Eight Israeli Defense Forces soldiers were killed in an "incident" in southern Gaza, according to the IDF.

Earlier Saturday, Hamas released a statement saying an operation targeting Israeli military vehicles in Rafah killed several IDF soldiers. The IDF has not commented on the nature of the soldiers' deaths.

Andrey Kozlov, one of the four Israeli hostages rescued from Gaza on Saturday, is urging Israelis to gather Saturday at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv in support of the hostages and their families.

"I'm already in Israel at home. But a lot of hostages are still there in Gaza," Kozlov, 27, said in a video message. "I saw a lot of rallies on Saturday, and it gave me a lot of hope."

Kozlov’s girlfriend told ABC News this week that Kozlov was psychologically tortured while in captivity, and she said that he told her the moment he realized the Israeli soldiers were there to save him, he felt he was reborn.

The situation on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon remains tense.

Two women were killed and 20 people were injured in the village of Janata in southern Lebanon after an airstrike on a house late Thursday night, the Lebanese Civil Defense said in a statement.

Since Friday morning, at least 50 projectiles were launched from Lebanon toward Israel, the Israeli Defense Forces said.

"A number of the projectiles were intercepted," the IDF said.

"As a result of the launches, a fire broke out in the area of Kfar Szold," the IDF added.

Hezbollah issued statements taking responsibility for nine attacks on Israeli sites Friday.

Israeli forces returned to Jenin, in the West Bank, on Thursday to conduct what they called a "13-hour counter-terror operation" that left three killed, two detained and multiple injured, according to the local Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

The youngest person killed was 19 and the oldest 70, according to the PRCS report.

Bulldozers were filmed in central Jenin, where UNRWA said there was heavy damage, as well as in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, where the Israeli forces say they conducted a "pressure cooker" procedure on a house where they say two senior terrorists were staying.

Two suspects were killed, according to the IDF statement. The PRCS reports three killed and multiple people injured by shrapnel and beating.

The IDF reported two died in the operation.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the U.S. will work with Egypt and Qatar to "bridge final gaps" on cease-fire negotiations that are consistent with President Joe Biden’s May 31 speech and consistent with the U.N. Security Council Resolution.

"Many of the proposed changes are minor and not unanticipated, others differ more substantively from what was outlined in the U.N. Security Council resolution," Sullivan told reporters.

Sullivan said their goal is "to bring this process to a conclusion."

"Our view is that the time for haggling is over, it's time for a cease-fire to begin and for the hostages to come home," he said.
