamas has been delayed until at least Friday, according to a senior Israeli official. This delay comes as US Central Command announced that one of its destroyers shot down multiple drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. In the UK, a government adviser has warned against tightening laws on glorifying terrorism in response to pro-Palestine marches, citing potential unintended consequences and strain on limited resources. Meanwhile, the Harvard Law Review has been accused of censorship after refusing to publish an academic article accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah has confirmed that five of its fighters, including the son of a senior lawmaker, were killed in an Israeli strike on the Lebanon-Israel border. According to the Israeli newspaper הארץ, a translation expert working for the newspaper presented the translated version of the article “Before you continue” by Haaretz. The newspaper כלכליסט reported that the Head of the IDF, General Aviv Kochavi, stated that the release of captives will not occur before Friday.

The Supreme Court rejected a petition against the captive deal, and Switzerland announced that it will outlaw Hamas. Additionally, the IDF allowed the publication that Staff Sergeant Eitan Dov Rosenzwig, 21, from Alon Shvut, a soldier in the Givati Brigade, was killed in combat in northern Gaza. The IDF also intensified punishment against thousands of rioters, and approximately 400 tunnels were located and destroyed in the Strip.

The US Ambassador to the UN stated that Hamas hides behind women’s skirts, and the number of Palestinian casualties has risen to 14,532. Mossad chief Dadi Barnea received a list with the names of the captives that Hamas is expected to release tomorrow as part of the first phase of the deal with the terrorist organization. China, France, and Britain welcomed the agreement, calling it “a critical step for continued progress.”

In response to any Israeli provocation in southern Lebanon or Gaza, Hezbollah has promised to respond. The Air Force fighter jet successfully intercepted a missile fired towards Israeli territory, and rocket launch sites, underground tunnels, and numerous combat means were identified and targeted. The number of new disabled individuals since the beginning of the war has reached 140,600.

This breaking news story is a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the complexity of the situation. As the exchange of prisoners and hostages is delayed, the world awaits the outcome of this agreement and the potential implications for the region.
