CNN —The Israeli military said Monday it has rescued two hostages during a special operation conducted overnight in Rafah, in southern Gaza. The hostages are 60-year-old Fernando Simon Marman and 70-year-old Louis Har, who were both taken 128 days ago during Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel. The two are in good medical condition and have been transferred for Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer, said the Israel Defense Forces. The joint operation was done with the Israeli Security Agency and Israel Police, it said. At least two mosques and around a dozen homes were targeted in the strikes, the Rafah municipality said on Monday.

Media affiliated to Hamas said explosions and gunfire could be head in the northern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of the truce deadline. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report and there was no immediate comment from Israel or Hamas. Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israel was open to continuing the ceasefire if Hamas committed to further hostage releases. Israel had previously set the release of 10 hostages a day as the minimum it would accept to pause its assault.

A helicopter with Israeli hostages released earlier by Hamas lands at Sheba Medical Centre on the sixth day of the temporary truce after Hamas blamed ‘technical issues’ on the delay as family and friends wait nearby in the early morning hours of November 30, 2023 in Ramat Gan, Israel. Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their cease-fire by at least a further 24 hours just minutes before the fragile truce hit its deadline. Under the terms of the deal between the warring parties, three Palestinian prisoners are exchanged for every one Israeli hostage. Qatar, a key mediator of the arrangement which has also been home to Hamas' political division since 2012, noted the continuation of humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza under the terms of the cease-fire. U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed Wednesday that one of the freed hostages was a dual Israeli-American national.

First the gunmen fired through the door, seriously wounding both Hadar's father, Avida, and her 15-year-old brother, Carmel. Eventually, the militants would rupture the reinforced window with explosives and shoot her mother, Dana, through the gap. That began with a wardrobe being jammed against the other side of their safe room door and set alight. "They also used tires. But we were in survival mode and she was, in all honesty, a superstar," her father said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was rushed to the hospital early Sunday for surgery to implant a heart pacemaker, casting new uncertainty over his government’s deeply contentious plan to pass a law on Monday to limit judicial power. Doctors at the Sheba Medical Center, east of Tel Aviv, said on Sunday morning that the unexpected procedure had been successful and that “the prime minister is doing very well.” But Mr. Netanyahu was expected to remain hospitalized until at least Monday, a spokesman for the hospital said. The government’s weekly cabinet meeting, originally scheduled for Sunday morning, was postponed until Monday, and it was unclear whether a vote in Parliament over the judicial overhaul would proceed on Monday as planned. Mr. Netanyahu’s surgery came amid what many consider to be Israel’s gravest domestic crisis since its founding 75 years ago.

JERUSALEM, July 23 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be fitted with a pacemaker overnight between Saturday and Sunday, he said in a video statement released by his office. That device beeped this evening and said I must receive a pacemaker and that I must do this already tonight," Netanyahu said in the video. Critics fear the judicial changes aim to curb court independence by Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption which he denies.

'WE'RE SCARED, WE'RE ANGRY'Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs a cabinet meeting at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem, Monday, July 17, 2023. Tens of thousands of Israelis opposing the judicial changes marched to Jerusalem over the weekend, carrying flags and beating drums under a scorching summer sun. Washington has urged Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption charges he denies, to seek broad agreements over any judicial reforms. First elected to Israel's top office in 1996, Netanyahu has been both dynamic and polarising. In early October, a few weeks before winning a national election, Netanyahu fell ill during the Jewish fast of Yom Kippur and was briefly hospitalised.

Jerusalem CNN —Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in hospital for medical evaluation but is in a “good condition,” his office said. Netanyahu was admitted Saturday to the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv, according to his office. Israel currently does not have an acting or deputy prime minister, meaning that if Benjamin Netanyahu is incapacitated, the cabinet would have to meet to elect an acting prime minister. Eighteen months later, he was once again sworn in as prime minister in a dramatic return, cobbling together a coalition. He was admitted to hospital where he stayed overnight before being released.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was rushed on Saturday to a hospital to undergo medical tests after experiencing “mild dizziness,” his office said. Mr. Netanyahu, 73, arrived on Saturday afternoon at the Sheba Medical Center, a leading hospital near Tel Aviv, and remained “in good condition and undergoing medical evaluation,” his office said in a statement. A spokesman for Mr. Netanyahu said on Saturday that the prime minister was fully conscious during the journey to the hospital and subsequent tests, and that he was joking with the hospital’s staff and doctors. Mr. Netanyahu had spent the hottest part of Friday beside the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel, where temperatures reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit, his office said in a later announcement. He felt mildly dizzy on Saturday, and went to the medical center on the advice of his personal physician, Dr. Zvi Berkowitz.

Israelul va elimina cerinţa de a purta măşti în aer liber, după ce a avut una dintre cele mai de succes campanii de vaccinare. Măștile de protecție vor rămâne însă obligatorii în spațiile publice închise. În plus, sistemul de învăţământ va relua funcţionarea integrală, astfel că toți elevii vor reveni în băncile școlilor după mai bine de un an. „Nivelul deceselor este foarte scăzut datorită campaniei noastre de vaccinare de succes şi, astfel, putem uşura restricţiile", a declarat dr.

☆ Studiu: Vaccinul Pfizer ar opri transmiterea coronavirusului. Nivelul de anticorpi, mai mare decât după o formă gravă de COVID-19

Un studiu israelian a arătat faptul că este puțin probabil ca cei care primesc vaccinul Pfizer împotriva COVID-19 să transmită mai departe virusul altor persoane, scrie Telegraph, citat de digi24.ro. În ceea ce privește cea de-a doua persoană, nu există încă o explicație însă spitalul investighează situația. Ceilalți 100 de participanți la studiu au dezvoltat niveluri de anticorpi chiar mai mari decât pacienții care s-au recuperat după o formă gravă de COVID-19, se arată în comunicatul transmis de spital. Studiul organizat de israelieni este primul indiciu că un vaccin împotriva COVID-19 ar putea opri transmiterea coronavirusului. „Rezultatele studiului sunt în linia testelor făcute de Pfizer și chiar depășesc așteptările”, a declarat Regev-Yohai.
