Chief of Staff Zamir declared "victory over Hamas" on October 12th, 2025, stating that "military pressure... along with the complementary political move is a victory over Hamas" and that "We will continue to fulfill the rest of the war - in our actions, we redesign the Middle East face and our security strategy for the years to come." Meanwhile, Gazan influencer Saleh Al-Jafarawi, also known as Mr. FAFO and described as a Hamas mouthpiece, was reportedly killed by members of the Dughmush clan in Gaza City. Over the past hour, Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal stated that "The occupation destroyed the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and destroyed all necessities of life," and that "There are 10,000 martyrs under the rubble in the Gaza Strip." He also called for "safe corridors must be provided for all humanitarian aid needs of the Gaza Strip to enter without restrictions" and for "heavy equipment must be brought into the Gaza Strip to remove the rubble and extract the martyrs." The Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, reported that they are preparing to receive approximately 1,900 prisoners to be released by the occupation, stating that Nasser Medical Hospital is being prepared to receive them and conduct comprehensive examinations. Al-Bursh also noted that "Many prisoners suffer from skin diseases such as scabies due to the harsh conditions of detention" and that "There are about 17,000 patients in urgent need of urgent travel for treatment outside Gaza." Further reports indicate that after following up, contact with colleague Saleh Al-Jaafrawi was completely cut off after his alleged kidnapping, with eyewitnesses talking about him being shot, according to صفحة النصيرات الإخبارية #غزة. Hamas-affiliated sources also confirmed that Saleh Al-Jafarawi was killed by the local Dughmush clan. Fatah-affiliated channels claimed communication with Jaafari was cut off, and he was allegedly abducted and then shot, with Palestinian news sources, including members of the Hamas-affiliated Arrow Unit, claiming he was killed by members of the Daghmush clan. In Gaza City, scenes of Hamas militias burning what remained of the homes of the Daghmush family were reported in the Al-Sabra Al-Samoud neighborhood. A commander in Khan Yunis, Husam al-Astal, who leads militias that reportedly threaten Hamas control, stated in an interview with Ynet that he is in a "tight relationship" with the US and Israel, and his goal is "that people would live in peace as before 7/10." A summit is planned for tomorrow at Pisgat Sharm-Sheikh, with U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abd al-Fattah A-Sisi scheduled to attend. European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich March, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Starmer Wall are also expected. Other invited leaders include Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan and Jordan's King Abdullah II. Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas were not invited. In a separate development, a Red Cross minibus was transferred to the south of Gaza City between 1:08 PM and 1:37 PM UTC, amidst earlier reports that Hamas terrorists attacked the Dughmush family residences using ambulance vehicles. Gaza flotilla activists detained by Israel have arrived in Jordan, as reported by Al Jazeera.
