Alliance of Brothers humanitarian aid delegation concludes a week of activity in Colombia
Approximately one week has passed since the “Alliance of Brothers” humanitarian delegation departed to assist with search-and-rescue and recovery efforts in Cali, Colombia.
Yesterday, the missions to locate and rescue trapped individuals at the three destruction sites where the delegation operated were completed. All 27 trapped individuals were located and rescued.
As part of the assistance efforts, engineering surveys and assessments were conducted at approximately 100 public and residential buildings throughout the city, alongside training provided to local professionals.
The assessments focused on critical structures in the fields of education, healthcare, and municipal administration, which are essential to restoring the city’s functionality.
The delegation has achieved most of its objectives, and its mission in Colombia is nearing completion. At this time, the engineering team continues its work, while preparations are underway to transfer responsibility to the Colombian authorities and for the delegation’s return to Israel.

Terror rehabilitation attempts in violation of the ceasefire agreement: The IDF and the ISA struck a Hamas weapons manufacturing site and eliminated its commander
Earlier today (Sunday), the IDF and the ISA struck in the Maghazi area in the Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Ismail Abu Ful, a commander at a weapons manufacturing site within Hamas’ production headquarters. The terrorist took an active part in manufacturing explosive devices and anti-tank rockets for Hamas’ military wing and was eliminated to remove the threat.
Additionally, the same manufacturing site, which was established near an aid distribution point operated by an international organization, was struck. This is another example of Hamas’ systematic use of and embedding within civilian infrastructure, including aid distribution centers, to advance and execute terror attacks against IDF troops operating in the Yellow Line area and against Israeli civilians.
These actions demonstrate that the Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates the ceasefire agreement while attempting to rehabilitate its military capabilities and strengthen its force buildup.
Prior to the strike, the IDF issued advance warnings to the population in order to mitigate harm to civilians, in addition to taking further measures to reduce harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
IDF troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
