Israeli forces deployed lighting bombs over Gaza City sometime between 9:15 PM UTC and 10:15 PM UTC on September 10th, 2025, according to a report by media personality Ali Salem. The deployment of lighting bombs occurred during the one-hour reporting window. No further details regarding the specific locations or duration of the deployment were provided in the initial report. This development follows the return of hostage Elizabeth Tsurkov to Israel earlier on September 10th, 2025, after being held in Iraq for over two years. Tsurkov's release was facilitated through Cyprus, with assistance from Cypriot authorities, as announced by the Mossad and Prime Minister's Office.
