Amid the ongoing 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli army has successfully thwarted an attempt by four terrorists to infiltrate Israel from Lebanese territory, where they were detected planting bombs near the border fences, according to an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) statement. Simultaneously, the IDF has targeted over 200 Hamas-affiliated locations within the Gaza Strip, including a bank and various underground tunnels used for financing terrorism.

Furthermore, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has announced the upcoming visit of U.S. President Joe Biden to Israel.
