Hamas stated on October 4th, 2025, between 7:37 PM and 8:37 PM UTC that the continuation of bombing operations exposes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's alleged lies regarding reduced military actions against civilians in Gaza. This statement was disseminated via Al-Hadath. The past hour has seen continued activity in the Gaza conflict, with Hamas issuing a critical statement regarding Israeli military operations. The group's assertion, shared on social media, directly challenges claims made by Prime Minister Netanyahu about the conduct of the campaign. This development occurs against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations and military activities previously reported. In parallel, social media channels have shown general expressions of solidarity with the people of Gaza, with one post stating, "There is no sound above the voice of the people of Gaza Hamas to the date of history." This sentiment reflects broader public discourse surrounding the conflict. Previous reports from October 4th, 2025, indicated that Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed optimism about a finalized hostage deal, with potential announcements expected during Sukkot. President Donald J. Trump has also presented a comprehensive plan to end the conflict, which includes the immediate return of hostages and cessation of hostilities. The Israeli military had shifted to defensive operations in Gaza on October 4th, ceasing initiated attacks, following a directive from President Trump. The IDF also announced the discovery of a significant terror tunnel containing a weapons manufacturing workshop adjacent to the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza City on October 4th. Additionally, a new militia identifying as "The People's Army Northern Forces" reportedly held a military parade in northern Gaza between 7:07 PM and 7:37 PM UTC on October 4th, according to social media documentation. This group claims recruitment and operates in the Tel Alhua neighborhood, with suggestions of collaboration with Israel. The emergence of such groups adds to the complex security landscape in the region, while ongoing discoveries of Hamas tunnel infrastructure, including one adjacent to the Jordanian Hospital, continue to be reported by the IDF.
