US President Donald Trump is scheduled to arrive in Israel on October 12th, 2025, with indications from Israeli officials suggesting a potential release of hostages from three different locations simultaneously before his landing. This comes as fighters report the enemy approaching their posts very closely in the field, with current instructions focusing on removing citizens attempting to approach the yellow line. The situation in the field is described as the enemy reaching posts at extremely close proximity. Israeli officials are receiving indications that hostages might be released tonight, with the assumption that the release will occur before President Trump lands, according to an Israeli source. Meanwhile, fighters describe the enemy as coming "very close to our posts" and that current fire opening instructions involve removing citizens who try to get closer to the yellow line. The contact line that will be determined is expected to remain the contact line with the enemy for at least several months. Footage from Jabalia, northern Gaza, depicts an apocalyptic scene where not a single building remains standing, with the entire area reduced to rubble. This destruction follows ongoing military operations in the region. The Gaza Municipality had begun clearing and reopening streets in Gaza City on the morning of October 12th, 2025, to restore basic infrastructure amidst a scarcity of heavy machinery. Previous reports indicated that Israeli authorities outlined a plan for the deportation of terrorists, with the first phase sending all deported terrorists to Gaza, and subsequent transfers to third states contingent on absorption agreements, which are currently not in place. White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had also toured Israeli military sites in the Gaza Strip and the Re'im Hostage Return Site on October 11th. The U.S. Army is reportedly establishing a military headquarters in Israel to monitor the Gaza ceasefire and the "Trump program."
