> Israeli Prime Minister’s Office adviser Dmitry Gendelman said the Israel Defense Forces would not retreat from the so-called Yellow Line in Gaza and would maintain their current positions. He added that Israel would continue targeted killings of militants and would not restore Gaza until Hamas disarms across the enclave and surrenders its weapons for US-supervised destruction.
