“Israel’s political leadership has now ordered the IOF to halt its operation to occupy all of Gaza City”.

“According to the instructions of the political echelon, the Chief of Staff instructed to advance readiness for the implementation of the first phase of the Trump plan for the release of the hostages.

Alongside this, it was emphasized that the security of our forces is a top priority and that all IDF capabilities will be allocated to the Southern Command for the protection of our forces.

The Chief of Staff noted that due to the operational sensitivity, all forces must show high alertness and vigilance. He also emphasized the need for a rapid response to remove any threat”.

“As part of the "Moses' Staff" operations series
Scenes of targeting and demolishing the invading forces in Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City”.

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The response presented by the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" to the Trump plan is an expression of the position of the Palestinian resistance forces, and the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine responsibly participated in the consultations that led to this decision”.

“Al-Qassam fighters, in cooperation with the fighters of Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, managed to target a Zionist Apache helicopter with a SAM-7 missile north of Gaza City on September 25th, 2025”.

“I hope in the coming days to give you the good news of the return of all the abductees. I have not given up for a moment on bringing back the abductees.

I coordinated with Trump on a political process that turned the tables in Gaza. Hamas had previously not agreed to release the abductees without the withdrawal of the army from the sector.

Our goal is to limit the negotiations to a few days.

Hamas will lay down its arms.

I have directed the teams to go to Egypt to finalize the last details.

In the second phase, Hamas will be disarmed and the sector will be disarmed - either this will be achieved politically or militarily”.

“We have changed the face of the Middle East, and we will continue to work to ensure Israel's eternal presence in the region”.

“I said [to Netanyahu], 'Bibi, this is your chance for victory.' He was fine with it.

He's got to be fine with it. He has no choice. With me, you got to be fine.

We had great receptivity for our plan — every country of the world in favor.

Bibi is in favor. Hamas went a long way — they want to do it. Now we will need to close it.

Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world.

Now I am gonna get all that support back”.

“We are fighting a very complex battle in Gaza City, and the enemy is making the utmost use of previous battles in order to minimize losses among its ranks.

We have brave fighters who are our capital at all times, and with them we fight the enemy and exploit any advancement to ambush them with the appropriate weapons. By the grace of God, we have succeeded in many heroic operations, and as usual, the enemy practices lying and deception about its human losses.

The combat units deployed along the axes of advance in Gaza City are ready and prepared, continuously conducting maneuvers to avoid damage from Zionist booby-trapped vehicles.

The enemy is advancing slowly and using unmanned vehicles to detect and target combat units, and we are fully aware of that and miss many opportunities.

The enemy's advance towards the heart of Gaza City is happening under the eyes of our resistance fighters, and we have tactics focused on valuable targets and maximizing the number of enemy soldiers killed and wounded.

We tell the enemy soldiers that we are not far from you and you will see our faces whenever we decide because we are engaged in a harsh and complex war of attrition and we understand our steps well.

The enemy will not be safe in our beloved Gaza, and yes, it can advance, but the cost of its staying is well known by the criminal Zamir.

Our message to the patient, struggling sons of our people is that we feel your pain and always strive to make this aggression costly for the enemy. We bow to the head of every individual in our people, and God willing, our collective patience will soon bear honor and a new dawn”.

“We are on the verge of a great achievement. It is not yet final, but I hope we can announce during the Sukkot holiday the release of all the hostages, both the living and the fallen, in one phase - while the IDF remains in the heart of the Gaza Strip, Gaza City.

Throughout the war, there were those who repeatedly claimed that we could not get all the hostages without withdrawing quickly from the Strip. I thought differently and acted differently. I never gave up on the remaining hostages. To bring back the remaining 48 hostages, I instructed the IDF to enter Hamas's important stronghold - Gaza City. At the same time, I described with President Trump a political move in which instead of Israel being isolated, Hamas would be isolated.

I hear some say that Hamas was ready a year ago to release all our hostages without a full withdrawal from the Strip. That is simply a lie. What brought about the change in Hamas's position was the political and military pressure we applied. Only the military and political pressure brought about the change in Hamas's position”.

“Tel Aviv informed Washington that it intends to remain in 3 locations in the Gaza Strip over the coming years, including the Salah al-Din axis”.

“The army will begin its withdrawal from Gaza only after all hostages, alive and deceased, are returned”.

“Two armed resistance fighters with Kalashnikov rifles tried to approach an occupation army point in southern Syria to carry out an operation”.
