A 57-year-old Argentinian-Israeli man was killed by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on October 7, according to a report from timesofisrael.com. The victim, Rody Skarisevski, was described as a true “patriot” by the source. The attack occurred during a broader escalation of violence in the region, which has seen increased clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militant groups.

Israel has expressed serious concerns about a proposed disarmament deal with Hamas, according to an Israeli official speaking to The Associated Press. The concerns were shared with the White House, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of the agreement earlier this week. The deal has also drawn criticism from Iran, which warned of a “decisive response” to any U.S.-Israel “aggression.”

In response to ongoing attacks, Israeli military strikes killed nine people in Gaza, including two Hamas “Nukhba” commanders. The Israeli government stated that the strikes targeted military operatives and that the situation remains under review. The violence underscores the continued tensions between Israel and Hamas, with no immediate signs of a ceasefire.
