On the 388th day of the "Storm of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" operation, the occuption forces are still launching air attacks and heavy artillery bombardment on the Gaza Strip, leading to brutal massacres of innocent civilians. Here are the main points of the progress:

- Intensification of extermination operations in northern Gaza

For over three weeks, the occupation has been escalating its shelling on the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, specifically in Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia town, where civilians are continuously being shelled and their homes targeted directly.

Anadolu Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that Israeli forces are reinforcing their presence around Jabalia camp, imposing a complete siege that prevents the entry of essential supplies, warning of a severe humanitarian crisis that may include famine and thirst.

- Urgent medical appeals to save Kamal Adwan hospital

The Ministry of Health in Gaza called on international institutions to send urgent surgical medical teams to support Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern Gaza Strip after the occupation arrested the majority of medical staff there.

According to the ministry's statement, there is only one pediatric specialist left in the hospital, posing a major challenge in treating the increasing number of casualties.

The Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Bursh, confirmed that the occupation had arrested about 40 medical staff, with 30 of them still under arrest, dealing an additional blow to the collapsing health system.

- "Israeli" analyst: Occupier's losses are significant in October

Israeli military analyst Amos Harel mentioned that October is the bloodiest month for the occupation army since the beginning of the year, with significant human casualties that may lead the public to demand an end to the war.

He pointed to the deaths and injuries of dozens of soldiers in clashes in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, reflecting the pressure faced by the army.

- Hamas rejects a partial ceasefire

Sources revealed to "Quds Press" that Hamas expressed reservations about proposals for a temporary ceasefire that includes a partial exchange deal.

The informed source explained that Hamas, considering the responsibility placed on its shoulders, is willing to seriously consider mediator's offers while ensuring that the conditions serve the interests of the Palestinian people.

The source refused to comment on the news related to a temporary deal involving the exchange of 5 non-Israeli prisoners in the possession of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. They will be in exchange for the release of an unspecified number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, as part of a temporary ceasefire agreement and calm for only two weeks, including the entry of special aid to the northern areas of Gaza.

The source said: "The occupation condition is to keep its army in the areas, without moving the vehicles during the period of calm, and this is something that Hamas rejects, supported by its position from all factions of resistance, and derives its strength from the resilience and support of the Palestinian people in the sector."

Discussing a Ceasefire in Gaza

In the Qatari capital, Doha, intensive meetings continue in order to reach an agreement to stop the ceasefire and complete a prisoner exchange deal.

The Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Director of the CIA William Burns, along with the head of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, David Barnea, are participating in these talks, according to the "Al Jazeera Net" website.

According to what was reported by Reuters, the talks aim to reach a short-term agreement to stop the ceasefire, including the release of some prisoners and detainees held by both parties.

Netanyahu and Gantz

Escalating disagreements between Netanyahu and Gantz regarding the management of the war

Hebrew reports indicate escalating tension between the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Yoav Gantz, regarding the management of the war on Gaza.

Gantz pointed out in a message to senior officials that "the war is being managed without a clear compass," calling for a reassessment of goals and strategies, reflecting the increasing criticisms of the occupation government's performance in managing operations.

On the 387th day of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation, the occupying forces persist in launching air attacks and heavy shelling on Gaza, leading to brutal killings of innocent civilians.

Death toll in the northern Gaza Strip

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the martyrdom of more than 1000 citizens in the besieged northern sector during the past three weeks, indicating that 30 medical personnel are missing after being arrested by the occupation forces from inside Kamal Adwan Hospital.

The Ministry's spokesperson, Khalil al-Dukran, blamed the Israeli occupation for the lives of medical personnel, confirming that the occupation seeks to deliberately disable the health system in the north in order to cause the greatest number of casualties.

Al-Dukran added that the situation in northern Gaza has become unbearable, appealing to the international community to act immediately to save civilians before it is too late.

Gaza Government Media Office condemns the silence of international organizations

The Gaza Government Media Office strongly condemned the clear neglect of international organizations operating in the sector, affirming that this negligence fuels the occupation's persistence in committing monstrous crimes.

The statement issued by the office on Saturday evening stated that these organizations deal with the critical conditions in the sector with complete indifference, without paying attention to the suffering of civilians in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

The statement pointed out that these organizations have not fulfilled their humanitarian role as mandated by international law, as they have ignored providing necessary support such as food, water, and healthcare, leaving the Palestinian people to suffer deliberate starvation for over 180 days without meaningful assistance.

