🇮🇱 🇵🇸 ⚡️ — NEW: IDF says it struck a Hamas arms depot in Gaza City after issuing an evacuation warning for a residential building

🔴 IDF says strike on the three‑story residential building in Gaza City targeted a Hamas weapons storage site and came in response to a Thursday attack on troops; military says no uninvolved civilians were present and no injuries reported

🔴 Military also struck a Hamas weapon production site in Khan Younis overnight; IDF framed both strikes as retaliation for the attack on troops and as action against “Hamas terror organization” infrastructure

🇹🇷 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 — NEW: Turkish authorities arrested Mehmet Budak Derya and Veysel Kerimoglu in Istanbul on accusations they spied for Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad.

🔴 Both suspects were placed in pretrial detention; prosecutors say they provided information to Mossad for more than a decade.

🔴 Authorities accuse Derya of supplying technical data — including serial numbers and MAC addresses from SIM cards, modems and routers — and of discussing in January with Mossad handlers plans to establish a front company abroad to infiltrate supply chains.

🔴 The pair allegedly expanded commercial ties from 2013, sold drone components from early 2016, and passed personal/operational data on Palestinians critical of Israel; one target they allegedly approached was Mohamed Zouari; the arrests come amid heightened Turkish counterintelligence activity, including recent detentions over alleged IRGC espionage.
