The Gaza war between Israel and Hamas has entered its 83rd day with Iran's Supreme Leader issuing a warning over the killing of a top Iranian military adviser earlier this week in an Israeli airstrike.

After previous denials, Iranian military officials have issued contradicting statements about the "Al Aqsa Flood" operation by Hamas and its supposed links to Iran.

A one-way drone launched toward the Golan Heights on Wednesday marked the first time a suicide drone fell in the Israel-annexed territory since the war started. Pro-Iranian militias in Iraq have since claimed responsibility for the attack.

  • 2 IDF officers fall in central Gaza amid expanded operations
  • Rantisi Hospital is 'just another' stronghold of Hamas: IDF
  • Israel arrests 21 people suspected of involvement in funding Hamas
  • Kerem Shalom crossing shuttered because of UN issues with aid distribution: Israel
  • Egypt's proposed 3-stage truce plan includes freeing women Israeli soldiers
  • Drone alarms sound in multiple Upper Galilee communites: Local media
  • It is in Germany's interests to help protect Red Sea shipping: Israeli ambassador
  • Recent photo of Hamas' military wing chief released
  • Israeli troops faced Hamas ambushes in Khan Yunis: IDF

The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday told Israel to wait for its revenge over the assassination of a top IRGC adviser in an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) airstrike earlier this week.

Amid a surge in rocket and missile launches from Lebanese territory by Iran-backed Hezbollah, cabinet minister Benny Gantz warned that Israel will move to prevent the terror group from targeting Israelis further if Lebanon doesn't act at this point in the fighting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's criticism, saying that the latter was "committing genocide against the Kurds."

Meanwhile, in the Houthi-disrupted Red Sea, some shipping companies have started resuming shipments, albeit on a limited scale than before the Yemeni rebel army started attacking commercial ships in the area.

The war in Gaza that risks a regional spillover draws from the violent Israel-Palestine war that's been dragging civilians into the conflict for decades. Tensions erupted on Oct. 7, when Hamas combatants raided Israel, killing more than a thousand people and abducting over 200 Israelis and foreign nationals – around 129 of whom remain in Hamas captivity in Gaza.

The live update has ended.
