Israel-Gaza updates: Hostage speaks 1st time since release
Noa Argamani is one of the four hostages rescued in a deadly IDF raid on June 8.
As the Israel-Hamas war continues, negotiations have stalled to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist organization, and Israeli forces continue to launch incursions in the southern Gazan town of Rafah ahead of a possible large-scale invasion.

Israel's top court rules state must draft ultra-Orthodox into IDF
Israel’s top court has ruled the state must draft the ultra-Orthodox into the Israel Defense Forces.
The move is a blow to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said, "Draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox are illegal. The defense minister must uphold the law and issue conscription orders to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox youth who have so far evaded military service."
