Rumors circulating on social media claim that Saleh al-Jafarawi was shot dead by members of the Dughmosh clan, though this has not been verified. Al-Jaafrawi was one of the most prominent figures associated with Hamas propaganda since the start of the war in Gaza. In the past, there were also false rumors about his death.
Hopes that Hamas will voluntarily disarm, that international forces will deploy in the Strip, and that a process of building a Palestinian government in which Hamas does not participate will begin, are false hopes.
Israel finalizes preparations for the return of all 48 hostages from Gaza as a tightly coordinated operation is set to begin Monday at dawn and conclude by midday.
The Islamic Republic article describes Hamas' October 7 attack as a "costly failure" and indirectly acknowledges the severe blows suffered by the entire Iranian axis in the confrontation with Israel.
As hostage deal enters crucial 24 hours, officials believe the 20 captives are scattered across three separate locations in Gaza. Hamas poised for a dramatic simultaneous handover.