The Government Media Office also reported that international organizations have not provided the minimum level of medical assistance and have not supported medical teams and facilities sufficiently to address the deteriorating situation in northern Gaza.

The statement added that the negligence of these organizations contributed significantly to the acceleration of the collapse of the healthcare system, as they did not intervene to provide medicines and essential supplies, and did not support medical teams in the face of water and food shortages.

The office emphasized that these organizations have shown a complete inability to provide any tangible support to protect human rights, or even facilitate communication for families separated due to arrests and forced displacement, with more than 250 individuals still abducted by the occupation and thousands of families forcibly displaced.

The office called on international organizations to fully assume their humanitarian responsibilities.

Quality ramming operation in "Tel Aviv"

In an operation described by the Palestinian media as a quality one, a Palestinian carried out a ramming operation with a truck near the Mossad headquarters in "Tel Aviv", resulting in the killing of 6 Zionist soldiers and the injury of around 50 others, some of them in critical condition.

Hebrew reports confirmed that a number of soldiers are still trapped under the truck in a dangerous situation.

On the other hand, Palestinian factions praised the operation and considered it a legitimate response to the ongoing occupation crimes.

"Hezbollah" warns residents of 25 settlements

In an escalatory move, the Lebanese "Hezbollah" issued a warning to residents of 25 settlements in northern occupied Palestinian territories to evacuate immediately, affirming that these settlements have become legitimate targets for their military and missile forces, as they are used as launching points for "Israeli" attacks against Lebanon.

The warning included multiple settlements, including Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Karmiel, and others, in what is considered a significant escalation amid continued tension on the Lebanese border.

Talks in Doha about a prisoner exchange and ceasefire

Kuwait: Zionists should be held accountable for gruesome crimes in Palestine, Lebanon

UN Human Rights Chief condemns deadly strike near Beirut hospital

  Kuwait called on the international community on Tuesday to unify efforts to hold Zionist occupation accountable for its gruesome crimes committed in Palestine and Lebanon. Delivering the speech of Kuwait permanent mission to the United Nations before the sixth political committee of legal affairs, Kuwait’s diplomatic attaché Zeina Al-Dalloum stressed that Zionist crimes are genocide and crimes against humanity against Palestinian and Lebanese people.

The international community has been silent while the occupation has been committing crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip for more than one year, Al-Dalloum said. The Zionist occupation also launched its brutal aggression on Lebanon, she said, expressing Kuwait’s condemnation of Zionist occupation continued ignorance of international legitimacy resolutions, which call for the full withdrawal from Palestinian territories.

The occupation forces violates Lebanon’s sovereignty and threaten its security through their brutal attacks that killed several civilians, she added. Al-Dalloum stressed the need of ensuring Palestinians’ rights to self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on June 4, 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital, as a main step for maintaining international peace and security. Kuwait has been promoting justice and combating all forms of injustice, violence and corruption, out of its belief in the rule of law, she stated.

She referred to Kuwait’s speech before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the legal impacts of Zionist occupation policies and practices on the occupied Palestinian territories, including Al-Quds Al-Sharif. Kuwait affirmed that abiding by the rule of law on international and local levels is essential for sustainable development and economic growth, and combating poverty and starvation as well as protecting human rights and freedom, she pointed out.

Kuwait’s Constitution respects the rule of law and separation among authorities, she said. On empowering women, Al-Dalloum said Kuwait trusts women’s position and their key role in making decisions and raising the country’s status, internationally, pointing to women’s occupation in judicial, executive and legislative authorities. Kuwait has been proceeding with digitization as it launched “Sahel” app to facilitate services. Al-Dalloum emphasized Kuwait’s commitment to all laws and international charters that enhance the rule of law, on a basis of justice and equality.

Reports from the media office in Gaza revealed that the "Israeli" occupation forces continue to impose a suffocating siege on the sector, preventing the entry of more than 250,000 trucks carrying food aid and goods since the start of the war on Gaza.

The office stated: This policy is part of the occupation's strategy to enhance starvation and use it as a weapon of war against civilians, as northern provinces of the sector, especially Jabalia, are witnessing a severe shortage of basic necessities such as food, infant formula, and nutritional supplements.

It confirmed that these practices constitute crimes against humanity and violate international law, which prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon against civilian populations.
