Israeli military kills Hamas terrorists, finds 'significant' weapons and assets inside UNRWA headquarters
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says that it recently launched raids on Hamas facilities in Gaza, killing 120 terrorists, while discovering a “significant” amount of assets and weapons, including inside a United Nations-affiliated building.
In a joint statement made with the Israel Security Agency (ISA), the Israeli military announced Saturday that the raids were conducted in northern Gaza over the past two weeks.
“The forces operated in the areas of Shati and Tel al-Hawa in northern Gaza,” the joint statement read. “Approximately 120 Hamas terrorists were killed, and 20 terrorist infrastructure sites were destroyed as part of the operation.”

The IDF explained that the ISA initially led them to a tunnel shaft near a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

“The shaft led to an underground terror tunnel that served as a significant asset of Hamas’ military intelligence and passed under the building that serves as UNRWA’s main headquarters in the Gaza Strip,” the IDF explained.
The Israeli military said that it seized a “wide variety of intelligence assets” while raiding the 700-meter-long tunnel, but did not specify what exactly was found.
“The newly-found intelligence will allow the forces to operate against additional Hamas targets,” the IDF said. “The dismantling of the tunnel weakens Hamas’ intelligence capabilities.”
That discovery ultimately brought the military to the UNRWA’s headquarters, where Israeli forces found that the UNRWA building supplied the Hamas tunnel with electricity.

“Following these findings and based on preliminary ISA intelligence, the forces conducted a targeted raid on UNRWA’s central headquarters, which contains offices for various humanitarian and international organizations,” the statement read. “Large quantities of weapons were found inside the rooms of the building, including rifles, ammunition, grenades and explosives.
“Intelligence and documents discovered in the offices of UNRWA officials confirmed that the offices had in fact also been used by Hamas terrorists.”
On Saturday, UNRWA Commissioner-General Phillippe Lazzarini said on X that his organization, “did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza.”
“UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area,” he wrote on X. “We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.”

Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant recently told Fox News Digital that “dozens” of UNRWA employees took part in the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that launched the Israel-Hamas war.
“I think the world needs to wake up and address this issue in a different way, while also addressing Gaza’s needs,” Gallant told Fox News Digital. “UNRWA is a group of terrorists who receive salaries from many countries – these countries gave money to people who raped, murdered and took people into captivity.”

Spearfisherman killed by suspected 15-foot shark after third fatal attack in less than a month
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A fisherman was killed late Saturday morning after an attack by a suspected nearly 15-foot shark off the coast of Western Australia.
The unidentified 35-year-old was spearfishing near Michaelmas Island, a protected sand cay on the Great Barrier Reef not far from the city of Albany.
The island is around 240 miles south of Perth, the state’s capital.
His was the third fatal shark attack in the country in less than a month.

The man was brought by boat to shore, but paramedics weren’t able to revive him.
On May 24, 39-year-old Michael Jensz was killed after suffering head injuries while spearfishing along the Great Barrier Reef off the country’s northeast coast.
A bull shark is suspected in his death.
On May 16, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni was killed by a white shark at Rottnest Island, a popular resort in Western Australia. He was also spearfishing.
In January, a 12-year-old also died a week after he was attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbor.
A bull shark is suspected in a man’s death in Western Australia.
Australia usually averages around three shark deaths per year.
“We do see an increase in larger sharks this time of the year, particularly chasing the sardine and the salmon along the coast, which is quite normal,” commercial fisherman Gregory Sharp told the Australian Broadcasting Company Saturday.
He added that sharks also tend to attack in areas “where there’s a lot of seals, and the island area in King George Sound is renowned for seals.”

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said in a Facebook post Saturday that he was deeply saddened to hear of this morning’s fatal shark attack in Albany.
This is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends, as well as the first responders.”

On June 6, 1944, during World War II, nearly 160,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy, France, on what is known as ‘D-Day’, and they launched ‘Operation Overlord’ to liberate German-occupied Western Europe.

Over 4,400 Allied troops were killed on that single day, and more than half of them were Americans. The exact number of German casualties on D-Day is not known, but it is estimated between 4,000 and 9,000 killed, wounded or missing.
This year commemorates the 82nd anniversary of the Normandy beach landings, with only a handful of war veterans still alive to tell the story. And six of those last veterans have made the journey to France to commemorate the landings at the British Normandy Memorial.
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and the Pentagon’s second-in-command, Elbridge Colby, take part in the international ceremony at Langrune-sur-Mer on Saturday to honour those veterans.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was also present at the ceremony and laid tributes at the American memorial honouring war veterans who took part in the invasion that helped change the course of the war.
Hegseth was joined at the ceremony by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, as well as other military personnel.
Referring to the servicemen who sacrificed their lives, Hegseth stated they “carried the hopes and prayers of a free world.”
“They crossed an ocean to fight for their country on a continent that they’d never seen, to save a people they did not know..()..Alongside the brave forces of Great Britain, Canada, France, Norway, Poland, and our other capable and steadfast allies, the United States military spearheaded a great crusade to shatter the Nazi war machine and liberate the continent,” Hegseth said.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey also paid his respects as he laid a wreath at the foot of the British Normandy Memorial, which lists 22,540 British names on its Roll of Honour.
As the largest seaborne military operation in history, D-Day launched with tens of thousands of troops landing simultaneously across 5 separate beaches in Normandy.
Following more than a year of intense strategic planning, the invasion was delayed by 24 hours due to severe storms, missing its original 5 June target date, which commanders chose to capitalise on rare optimal weather, low tides, and a full moon.
In military terminology, the “D” simply stands for “day”, marking the designated start date of a major operation.
