Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Jordan Valley today (Wednesday), three days after the deadly Allenby Crossing attack, pledging to reinforce Israel’s security along its eastern border with Jordan. Netanyahu emphasized the importance of maintaining this frontier as a "border of peace and security" while also committing to taking stronger action against weapons smuggling into Judea and Samaria.

The IDF has released disturbing footage of the tunnel where six Israeli hostages, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Carmel Gat, and Alex Lubanov, were held captive and executed by Hamas terrorists. The video shows the narrow tunnel, sealed at one end by iron doors, where the hostages were forced to live in inhumane conditions for two to three weeks before their brutal murder.

Early Wednesday morning, an IDF helicopter crashed in Rafah, leaving two soldiers dead and seven others injured, four of them seriously. The helicopter was on a mission to rescue a wounded soldier from the elite Unit 669 when it crashed under circumstances that are still being investigated. However, the IDF has said that the aircraft was not shot down by enemy forces.
