Hamas Warns against Blocking Humanitarian Aids to Gaza, Al-Qassam Releases Footage of Shujaia Ambush
Hamas Movement issued on Thursday a statement which affirms that, as part of its commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people by halting the (Zionist) aggression and opening the crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid, the positive initiative of releasing captured soldier Edan Alexander came ahead of US President's visit to the region.
'We expect, based on the understandings reached with the American side, and with the knowledge of the mediators, that humanitarian aid should have entered the Gaza Strip immediately, a call been made for a permanent ceasefire, and that comprehensive negotiations would have been held on all issues to achieve security and stability in the region, a goal we aspire to achieve.'
However, failure to achieve these steps, especially the entry of humanitarian aid to our people, will cast a negative effect over any efforts to complete negotiations on the prisoner exchange process, Hamas warned.
Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas military wing, released a video to show the ambush and clash with a Zionist occupation force in Shujaia neighborhood, northern Gaza on April 25, 2025. The operation left two Zionist soldiers dead and others injured.

Netanyahu Says Significant Progress Made in Talks to Release Hostages
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that there had been "significant progress" in efforts to secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza, but that it was "too soon" to raise hopes that a deal would be reached. Despite efforts by the United States, Egypt and Qatar to restore a ceasefire in Gaza, neither Israel nor Hamas has shown willingness to back down on core demands, with each side blaming the other for the failure to reach a deal. Netanyahu, who has come under pressure from within his right-wing coalition to continue the war and block humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, said in a video statement shared by his office that there had been progress, without providing details. A source familiar with the negotiations said that Washington had been giving Hamas more assurances, in the form of steps that would lead to an end to the war, but said it was U.S. officials who were optimistic, not Israeli ones. The source said there was pressure from Washington to have a deal done as soon as possible. The White House National Security Council and representatives for U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who is leading U.S. efforts in the ceasefire talks, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither did Hamas representatives. Israel's leadership has said that it would wage war until the remaining 55 hostages held in Gaza are freed and when Hamas, whose October 2023 attack sparked the war, has been dismantled. Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, has said it would no longer govern after the war if a Palestinian, non-partisan technocratic committee took over, but it has refused to disarm. The U.S. has proposed a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israel said it would abide by the terms but Hamas has sought amendments. The militants have said that they would release all hostages in exchange for a permanent end to the war. The war in Gaza has raged since Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people in Israel in the October 2023 attack and took 251 hostages back to the enclave, according to Israeli tallies. Israel responded with a military campaign that has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities.

Only 24% of Israelis Displaced from North of Occupied Palestine Considering Return for Fear of Hezbollah
Away from the fake social media trends which match with the propaganda promoted by the Zionist enemy and its media puppets in several countries to claim and Israeli victory over the Lebanese Resistance, the real trends of the Israelis show how they reflect that deeply-rooted fear of Hezbollah. When Hezbollah started its border battle to support the Palestinian Resistance against the Israeli war on Gaza in 2023, it managed to displace dozens of thousands of the Israelis dwelling in north of occupied Palestine. Master of the Umma Martyrs Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah affirmed repeatedly that the settlers of the North would never return before the end of the war on Gaza. The Israeli enemy escalated its war on Lebanon, assassinated Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah, and stepped up its attacks on Lebanon even after the ceasefire; however, it failed to return the settlers to the North. According to the latest Israeli reports, only 24% of residents of northern settlements said they would return, and worse still, the percentage of those who do not intend to return is much higher among young people and the educated. 54% of those evacuated from northern settlements suffer from post-traumatic stress symptoms, the reports added, noting that half of the parents of high school students in the northern settlements reported a decline in their academic performance. The reports maintained that 27.3% of self-employed business owners are considering not stopping work in the northern settlements.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and UK Sanction Israeli Extremist Ministers Smotrich & Ben Gvir
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the two Israeli extremist ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, stressing, in a joint statement, that two Zionist politicians have incited violence against the Palestinians in the West Bank. Settler violence is incited by extremist rhetoric which calls for Palestinians to be driven from their homes, encourages violence and human rights abuses and fundamentally rejects the two-state solution. Settler violence has led to the deaths of Palestinian civilians and the displacement of whole communities, the statement read. We are steadfastly committed to the two-state solution which is the only way to guarantee security and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians and ensure long term stability in the region, but it is imperiled by extremist settler violence and settlement expansion, the statement added. 'Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous. These actions are not acceptable. We have engaged the Israeli Government on this issue extensively, yet violent perpetrators continue to act with encouragement and impunity. This is why we have taken this action now – to hold those responsible to account. The Israeli Government must uphold its obligations under international law and we call on it to take meaningful action to end extremist, violent and expansionist rhetoric.' 'Today's measures focus on the West Bank, but of course this cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza. We continue to be appalled by the immense suffering of civilians, including the denial of essential aid. There must be no unlawful transfer of Palestinians from Gaza or within the West Bank, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip.' The Israeli occupation army intensified its military offensive in occupied Palestine's West Bank early Tuesday, launching a large-scale raid on the Old City of Nablus.
