LIVE: Israel Kills 100 in Gaza as Trump Insists Ceasefire Remains Intact

Kamal Yalwa03 mins

At least 100 Palestinians, including 35 children, have been killed in fresh Israeli air strikes across Gaza, according to medical sources, marking one of the deadliest incidents since the fragile truce took effect earlier this month. The attacks, which hit multiple residential areas, including Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza where displaced families had been sheltering, have left scores wounded. Emergency responders continue to pull victims from the rubble amid warnings of a humanitarian collapse. Images from the scene show injured children being treated in ambulances before being taken to Nasser Hospital. Despite the bloodshed, US President Donald Trump insisted the ceasefire “remains in place,” saying Israel had merely “hit back” after one of its soldiers was “taken out.” Trump told reporters that “nothing is going to jeopardise” the truce, though he added that “Hamas has to behave.” The Israeli military claimed it had “resumed enforcing the ceasefire,” even as witnesses described sustained aerial bombardments in Gaza City and Khan Younis. Meanwhile, tensions are also flaring in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers reportedly torched Palestinian vehicles in two separate attacks — one in the town of Surif near Hebron and another in Atara, north of Ramallah. In Gaza, Palestinian human rights defenders have condemned Israeli demolition work in the enclave’s ruins, accusing private contractors of “profiting from a crime.” Tahseen Elayyan of Al-Haq told Al Jazeera that contractors were being paid over $1,000 a day for demolition operations and even dumping Israeli construction waste onto Gaza’s rubble. “They are feasting on this crime. They are aiding and abetting genocide,” he said. The ongoing violence raises doubts about the sustainability of the US-brokered ceasefire, which was meant to usher in a second phase of the Trump administration’s Gaza plan — including prisoner exchanges and reconstruction efforts under international supervision.

Netanyahu Orders Heavy Strikes On Gaza After Hamas Accused Of Violating Ceasefire

Netanyahu Orders Heavy Strikes On Gaza After Hamas Accused Of Violating Ceasefire

Wale busari03 mins

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to launch intense strikes on the Gaza Strip after accusing Hamas of breaching the US-brokered ceasefire. In a statement from his office on Tuesday, Netanyahu said the order followed security consultations, instructing the military to “immediately carry out powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip.” No further details were provided. The directive came shortly after Hamas announced it was delaying the handover of another hostage’s remains, alleging that Israel had violated the terms of the truce. The group warned that any further Israeli escalation would interfere with efforts to locate and recover more bodies. “We will postpone the handover that was scheduled for today due to the occupation’s violations,” Hamas’s armed wing said, claiming that any aggression would hinder recovery operations. The renewed tension erupted after Hamas on Monday returned what it said was the 16th of 28 hostage bodies agreed to be handed over under the October 10 ceasefire. But Israeli officials later discovered that the remains were partial fragments of Ofir Tzarfati, a hostage whose body had already been recovered from Gaza two years earlier. Netanyahu’s office denounced the act as a “clear violation of the agreement,” accusing Hamas of deliberate deceit. Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian claimed that Hamas staged the handover, saying the group “dug a hole, placed the partial remains of Ofir inside, covered it back up, and handed it to the Red Cross.” She stressed that Israel’s response would be made “in full coordination with US President Donald Trump and his team.” Meanwhile, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum urged the government to act firmly, calling Hamas’s actions a deliberate provocation. “In light of Hamas’s severe breach of the agreement, the Israeli government cannot and must not ignore this,” the group said. “It must act decisively against these violations to protect the integrity of the ceasefire and ensure justice for the hostages.”

LIVE: Palestinians in Gaza Bury ‘Unrecognisable’ Bodies Returned by Israel

Kamal Yalwa02 mins

Palestinians in Gaza are holding mass burials for dozens of bodies returned by Israel as part of a recent exchange involving the remains of Israeli captives. Medical officials say many of the bodies are “unrecognisable” and bear signs of torture and mutilation. The funerals took place outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and in Deir al-Balah, where bulldozers covered rows of shrouded remains in freshly dug mass graves. Medical staff said the condition of the bodies made identification nearly impossible. The return of the bodies comes more than two weeks after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect. Yet, Palestinians continue to endure severe shortages of food, clean water, fuel, and shelter, as Israel maintains restrictions on aid entering Gaza despite a ruling by the International Court of Justice ordering it to allow humanitarian relief. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, about 473,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza since the October 10 truce. Many have found their homes destroyed and basic infrastructure obliterated, with unexploded bombs still littering residential areas. More than 68,500 Palestinians have been killed in the war, which has left vast portions of the enclave in ruins. Rights groups and a UN commission of inquiry have accused Israel of committing genocide—allegations Israel has vehemently denied. Meanwhile, Hamas says it has expanded its search for the remains of Israeli captives, with assistance from the Red Cross and Egyptian authorities.

