Hamas officials announced on October 12th, 2025, at approximately 7:12 PM UTC, that they have achieved full control of Gaza City following clashes with the Dughmush clan. According to Hamas sources cited by Al Jazeera, dozens of Dughmush clan members were apprehended, with some killed, and approximately 60 are currently being interrogated. Hamas's internal security unit, the 'Arrow Unit,' is reportedly conducting crackdowns on "outlaws" across the Gaza Strip, including the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone in Khan Younis. These developments follow reports from BBC, cited by Faytuks Network, indicating at least 27 deaths in the conflict between Hamas and the Dughmush family clan. The Dughmush family claims Hamas militants stormed their residence at the former Jordanian hospital to evict them and establish a new base. Hamas sources stated that a number of "outlaws" were killed during the operation. In preparation for an anticipated hostage release scheduled for tomorrow, October 13th, 2025, at 08:00 UTC, security assessments suggest some individuals may be released first. Kidnappers will reportedly be concentrated in one location in Gaza, where a ceremony will be held. Special unit fighters will be present, and following the ceremony, civilians will be taken to Abu Kabir, while soldiers will be transported to a row camp, according to a security assessment shared by BittonRosen. Previous reports from October 12th, 2025, detailed ongoing diplomatic efforts, including a summit scheduled for October 13th, 2025, at Pisgat Sharm-Sheikh, with confirmed attendance from U.S. President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abd al-Fattah A-Sisi, alongside European leaders, Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan, and Jordan's King Abdullah II. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was also expected to attend. These efforts were framed against a backdrop of significant conflict and humanitarian concerns within Gaza, with Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal estimating 10,000 martyrs under the rubble and the Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, reporting preparations for prisoner examinations amidst widespread health issues among detainees.
