- 0:22Speaker 1: unexploded munition detonated. 14-year-old Elazar Yarir Wylenski was killed and
- 0:28Speaker 1: 24 others were injured, one critically. According to preliminary IDF
- 0:33Speaker 1: investigations cited by World Israel News, the explosion is believed
- 0:37Speaker 1: to have occurred after a student discovered an unexploded cluster submunition,
- 0:41Speaker 1: possibly fired by Hezbollah, and placed it in his backpack.
- 0:45Speaker 1: The IDF has declared it a mass casualty event. Elazar
- 0:48Speaker 1: was remembered by his family as a boy who loved life,

- 0:56Speaker 1: is providing support to the affected families and students. In Gaza,
- 1:00Speaker 1: the IDF conducted strikes targeting terrorists. Mariv News reports that
- 1:05Speaker 1: the military neutralised three Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives in Khan
- 1:09Speaker 1: Yunis and two Hamas Nakba operatives from the Rafah Brigade
- 1:13Speaker 1: in Rafah. These individuals were reportedly involved in planning terror
- 1:17Speaker 1: attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, and were working to
- 1:20Speaker 1: rebuild the military capabilities of Hamas and PIJ, in violation
- 1:25Speaker 1: of the ceasefire. Closer to home, Security forces apprehended a
- 1:29Speaker 1: 32-year-old West Bank resident in Bnei Brak on Monday. Israel
- 1:33Speaker 1: police announced Tuesday that the man is suspected of past
- 1:36Speaker 1: terrorist attacks against Israelis. He was reportedly filming inside an

- 1:54Speaker 1: reports that a call has been made for a televised
- 1:56Speaker 1: debate between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Isingkot. This
- 2:01Speaker 1: proposal suggests that voters deserve to hear directly from both
- 2:04Speaker 1: leaders on how they intend to lead the country, covering
- 2:08Speaker 1: critical issues like national security, military service, the economy and
- 2:12Speaker 1: coalition building, particularly in the aftermath of the October 7th events.