Trump Thanks Qatar for Mediation Efforts as Gaza Talks Advance

Trump Thanks Qatar for Mediation Efforts as Gaza Talks Advance

Kamal Yalwa04 mins

US President Donald Trump has expressed gratitude to Qatar for its mediation efforts in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations as Washington continues to push for progress on the second phase of the 20-point Gaza plan. Trump met with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani aboard Air Force One during a refuelling stop at Al Udeid Air Base near Doha on Saturday. The meeting took place as the US president travelled to a summit in Malaysia. “We’ve done a lot together, especially in the last year,” Trump said alongside the Qatari leaders. “What we’ve done is incredible – peace to the Middle East – and they were a very big factor in it, so I just want to thank you.” According to a readout shared by the Qatar News Agency, the talks focused on efforts to sustain peace in the region, consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza, and ensure full implementation of the agreement’s provisions. The meeting follows a week of visits by senior Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to Israel. The US delegation aimed to ensure Israel’s compliance with the ceasefire terms and to discuss the details of phase two of the peace plan, which reportedly includes conditions for Hamas’s disarmament and potential deployment of an international security force in Gaza. Despite diplomatic optimism, tensions persist on the ground. Reporting from Doha, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari noted that parts of the initial ceasefire phase remain incomplete, including the handover of Israeli captives’ bodies. Israel has accused Hamas of delays, while Hamas claims that continued bombardments have hindered access to affected areas. In Gaza, medical sources said several Palestinians were shot and wounded by Israeli forces on Saturday. Four others were injured in an airstrike on a car in Nuseirat refugee camp, which Israel claimed targeted a Palestinian Islamic Jihad member. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud described the attack as “a breach of an already fragile ceasefire.” Meanwhile, US officials have maintained a positive tone, suggesting that negotiations are moving forward. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that Washington is exploring a possible United Nations resolution or international agreement to authorise a multinational force in Gaza. He added that discussions with Qatari officials would continue on Sunday. “The message from the Trump administration today is clear,” Jabbari reported. “Qatar remains a central player in the peace process. Without its mediation, this ceasefire might not have been possible — and moving forward, their role will be crucial in ensuring the next stages succeed.”

Trump Warns Hamas Will Be Eradicated if Gaza Truce Is Violated

Kamal Yalwa03 mins

US President Donald Trump has warned that Hamas will be “eradicated” if it breaches the Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel, while expressing cautious optimism that the truce will hold. Speaking during a joint news conference at the White House with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Trump said Hamas would be given “a little chance” to honour the peace deal. “Hamas are going to be very good, they’re going to behave, they’re going to be nice – and if they’re not, we’re going to go in and eradicate them if we have to. They will be eradicated, and they know that,” Trump said. The president clarified that any future military response would not directly involve US troops, but emphasized that Israel would act swiftly if provoked. “Israel would go back in in two minutes if I asked them to … but we’re going to give it a little chance,” he added. Analysis: Netanyahu’s Political Balancing Act Tel Aviv-based analyst and former Associated Press regional editor Dan Perry told Al Jazeera that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is caught between a public weary of war and political allies demanding Hamas’s total destruction. “Netanyahu does not want to go back to war because the Israeli public is sick of the war and he has elections coming up,” Perry said. “But Israelis are also struggling to accept the idea of Hamas remaining across the border, alive to fight another day.” Perry noted that disarming Hamas remains crucial to maintaining regional support for the US-backed peace plan and preventing renewed conflict in Gaza.

Trump Threatens to Kill Hamas Over Gaza Gang Clashes, Demands Immediate Disarmament

Kamal Yalwa05 mins

United States President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, threatening military action if the group continues its crackdown on Gaza-based gangs and alleged Israeli collaborators — a statement that appears to mark a sharp reversal from his earlier stance supporting Hamas’s actions. In a post shared on social media Thursday, Trump wrote: “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Speaking later to reporters, the U.S. president clarified that American troops would not enter Gaza directly but suggested that nearby allies — an apparent reference to Israel — could take action “under U.S. auspices.” “It’s not going to be us. We won’t have to,” Trump said. “There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily.” The comments represent a dramatic about-face for Trump, who earlier in the week appeared to condone Hamas’s violent campaign against Gaza gangs accused of looting aid and collaborating with Israel. “They did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad… and that didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you,” he told reporters on Tuesday. The latest tensions follow deadly clashes between Hamas fighters and armed clans in Gaza, which have left several people dead. Local reports say gang members armed by Israel were behind the killing of prominent Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi earlier this week. In June, Israeli officials admitted to arming certain Gaza gangs, some with ties to ISIL (ISIS), in an attempt to destabilise Hamas’s rule. The Interior Ministry in Gaza has since offered a general amnesty to gang members who did not take part in the fighting. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Hamas’s alleged execution of suspected Israeli collaborators, calling the acts a “heinous crime” and a violation of human rights. Under Trump’s ceasefire plan, Hamas is expected to fully disarm and relinquish control of Gaza’s administration — terms the group has yet to publicly accept. “They will disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them,” Trump warned, “and it’ll happen quickly and perhaps violently.” The truce, brokered earlier this week, has so far held despite continued Israeli violations that have killed several Palestinians. Israel has also delayed reopening the Rafah crossing with Egypt, citing Hamas’s alleged failure to return the bodies of Israeli captives. While Trump has touted the ceasefire as ushering in “a new Middle East,” his latest threats have cast serious doubt on the future stability of the fragile truce — and on Washington’s shifting role in Gaza’s postwar order.

