Hamas Threatens Oct. 7-Style Attack; US Volunteers Detained in West Bank

Hamas has issued an unprecedented warning, threatening to launch another attack similar to the October 7th assault on Israel. This declaration comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing conflict in the region.

In a separate development, Israeli forces detained approximately 80 international volunteers, including US and British citizens, who were assisting Palestinians with olive harvesting near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. Among those detained was Democratic New York politician Brad Lander. The detentions occurred as reports surfaced of Israel using US-made electroshock weapons on Palestinian detainees, a practice condemned by human rights groups.
