What did the Israeli army say?
The Israeli army says that it conducted a targeted attack using a drone against a suspected Hamas leader in Beit Lahiya in the northern part of Gaza. This is the first time that the Israeli army had announced a targeted attack after August 3.
What is the controversy with the peace deal?
The review of targeted attacks became more pronounced after US President Donald Trump declared the signing of an agreement that will facilitate peace-making efforts in Gaza, as well as stop attacks. Although Hamas has agreed to disarmament, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined the deal with the requirement of total disarmament. Representatives of the Board of Peace called on Israel to stop attacks. Four wounded persons were taken to Shifa and Nasser hospitals in Gaza, and according to the Health Ministry, there have been 45 fatalities since August 1.
Was there criticism from Turkey regarding Colombia's decision?
At the same time, Turkey harshly criticized the Colombian government's decision to recognize the Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights, considering this action an attempt to make the Israeli occupation legitimate. The above happened just after conservative Abelardo de la Espriella's inauguration as president of Colombia on Friday.
The Golan Heights were occupied by Israel during the 1967 Middle East War and annexed in 1981. In his first term, US President Donald Trump recognized the sovereignty of Israel over the region, being the first country to do so and turning its back on its former policy. The United Nations views the area as part of Syria.
