Journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi was reported killed by gunfire in Gaza City on October 12th, 2025, according to Al Jazeera Live. Resistance sources told Al Jazeera Mubasher that Al-Jaafrawi was martyred by bullets during clashes with elements believed to be working for the occupation in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood. Al-Aqsa TV also reported his death by gunfire. Multiple sources indicate conflicting accounts regarding Al-Jaafrawi's death. Some reports, including from صفحة النصيرات الإخبارية #غزة, claim he was executed by gangs cooperating with the occupation after being kidnapped. Other sources, such as a post from @Novytique, suggest Al-Jaafrawi was involved with a Hamas force attacking the Daghmush family and was killed during that incident, with accusations of him stealing donation money. Amidst these developments, the release of hostages is scheduled for October 13th, 2025, at 08:00 UTC, with potential for multiple groups to be released. This comes as Israeli forces have redeployed to the 'yellow line' in Gaza in anticipation of this release, according to an aerial image and confirmed by the Israeli government spokesman. The Qatari al-Arab channel reported that Hamas's military wing would deliver "several spaces" to Israel tomorrow, a statement corroborated by previous reports. In other incidents within Gaza City, Hamas militias have been accused of shooting two individuals from the Al-Rayes family, Ahmed Al-Rayes and Sufyan Al-Rayes, on Al-Thalatheni Street, southwest of Gaza, according to activist Hamza Al-Masry. Shooting was also reported in Nuseirat. Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal previously stated that the occupation has destroyed Gaza's infrastructure and necessities of life, estimating 10,000 martyrs under the rubble and urging for safe corridors for humanitarian aid and heavy equipment. The Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, reported preparations to receive approximately 1,900 prisoners, with Nasser Medical Hospital being readied for their examinations, noting many prisoners suffer from skin diseases and approximately 17,000 patients require urgent treatment outside Gaza. A summit is planned for October 13th, 2025, at Pisgat Sharm-Sheikh, with U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abd al-Fattah A-Sisi confirmed to attend, along with European leaders, Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan, and Jordan's King Abdullah II. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is also expected, though Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas were not invited. Previous reports also detailed accusations of Israeli soldiers setting fire to food, homes, and a sewage treatment plant in Gaza City, with troops reportedly referring to these actions as their "final touches." Handwritten notes attributed to Yahya Sinwar, dated 2022, outlining raid strategies, were published by the IDF.
