Israeli Defense Minister Katz: “I commend the IDF and Shin Bet for eliminating Ismail Barhoum this evening — the newly appointed Hamas prime minister in Gaza, who succeeded Issam Da’alis, eliminated just days ago.”

Al Jazeera also captured the elimination of Ismail Barhoum, the Gaza leader responsible for the terror group’s finances.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) and Shin Bet confirmed that they conducted a precision strike on the second floor of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The strike eliminated a yet unnamed Hamas decision-maker, who was operating out of the hospital. The strike, carried out in a manner to mitigate collateral damage, followed a lengthy intelligence process to confirm that the Hamas terrorist was operating out of the hospital.

Just like the Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer, USS Gravely (DDG-107) which departed last week from Naval Station Norfolk for a deployment to the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico), to support Homeland Security on the U.S-Mexico Border. On the other side of the United States, USS Spruance (DDG-111), which just returned from a five-month deployment in December, departed today from Naval Base San Diego, for a deployment under U.S. Northern Command’s Joint Task Force-Southern Border (JTF-SB). Also similar to the Gravely, the Spruance will be accompanied by an embedded U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET).

Locals report a number of strikes by the U.S. Navy and/or Air Force against Houthi-controlled Hodeida International Airport alongside several other military sites in and around the city of Hodeida in Western Yemen. Hodeida Airport, which is also operated as a military airfield by the Houthis, has been targeted several times by the U.S. since 2023.

The Israel Defense Force has confirmed that its aircraft carried out a wave of airstrikes earlier against Hezbollah military sites in Lebanon, targeting command centers, infrastructure, terrorists, rocket launchers, and a weapons storage facility south of the Litani River. These strikes, as well as the ones earlier today, were in response to the launch of three rockets today by Hezbollah against Northern Israel.

The Israeli Air Force is reportedly carrying out an extensive wave of airstrikes right now against Hezbollah sites in Southern Lebanon, including targets in city of Tyre, as a response to three rockets that were launched by Hezbollah earlier today from Southern Lebanon and intercepted over the border town of Metula in Northern Israel.

Several airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force have targeted Hezbollah sites in the city of Tyre in Southwestern Lebanon within the last few minutes, resulting in a number casualties and serious damage to multiple buildings within the city.

Former Supreme Court Justice Yoram Danziger says Israel is "close to the moment in which the Attorney General will be forced to rule that the Prime Minister is unfit to serve."

The U.S. Air Force has released a first look of the F-47, Boeing’s new sixth-generation stealth fighter meant to eventually replace the F-22.
