Mass Protests Erupt in Jerusalem Over Government’s

Thousands of protesters gathered in Jerusalem to oppose the government’s reported decision to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and resume full-scale military operations in Gaza.

The demonstrations reflect growing public discontent over national security policies, with critics warning of potential instability. Meanwhile, fresh airstrikes in Gaza have led to casualties, including reports of a foreign national killed and several others injured. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied targeting a UN facility, as claimed by Palestinian sources.

Despite the escalating conflict, Hamas officials stated that negotiations remain an option, leaving room for potential diplomatic efforts. The situation continues to develop, with regional and international stakeholders closely monitoring the unfolding crisis.
