- The financial network, led by Qadra, used couriers and money changers in Turkey and Gaza to transfer funds that financed terrorist attacks against Israeli troops and civilians.
- The IDF stated that troops remain deployed in the area under the Southern Command to address any immediate threats in accordance with the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
- The current truce in Gaza, effective since October 10, 2025, paused hostilities that began with Hamas and allied groups' invasion of Israel's northwestern Negev on October 7, 2023.
- Israel insists that any long-term peace deal must include Hamas's disarmament, removal from power in Gaza, and exclusion from governing the Palestinian territories.
