Hamas released three Israeli hostages—Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levy—on Saturday as part of a prisoner swap deal.
The handover took place in Gaza under heavy security, with each hostage flanked by armed Hamas fighters.
Unlike previous releases, the hostages showed no visible signs of relief or emotion as they were made to hold up release certificates for the cameras.
In return, Israel freed a number of Palestinian detainees as part of the negotiated exchange.
The highly choreographed event has drawn global attention, highlighting the tense and fragile nature of ongoing negotiations.

Days after Israel’s military announced the killing of Hamas’ elusive spokesman Abu Obaida, mystery still surrounds his fate. The IDF and Shin Bet claim a targeted strike eliminated him, coordinated from an Israeli intelligence situation room. Reports say his wife and children were killed, but Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied his death, fueling speculation. With no body recovered, questions linger over whether Abu Obaida—Hamas’ most secretive and feared figure—is truly dead or remains alive in hiding.

A rare video of Abu Obaida as a teenager giving a speech in Gaza back in 2004 has gone viral after Israel confirmed killing the top Hamas commander. Social media is flooded with clips highlighting his early rhetoric and leadership in Hamas’ Qassam Brigades. The resurfacing of these speeches has reignited debates on resistance and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

A leaked plan reportedly under consideration by U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to place the Gaza Strip under American control and forcibly relocate millions of Palestinians. Hamas has strongly condemned the proposal, calling it a form of ethnic cleansing, while ordinary Gazans insist their homeland is not for sale. The controversial plan envisions Gaza as a “tourist Riviera” and high-tech zone, displacing its current population either abroad or into restricted areas. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue heavy operations in Gaza City, destroying homes and killing dozens of civilians, escalating the humanitarian crisis.

A day after Israel killed Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida, Hamas’ armed wing launched a surprise strike on Israeli forces in Gaza City. Using heavy mortars and guerrilla tactics, Hamas dismantled an IDF company near Hassan al-Banna mosque, halting Israeli advances. The IDF has now admitted losing 900 soldiers in the conflict, underscoring Hamas’ resilience. Tensions grow as Israel faces internal rifts, with PM Netanyahu clashing with IDF Chief Zamir over a possible hostage deal. The war intensifies as both sides reject compromise.

A stormy cabinet meeting has exposed a widening rift between the Israeli government and its military leadership. IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is urging a hostage deal to end the Gaza war, but far-right ministers demand total victory. Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu called Zamir “weak in Gaza” and even compared him to World War II generals who sought peace with Hitler, a claim historians dismiss. Netanyahu faces pressure from his cabinet to reject a deal, while the IDF warns continued conflict could deepen Israel’s crisis.

Houthis have declared an all-out war on Israel following the assassination of Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahawi in Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a. Vowing revenge, the Ansarullah movement warned of “real surprises” for Israel, promising escalated attacks by land and sea. The announcement comes after Houthi forces struck an Israeli oil tanker in the Red Sea and launched fresh drone operations in solidarity with Palestinians.

Israel expands gun permits, 100,000 more eligible as critics warn of rising civilian militias
Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has expanded gun licensing laws, making 100,000 more Israelis eligible for firearms amid soaring West Bank violence. Since the 2023 Hamas attack, more than 230,000 Israelis have received new permits, including settlers accused of driving Palestinians from their homes. Critics warn Ben-Gvir’s plan is fueling a civilian militia that targets Palestinians, deepening tensions and risking further bloodshed. Arab leaders and rights groups condemn the move, citing his extremist rhetoric, including calls to shoot women and children resisting Israeli operations. The decision marks Israel’s sharpest militarization of civilians in decades.
