“Hamas has backtracked and will carry out an additional phase of releasing hostages this Thursday,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, adding that three hostages would be released that day, with another three captives set for release on Saturday. “We say to Trump and the whole world: we will not leave Palestine or Gaza, no matter what happens,” said displaced Gaza resident Rashad al-Naji.

Israel Intensifies Attacks in Northern Gaza, Killing at Least 25 PalestiniansIsraeli forces have intensified their attacks in northern Gaza, including in the Shejaia area and outskirts of Gaza City, resulting in at least 25 Palestinian deaths. The air strikes destroyed targeted areas, but there was no immediate statement from the Israeli military regarding the incident or the identities of the victims. Meanwhile, in al-Buriej, central Gaza, Israeli forces targeted a fighter alleged to be operating in an area that launched rockets into Israel the previous day. Following a warning from the Israeli military, residents were ordered to evacuate before the attack. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, two people were reported killed in the al-Buriej attack, while 15 more died in an air strike in Jabalia.

Northern Gaza, including Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, and Beit Lahiya, is now nearly completely destroyed after residents were evacuated. There are speculations that the Zionist regime aims to make the area a buffer zone after the conflict ends, although Israel denies these claims.