At Least Three Palestinians Killed by Israeli Strikes in Gaza Amid Fragile Ceasefire

Fola Badmus04 mins

At least three Palestinians have been killed in Gaza despite the ongoing ceasefire, according to medical sources who spoke to Al Jazeera on Thursday. The deaths mark yet another violation of the fragile truce between Israel and Hamas, heightening fears of renewed hostilities. The latest attacks occurred as both sides continue to accuse each other of breaching the terms of the ceasefire, which was meant to bring temporary relief to the war-battered enclave. Witnesses reported Israeli strikes in central and southern Gaza, with several civilians among the casualties. An Israeli government agency has meanwhile announced that the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt for the movement of people will remain delayed. The crossing, a critical route for humanitarian aid and evacuation, has been closed for weeks amid ongoing security and logistical disputes. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has instructed the military to prepare what he described as a “comprehensive plan” to defeat Hamas should the ceasefire collapse completely. The directive underscores Tel Aviv’s continued insistence on dismantling the group’s military and political infrastructure. Hamas, for its part, has handed over the remains of two more Israeli captives, according to Palestinian media outlets. The group admitted, however, that locating the bodies of additional captives buried beneath Gaza’s widespread destruction will require specialised equipment and external assistance. The truce, mediated by Egypt and Qatar with support from the United States, remains tenuous as sporadic gunfire, drone strikes, and shelling persist in several areas of Gaza. Humanitarian agencies have warned that the situation could deteriorate rapidly if full-scale hostilities resume. Health officials in Gaza say the death toll continues to rise even during periods of supposed calm, as limited medical access and infrastructure collapse make it increasingly difficult to treat the wounded. The ongoing violence also complicates diplomatic efforts aimed at stabilising the region. Talks to consolidate the ceasefire and ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid have stalled amid mutual distrust and political pressure on both sides. International observers have urged Israel to maintain restraint and allow aid access through Rafah, while calling on Hamas to uphold the truce and release any remaining hostages. For many in Gaza, however, the ceasefire offers little solace. As one resident told Al Jazeera, “Even when they say there is a ceasefire, we still live in fear. The sounds of drones and explosions never really stop.”

El-Sisi, Trump to Co-Chair Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt on Monday

Kamal Yalwa06 mins

By Trend Brio News | October 12, 2025 SHARM EL-SHEIKH, EGYPT — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and U.S. President Donald Trump are set to co-chair an international peace summit in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, bringing together leaders from over 20 countries to discuss a comprehensive plan to end Israel’s devastating war on Gaza. According to a statement from the Egyptian presidency on Saturday, the summit aims “to end the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East, and usher in a new era of regional security and stability.” Among those confirmed to attend are United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, and Spain’s Pedro Sánchez. It remains unclear whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or any representatives from Hamas will take part. The announcement follows the implementation of the first phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which includes the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Palestinians Return to Rubble As the ceasefire holds, tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have begun returning north along the Gaza coast to their homes — or what remains of them. Much of Gaza lies in ruins after two years of war that have killed more than 67,000 people, mostly civilians, and left the enclave on the brink of famine. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, described scenes of resilience amid destruction. “People walk this exhausting journey back because they belong here,” he said. “But spending a night here is going to be very difficult. The struggle to survive continues each hour.” Recovery Efforts Underway Gaza’s Government Media Office said more than 5,000 recovery and relief operations have been conducted since the ceasefire began. Over 850 missions were carried out by civil defence and municipal teams to recover bodies and clear debris, while more than 900 efforts focused on restoring water and sewage infrastructure. Officials in Khan Younis reported that 85 percent of the city has been destroyed, with over 400,000 tonnes of rubble still blocking streets. Aid agencies say the work is being done with minimal resources due to Israel’s continued blockade restricting fuel and equipment imports. Push for Humanitarian Access Aid groups, including the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, have called on Israel to reopen border crossings to allow the delivery of food, medicine, and relief materials. WFP country director Antoine Renard said the agency was ready to reopen 145 food distribution points across Gaza once access is restored. UNICEF also announced plans to scale up food and hygiene supplies for children and families. Prisoner and Hostage Exchange As part of the ceasefire deal, 20 Israeli captives and the bodies of 28 others are set to be handed over on Monday, according to President Trump. In exchange, Israel will release 250 Palestinian prisoners and about 1,700 Gazans detained without charge since the war began. In Tel Aviv, tens of thousands gathered in Hostages Square to mark the expected return of captives. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, daughter Ivanka Trump, and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff — who helped broker the agreement — joined the rally. “I dreamed of this night. It’s been a long journey,” Witkoff said to loud applause. “As you return to your families, know that all of Israel and the world stand ready to welcome you home.” Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported that families of Israeli captives credited Trump and the U.S. team for the deal, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict for political reasons. With the summit in Sharm el-Sheikh set to convene on Monday, global leaders hope the talks can solidify the fragile ceasefire and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.
