Israel has received a message from Hamas indicating the group requires time to restore abductors and may also seek the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from specific areas, according to reports from realtors conveying the message this evening, October 3rd, 2025. The specifics of the message were detailed by Itay Blumental. The communication from Hamas, relayed by realtors to Israel, emphasizes the need for more time related to the status of abductees. This development follows earlier reports of internal clashes in Khan Yunis between Hamas units and local clans, which resulted in multiple fatalities among Hamas fighters. Additionally, earlier today, over 470 activists on 42 boats belonging to the Global Sumud Flotilla were detained by the Israeli Navy as part of Operation Horizon Shield. Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also stated today that U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan differs from a draft presented by Muslim countries. Gaza also reported the operation of a repaired waterline from Israel to the Central Store area, with another direct line still undergoing repairs. Overnight between October 2nd and 3rd, over 22 members of Hamas militias were reportedly killed by the Al-Majaida family in Khan Yunis. Doaa Al-Majaida, a 29-year-old Palestinian woman, succumbed to wounds sustained during an earlier Hamas attack on her family this morning, October 3rd. The conflict originated over two months ago from an initial Hamas militia attack on the Al-Majaida family.
