09:02โขNetanyahu Advisers Released to House Arrest
โจThe newspapers report extensively on Netanyahu advisers Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein being released to house arrest in the "Qatargate" investigation, despite police requests to extend their detention (Maariv, Mako, n12, now14, Srugim, Ynet). Reports reveal Urich collapsed during questioning, with his lawyer claiming police conducted illegal interrogation techniques while he experienced chest pains (Maariv, n12, Ynet). Simultaneously, coverage continues of the October 7 Nirim kibbutz investigation, with new details suggesting Hamas terrorists killed the brigade commander and delayed the massacre while attempting to kidnap him (Haaretz, Israel Hayom, 13tv, INN, Jerusalem Post, Kan). The IDF is also expanding operations in northern Gaza's Shejaiya neighborhood (times, Davar, i24NEWS).
