After months of intense conflict and diplomatic mediation by regional and international actors, the Israeli government formally ratified a ceasefire agreement early this morning, marking the official end of hostilities in Gaza. The decision passed with a cabinet majority, though five far-right ministers—including Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich—voted against it.

A recent report has exposed an Arabic-language religious app that was, in reality, a covert surveillance tool developed by the Zionist regime to infiltrate Palestinian users’ devices and extract sensitive data. This operation relied on social engineering and cultural-religious camouflage, underscoring the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity awareness and tighter scrutiny of suspicious software.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to implement the first phase of a ceasefire proposal brokered by Donald Trump and mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey. This phase includes a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces to designated lines and the release of hostages held by Hamas. The ceasefire is expected to begin today at 12:00 PM local time.

A group of tribal leaders in Hebron has reportedly submitted a proposal to Israeli authorities, seeking to break away from the Palestinian Authority and join the Abraham Accords.

In a large-scale operation, the Israeli regime’s navy intercepted around 40 out of 47 vessels from the international Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza, detaining dozens of activists and transferring them to Ashdod port.

In the waters of the Mediterranean, an unprecedented movement is underway. The “Sumud Flotilla,” comprising over 40 ships from 44 nations, is approaching Gaza. Escorted by three NATO warships from Spain, Italy, and Turkey, this mission goes far beyond humanitarian aid; it represents a direct, complex, and multilayered challenge to Israel’s security doctrine and a critical test for the credibility of international law.

A 24-year-old Palestinian, Mahmoud Hassan Abdulrahman Akkad, carried out a car-ramming operation on September 28 at the Jit junction between Qalqilya and Nablus in the northern West Bank, targeting an Israeli soldier.

Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen has stated that Israel must assert full control over all occupied territories, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip, to ensure its national security.

Several vessels from the humanitarian “Sumud” flotilla were struck by drone attacks in the Mediterranean Sea. At least 15 drones flew over the convoy, with 12 direct strikes hitting 9 boats. More than 13 explosions were heard near the ships, and unidentified objects were reportedly dropped on 10 vessels, causing damage.

A roadside bomb detonated along the path of an Israeli military vehicle in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least four Israeli soldiers and injuring eight others. Several of the wounded are reported to be in critical condition.

Since early morning, Israeli regime has launched intense air and artillery strikes on multiple locations across Gaza, including the telecom towers in the northwest of Gaza City, Al-Bureij refugee camp, Khan Younis, the southern and central districts of Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, and the northern outskirts of Khan Younis

Following the launch of the ground phase of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, Israeli air and artillery attacks on Gaza City and surrounding areas have escalated dramatically. These brutal strikes aimed at depopulating Gaza to facilitate a more secure and aggressive ground invasion.
