Mass strike, protests erupt in Tel Aviv over captives in Gaza
The escalation, described by Hebrew media as a 'people's strike,' is part of a 'week of protests' aimed at pressuring the government to secure an immediate deal to return the captives, even if it means halting the fighting and ending the war on Gaza.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the demonstrations began symbolically at 6:29 AM, the exact time marking the start of the October 7, 2023, events, a reminder that the consequences of that day are still unfolding.
Large segments of settlers are taking part in the strike and protests, which are expected to intensify and peak in the evening outside government and key occupation offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

'Israeli' negotiators weigh partial agreement to secure captives
'Israeli' negotiation team has shown readiness on Saturday to agree to a partial deal with Gaza, according to Hebrew media. Reports alleged that the team believes any opportunity for a partial agreement should be accepted if it results in the release of the largest possible number of captives held in the enclave. International mediators are attempting to accelerate talks between 'Israel' and Hamas in hopes of reaching an agreement soon. However, the current progress suggests that such a deal may still take time. A senior official in the 'Israeli' security cabinet was quoted as saying the difference between a comprehensive deal and a partial one is 'just a matter of terminology,' noting that the proposals already involve several phases. Mediating states are pushing for a swift agreement to halt 'Israeli' military operations planned in Gaza City. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded a clear decision from the cabinet not to halt the ground maneuver in exchange for any deal.

Iran hacked former ‘Israeli' Justice Minister phone during June war: Hebrew media
Iranian operatives successfully hacked the phone of former 'Israeli' Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked during the 12-day war in June 2025, according to Hebrew media reports. The breach, which was part of Tehran's ongoing effort to spy on current and former 'Israeli' officials, compromised Shaked's Telegram account. Sources close to Shaked said the hack was carried out after she clicked on a malicious link, a classic social engineering tactic. Although the Shin Bet, 'Israel's' internal security service, informed her of the breach approximately two weeks after it occurred, her associates reported that the Telegram account was "empty" and did not contain any sensitive information. The incident was not an isolated event. Shaked had been a persistent intelligence target for years. She was personally warned by then-Shin Bet director Nadav Argaman in 2016 and 2017, while she was a sitting minister, that Iranian operators were attempting to monitor her phone conversations. Although she left office in 2022, she had indicated an intention to return to political life, making her a continued target for long-term intelligence gathering.
