The Story in Brief
Israel carried out a targeted drone strike on a man in Beit Lahiya on Wednesday, calling him a Hamas commander. It was the first such attack since August 3, and came as mediators urged a halt to strikes to advance a peace deal. The Israeli military did not confirm if the target was killed. Gaza hospitals reported four injured people, and the Health Ministry says 45 have died since August 1.
Separately, Turkey criticised Colombia for recognising Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, calling it an effort to legitimise occupation. Kuwait said it foiled a terrorist plot by a citizen linked to the Islamic State group against an unnamed facility, detaining him before he could carry out an attack using explosives and drones.
The Indian Opinion
The chorus for a Gaza ceasefire grows even as both sides harden positions. Israel strikes a Hamas commander while rejecting a disarmament plan Hamas accepted. Mediators blame targeted strikes for stalling the deal, but Netanyahu insists on full disarmament first. Neither narrative captures the stubborn gap between them. The real test is whether the next round of talks even happens, and if Colombia’s Golan move shifts other countries.
