    Two people are wounded in a terror stabbing attack in the southern community of Netiv Haasara, near the border with the Gaza Strip.

    The terrorist has been shot.
    The Magen David Adom ambulance service says there are no physical injuries in the stabbing attack outside Netiv Haasara.

    It says medics are treating a woman aged 61 for acute anxiety.

    A Canadian, is responsible for the attack, according to security officials.

    According to authorities, the assailant approached soldiers guarding the community and said, “The IDF is killing civilians in Gaza” and then drew a knife.

    Troops then shot him.

    The stabber is reported to be a Canadian citizen who entered Israel on a tourist visa yesterday.

    An Arab suspect has been arrested over the murder of an Israel Prison Service employee earlier this month.

    According to police and the Shin Bet security agency, the suspect who allegedly murdered 40-year-old dog handler Yochai Avni on July 8, was detained just two days after the attack.

    Avni’s body was found following a fire in his home in the West Bank settlement of Givon Hahadasha, outside Jerusalem.

    His colleagues at the prison where he worked noticed his absence from work and turned up at his home to check on him. When they arrived, they saw smoke emerging from the home and called firefighters to the scene.

    Two days later, on July 10, Ibrahim Mansour, from the West Bank Palestinian town of Bidu, was detained by members of police’s elite Gideonim unit over his alleged involvement in the attack.

    Mansour’s remand has been extended until July 29, as police and the Shin Bet continue the investigation.

    Following numerous rocket attacks on southern Israel in recent weeks from the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the Gaza Strip, the IDF said that it is adjusting the zone to target Hamas.

    The eastern portion of the zone, in the Khan Younis area, is to be evacuated and the IDF says that “remaining in this area has become dangerous.”

    It says that the adjustment to the zone is being carried out “in accordance with precise intelligence indicating that Hamas has embedded terror infrastructure” in the humanitarian zone.

    According to the IDF, the early warning is aimed at mitigating harm to civilians.

    “The IDF is about to forcefully operate against the terror organizations and therefore calls on the remaining population left in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis to temporarily evacuate to the adjusted humanitarian area in al-Mawasi,”.

    The IDF’s calls to civilians are being communicated via SMS messages, phone calls and other media broadcasts.

    Arab media report that Israeli ground forces are beginning to advance on the Abasan area in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, amid a wave of airstrikes.

    This morning, the IDF called on Arabs to evacuate eastern Khan Younis and some areas of the designated humanitarian zone, following repeated rocket attacks on southern Israel.

    The new operation comes three months after the military withdrew from Khan Younis after carrying out an operation against Hamas there for four straight months.

    Meanwhile, two rockets launched from the Gaza Strip struck open areas in southern Israel. Sirens had sounded in the border communities of Nir Itzhak and Sufa.



    Israeli fighter jets and drones struck more than 35 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day.

    The targets included a primed rocket launcher in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, buildings used by terror groups and other infrastructure, according to the military.

    Additionally, the IDF says a drone strike killed a member of Hamas’s Nukhba force who participated in the October 7 onslaught, and was involved in fighting Israeli troops in Gaza.

    The strikes come as troops continue to operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

    Over the past day, the IDF says troops with the 401st Armored Brigade killed dozens of gunmen in the northwestern Tel Sultan neighbourhood of Rafah, in close-quarters combat and by calling in airstrikes.

    Troops with the Givati Brigade also killed several more gunmen during operations in Rafah.

    Meanwhile, in central Gaza, the IDF says reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade killed several more terror operatives.

    Prime Minister Netanyahu before boarding his flight to Washington DC: “It’s important that Israel’s enemies know that America and Israel stand together.”

    The Israeli military releases footage showing gunmen climbing onto trucks carrying humanitarian aid in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip.

    According to the IDF, Hamas operatives frequently try to hijack aid deliveries heading along a designated route.

    In the past week, troops of the Nahal Brigade raided a school adjacent to the “humanitarian route,” where a group of gunmen were holed up. The IDF says the operatives were planning to take control of the route where the aid trucks drive.

    The Nahal troops used drones to kill the gunmen, and later they found a tunnel shaft in the school’s courtyard, the IDF says.

    Additionally, the IDF releases footage of a tunnel that was discovered in the Brazil neighborhood of Rafah, and later demolished.

    The tunnel was several hundred meters long and had multiple levels.
