October 7 attack

Israeli strikes over the weekend killed one of the militants who abducted Noa Argamani into Gaza during the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack.

News of the militant's death is drawing attention amid ongoing strikes and stalled ceasefire efforts.

Reports say an Israeli airstrike in Gaza has killed a militant involved in the October 7 abduction of Noa Argamani, one of the hostages seized during the Hamas-led attack.

According to a new report, ten days before Hamas's October 7 attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israeli officials to act to contain and minimize escalation in Gaza.

Israeli security forces say they killed a militant responsible for kidnapping Noa Argamani during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack, in strikes carried out over the weekend.

The strike is being reported across Israeli media as a symbolic closure in the case of one of the hostages most identified with the attack.

The claim of the militant's killing is circulating in Israeli and regional media.

A reported warning from the United Arab Emirates ahead of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel apparently never reached senior Israeli security leadership, according to reporting by The Jerusalem Post.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered officials to 'act to contain, minimize the escalation' in Gaza just days before Hamas's October 7 attack, according to a report aired on Israeli television.

Fresh warnings received ahead of the October 7 Hamas attack have put Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's responsibility for the failures of that day back at the center of Israel's election campaign. Commentators argue the new material reignites debate over whether the government ignored advance intelligence, turning security accountability into a central election issue.

An RFI investigation reports that the head of Egyptian intelligence warned Benjamin Netanyahu that an attack was imminent before October 7.

Israeli historian Ilan Pappé has published an analysis arguing that the October 2023 Al-Aqsa Flood attack was, in his words, "a breakout from the ghetto" by Palestinians who had endured thousands of deaths, tens of thousands of injuries among women and children, and mass home losses, particularly since the 2014 Gaza war. The piece is being widely shared as debate continues over the attack's roots and Israel's response.
