Israel has refuted reports claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received an advance warning from Egypt about the recent Hamas attack. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office dismissed the claims on social media, labeling them as "fake news." In response to the Hamas attack, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's retaliation had just begun and warned of tough times ahead for Hamas. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a complete siege on the Gaza Strip, imposing severe restrictions, and the Israeli military continued airstrikes targeting Hamas-affiliated sites in Gaza.
