An Israeli raid occurred in the center of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, on October 4th, 2025, as reported by an Arab TV correspondent. Hamas complained that attacks continued during the Sabbath, alleging this violates promises made by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to reduce military actions against civilians. This development comes after Hamas stated on October 4th, 2025, between 7:37 PM and 8:37 PM UTC, that ongoing bombing operations exposed Prime Minister Netanyahu's alleged lies regarding reduced military actions against civilians in Gaza. The Israeli military had shifted to defensive operations in Gaza on October 4th, ceasing initiated attacks, following a directive from President Donald J. 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. Earlier on October 4th, 2025, 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, according to social media documentation. This group claims recruitment and operates in the Tel Alhua neighborhood, with suggestions of collaboration with Israel.
