Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: Rabbi missing in UAE found dead, Israel says

The Israel Defense Forces said in a Sunday post to X that it struck "terrorist infrastructure used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons from Syria into Lebanon" near the Jousieh border crossing controlled by Damascus.

"The Jousieh Crossing is under the control of the Syrian regime and is operated by Syrian security forces," the IDF wrote. "The weapons are transferred by Hezbollah's 4400 Unit, which is responsible for the terror organization's weapons smuggling operations from Iran via Syria."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Sunday that authorities located the body of rabbi Zvi Kogan, who had been missing in the United Arab Emirates since Nov. 21.

Kogan, 28, was an Israeli-Moldovan national and managed a kosher grocery store in Dubai.

Netanyahu's office said the rabbi was killed, describing his death as "a criminal anti-Semitic terrorist incident." Israel, the office added, "will act by all means and bring justice to the criminals responsible for his death."

Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed "sorrow and outrage" over the killing.

The UAE's Foreign Ministry confirmed in a statement that Kogan was reported missing. "The relevant authorities in the UAE have initiated the search operations and investigations immediately following the receipt of the report," it said.

The ministry did not note Kogan's Israeli citizenship, describing him as a "missing Moldovan citizen."

Three people have been arrested in the UAE, according to the country's Interior Ministry.

The director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza was injured in an Israeli bombing of the hospital Saturday night, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.

Earlier in the evening, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya reported that a drone had bombed a fuel tank of the hospital, which is located in Beit Lahia.

Staff at the hospital were also injured in an Israeli bombing in the overnight hours into Saturday, leaving a dozen wounded.

The hospital has been subject to continued attacks in the seven weeks since the Israel Defense Forces began its North Gaza operation. Last month, the IDF raided the hospital, arresting nearly all male staff and forcing patients and civilians to leave.

The IDF has not commented on attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital in recent days.

Hamas has released a statement announcing that a female hostage being held in Gaza was killed in recent weeks, and a second hostage was injured.

The statement says Hamas has only just been able to make contact with the fighters holding these hostages after contact was "interrupted for weeks" in northern Gaza. The statement says the life of the injured hostage is "still in danger."

The statement does not elaborate on how the other hostage was killed.

The IDF said in a statement they are "examining the information" but that as of now "cannot confirm or refute" it.

There are only 12 women hostages left in Gaza, three of whom were already confirmed to have been killed. Only one American woman was still being held and has been confirmed dead.
