West Bank: Clashes ongoing in Jenin, between Palestinian Authority's intelligence and Israeli special forces (Yamam units), who attacked one of their headquarters. Two have been martyred and a third is injured.
The Israeli undercover raid on Jenin resulted in 3 casualties. The 3 martyrs belonged to the Palestinian Authority's military intelligence:

- Jamil Amoury. He was suspected of being a PIJ member (that's the reason for the raid).

- Taysir Issa and Adham Eliewi. They defended their headquarters' position.

The Iraqi government agreed to double the amount of crude oil it approves for Lebanon, from 500 thousand to one million tons annually.

The recent UN report from Gaza that an IDF missile revealed a Hamas underground infrastructure under the playground of a school in Gaza is interesting.

If correct, would be unacceptable. However, let's examine the facts.
The claim was allegedly backed up today through images released by Hebrew media channel Kann. When examining the images, we can see a a symmetric hole about 1-3 meters deep. The images show no underground infrastructure, and no cement arcs can be found.
The UN has unrestricted access to the site. They can take any picture. So what caused this cavity?

Simple, the penetrator bunker buster bombs the IDF used. This is how they operate. They penetrate through 6-8 meters of concrete (here we have beach sand) and then explode.
Israel extensively used GBU-28 bombs in Gaza. The GBU-28 is a 5,000-pound laser-guided munition that uses a 4,400-pound penetrating warhead.

It is proved to penetrate over 8 ⁠m of concrete, or 40 ⁠m of ground (sand, in Gaza).
So, aside from the fact that these images published by UNWRA do not show any tunnel infrastructure, but rather simply the penetrated sand by the GBU-28, any existence of tunnel there can not be determined as the GBU-28 explosion would have happened 10+ meters deeper in ground.
