Israelis express growing concerns that the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, may collapse soon. Despite reaching an agreement after 15 months of conflict, fears arise that Hamas could break the terms of the deal, particularly over prisoner releases. Israelis are deeply apprehensive about the future of the ceasefire, with some speculating that Hamas may resume attacks. These concerns persist despite optimism over the release of hostages and humanitarian aid provisions. Tensions remain high, and many Israelis are uncertain if the deal will hold or if further violence will erupt.

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, has released a chilling video titled "No One Will Be Left to Tell the Tale... Time is Running Out," sending a stark warning to Israel. The video highlights the dire consequences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued delay in finalizing a captive exchange and ceasefire agreement. It specifically raises alarms about the lives of Israeli captives held in Gaza, with the brigades making clear that the delay could lead to irreversible harm. The warning comes amidst Israel’s ongoing military aggression in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of numerous Israeli captives over the past year. Israeli media recently reported on a failed rescue mission that tragically resulted in the death of captive Sahar Baruch, 25, while attempting to free another Israeli, Noa Argamani. This incident has intensified concerns about the risk to captives, as public opinion in Israel shifts, with 74% of Israelis now supporting a comprehensive deal to return all captives, even if it means ending the war.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Houthi forces launched a precision missile strike on Tel Aviv, targeting Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The attack, carried out using Thulfiqar ballistic missiles, marks a significant intensification in the ongoing conflict. While Israel’s air defense systems intercepted some of the missiles, the strike still caused damage to key infrastructure. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed the missiles hit their target with high accuracy, evading Israeli interception. This attack is seen as part of the Houthis’ ongoing support for Hamas and their solidarity with Palestinian efforts in Gaza. The missile strike follows a series of Houthi drone and missile assaults on Israel, signaling an even more volatile situation in the region. No major casualties were reported, but the strike adds to the growing tensions as Israel prepares for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
