Tension in the Middle East is escalating: The IDF has attacked military bases in Damascus, Syria, according to local reports. Concurrently, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the Hezbollah terrorist organization to withdraw north of the Litani River in Lebanon. Katz threatened that if Hezbollah does not comply, the current ceasefire will be canceled.
Meanwhile, Mossad chief David Barnea is expected to arrive in Qatar amid ongoing negotiations on a ceasefire and hostage release deal. Netanyahu has denied Hamas claims of submitting names of hostages for release.
