What happened on day 567 of the war?

Captain Ido Voloch, an officer in the Armored Corps, was killed in battle while fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF announced on Saturday.

Additionally, Sergeant Neta Yitzhak Kahane, an officer in the Border Police, was killed in battle while fighting in the Gaza Strip, the Israel Police announced.

Cpt. Ido Voloch, 21, from Jerusalem, served as an armored corps officer and platoon commander in the 46th Battalion of the 401st Brigade.

BBC Arabic journalist Samer Elzaenen has called for Jews to be burned “as Hitler did,” The Telegraph quoted him as saying in a Saturday report.

Elzaenen, 33, who has been reporting from Gaza, has been posting a series of statements on social media that condemns Jewish people, and has also called for violence against them, the Telegraph added, noting that his social media activity in the past 10 years has endorsed and celebrated more than 30 attacks on Israeli Jewish civilians.

He has appeared on the Arabic-language branch of the UK public broadcaster more than a dozen times since Hamas's terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. He called the Hamas terrorists who entered Israel that day "resistance fighters."

Hamas published a teaser video on Saturday showing terrorists digging through a destroyed tunnel to 'rescue' an unidentifiable Israeli hostage covered in dirt.

Hamas said in the video that the tunnel was destroyed as part of an Israeli air strike.

The Hostages Families Forum has requested that no parts of the video, including clips or photos, be published until the families give explicit permission.

This is a developing story.

Hamas has expressed its willingness to reach an agreement to end the war in Gaza, which includes a one-time release of all remaining hostages in exchange for a five-year ceasefire, an official in the terrorist organization told AFP on Saturday.

The source noted that "Hamas is ready for a one-time prisoner exchange in exchange for a five-year cessation of hostilities," as a delegation from the organization departed for Cairo for meetings with Egyptian officials.

A Hamas delegation, led by Khalil al-Hayya, is expected to present the organization's vision for ending the fighting to Egypt on Saturday. Taher al-Nono, another senior Hamas official, made it clear earlier that the organization's weapons are "not open to negotiation" in the talks.

The body of an invading terrorist killed on October 7 was found with condoms and three grenades in their pockets, a reservist tasked with collecting the fingerprints of those killed during the invasion told N12 on Thursday.

The reservist, Shlomo Efrati, explained that they quickly realized that the body of a terrorist had been sent to them when they were cataloguing the massacre’s victims to later identify them. 

“As soon as we opened the bag, we realized that it was an Arab body: flip-flops and a long nail on his little finger, a ring with a black stone and a Quran in his pocket," Efrati told N12. A bomb disposal unit was called to the scene after they discovered three grenades in the terrorist’s pockets alongside a pack of condoms. 

Syria has responded in writing to a list of US conditions for possible partial sanctions relief, saying it had acted on most of them but others required "mutual understandings" with Washington, according to a copy of the letter seen by Reuters.

On Palestinian terrorists in Syria, it said Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa had formed a committee "to monitor the activities of Palestinian factions," and that armed factions outside state control will not be permitted. It was sent just days before Syria detained two Palestinian officials from the Islamic Jihad militant group.

Former hostage Ron Krivoi opened up to N12, now over a year since he was released in the November deal, about the abuse he experienced and witnessed while in Hamas captivity in hopes that his testimony will help Matan Angrest, who remains captive in Gaza. 

The 27-year-old Russian-Israeli shared on Friday details of his brief, four-day escape from his terrorist abductors in Gaza. After the residential building he was staying in was shelled, Krivoi fled to nearby fields, until he was discovered by Palestinian civilians who attacked him.

"When I was alone outside, no one saw me, and then when someone saw me - it didn't end well,” he recalled to N12. “People there, when they caught me, beat me up. It's not something simple, I experienced something there... When they caught me and brought me back, those people who beat me were ordinary Gazans, who took out all their frustration on me."

A Hamas delegation will arrive in Cairo on Saturday for negotiations on a future hostage-Gaza ceasefire deal, AFP reported.

"While discussions on this matter can continue, the overarching position is that we will not allow Syria to become a source of threat to any party, including Israel," it said.
