Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received an envelope following a court hearing in Jerusalem this morning, September 17th, 2025. The details of the envelope's contents or its significance were not immediately disclosed, according to journalist Moti Kastel. This development follows ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza City, where communications and internet services have been interrupted across wide parts of the area. Israeli forces reportedly control the Sheikh Radwan Pool area and are advancing into the Rimal neighborhood and along Al-Rashid Road. An estimated 400,000 Palestinians have dispersed from Gaza City to southern Gaza, according to assessments shared on September 17th, 2025. Earlier today, at approximately 5:05 AM UTC, false alarms for suspected drone infiltration were reported in Be'er Ora, southern Israel, which the IDF stated were triggered by false identification. Between 4:01 AM UTC and 4:46 AM UTC on September 17th, 2025, reports indicated Israeli troops were advancing into the Rimal neighborhood and on Al-Rashid Road in Gaza City. Previous reporting from September 16th, 2025, detailed an incident where a Palestinian man was targeted by an Israeli drone while filming in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City. The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on over 850 targets in Gaza City the preceding week, with the IDF estimating the presence of 2,000 to 2,500 trained terrorists.
