IDF claims it captured terror operative in Syria

The Israel Defense Forces wrote on X Sunday that its warplanes "eliminated" Farouk Amin Alasi, who it said was Hezbollah's commander for the Khiam area in the Nabatieh region of southern Lebanon.

Alasi, the IDF said, "was responsible for the execution of many anti-tank missile and rocket attacks toward Israeli communities" in the north of the country.

The IDF also said it killed Yousef Ahmad Nun, who it said was a company commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Force in the Khiam area and also responsible for cross-border rocket and anti-tank missile fire.

The Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday that one soldier was killed and another seriously wounded in the northern Gaza Strip.

A soldier was killed "by a grenade explosion during the night between Friday and Saturday" in northern Gaza, the IDF wrote on X.

On Sunday, a combat engineering officer was "seriously injured" during "a battle in the northern Gaza Strip," the IDF said.

Gen. Michael Kurilla -- the commander of the U.S. Army Central Command, or CENTCOM -- visited Israel this weekend to meet with Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the IDF wrote on X Sunday.

The two commanders "held a situational assessment on security-strategic issues and joint preparations in the region, as part of the response to threats in the Middle East, with an emphasis on Iran," the IDF wrote.

During the visit, Kurilla visited the American THAAD air defense battery deployed to Israel to strengthen its defense against ballistic missiles, the IDF said.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is calling for an investigation after the car of one of the organization's staff members came under fire while she was working on the polio vaccination drive in Jabalia on Saturday. The woman was not injured in the attack.

The organization said the woman's car was believed to have been targeted by a quadcopter drone.

Overall, UNICEF said 50 children have reportedly been killed in Jabalia during the last two days, alone, amid airstrikes targeting residential buildings in North Gaza.

Three children were also reportedly injured in an attack near a clinic participating in the polio vaccination drive on Saturday. The World Health Organization also said it was looking into reports of this attack.

“Taken alongside the horrific level of child deaths in North Gaza from other attacks, these most recent events combine to write yet another dark chapter in one of the darkest periods of this terrible war," UNICEF said in the statement.

The Israeli military has not commented on any of these incidents.
