An Israeli Air Force aircraft conducted a precise strike on a cell attempting to plant explosive devices in Gaza City, as confirmed by Avichay Adraee on September 23rd, 2025, at approximately 11:30 PM UTC. The operation by the 162nd Division successfully destroyed the cell without any injuries to Israeli forces. The Defense Army forces stated their continued commitment to combating terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to protect Israeli citizens. In a separate development occurring concurrently, communications for the Gaza flotilla were reportedly jammed with music, according to a social media post by Heidi Bachram. The previous report indicated that the flotilla was targeted by drones off the coast of Crete, with communications jamming and the use of explosive devices, as stated by user @davidrkadler between 10:37 PM and 11:06 PM UTC. These events follow US President Donald Trump's description of his meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders in Jerusalem as "great." That summit, which concluded around 9:07 PM UTC on September 23rd, focused on the Gaza conflict. International discussions have also included French President Emmanuel Macron challenging President Trump on the war and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's announcement of a potential motion to recognize a Palestinian state.
