Israel is expected to release a full document detailing the names of 250 Palestinian prisoners as part of a transaction, with the updated list following Hamas's demands, as reported by Avi Shaviv this morning, October 10th, 2025. The list includes senior operative Hazam Awad, responsible for attacks that killed and injured Israelis, and Hilmi Abdel Karim Muhammad, who was responsible for a suicide bombing in Jerusalem that killed Israelis and wounded 50, according to Avi Shaviv. Concurrently, Israeli bombing occurred on Al-Rashid Street near returning displaced persons, as reported by Alhadath_Brk. This development follows an urgent Israeli government telephone referendum with a deadline of 12:00 PM today concerning the swap of prisoners with Hamas, which is intended to facilitate the release of hostages. The referendum is a replacement of a number of prisoners with the same number of Hamas prisoners, in accordance with agreements made with mediators. Despite disputes over terrorist identities, a senior GSS official has previously deemed the deal correct despite its high cost, according to previous reports. Earlier this morning, multiple Israeli Defense Forces brigades, including the 188th and Givati, completed their withdrawal from Gaza City by approximately 7:00 AM UTC, allowing residents to return to damaged areas. The IDF's departure from areas like Al-Rashid Street and the Netzarim Corridor intersection has reportedly enabled movement to northern Gaza. The withdrawal marks a significant phase after the ratification of a ceasefire and hostage deal.
