The Sun gives the very latest update from Israel today, which marks the 42nd day since Hamas terrorists carried out an attack on Israeli civilians on October 7.
Today (18 November) Israel claims it has blown up a bomb factory used by a terrorist group in Gaza.
The IDF released shocking footage showing the enormous explosion tearing through a built-up area in the Strip.
IDF officials said the site was used by the extremist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – a terrorist organisation based in Gaza which is distinct from Hamas.
It comes after the Israeli military said it had located more “Hamas terror tunnels” and had found information about the hostages.
Meanwhile, thousands of demonstrators marched in Jerusalem as they demanded the release of hostages held in Gaza.
Protesters walked for hours along Highway 1 and released yellow balloons.
The five-day march was expected to culminate in a rally in front of the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
About 240 hostages were taken by Hamas terrorists when they stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7.
