Al Jazeera revises number of staff killed in Israeli attack to 4
A recent Israeli strike killed four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers, the news channel said on Tuesday, clarifying that four of the six dead were staff and not five as initially reported. The Qatar-based broadcaster had originally reported its correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were killed in the Israeli attack on Sunday. But in a corrected report on its English-language website, Al Jazeera clarified that Moamen Aliwa worked as a freelance cameraman, adding that the sixth journalist slain in the attack, Mohammed al-Khalidi, was also a freelancer. 'An earlier version of this story referred to Israel killing five Al Jazeera staff. The number of Al Jazeera journalists Israel killed was four,' Al Jazeera's statement read. The attack on the journalists' tent in Gaza City in the north of the Palestinian territory provoked international outrage and condemnation from journalists' groups. The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out the attack on Sharif, one of the most recognisable faces on the channel, claiming that he was a 'terrorist' who 'posed as a journalist'.

Israel PM floats ‘allowing' Palestinians out of Gaza, as mediators renew truce push
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday revived calls to 'allow' Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip, as the military prepares a broader offensive in the territory. Past calls to resettle Gazans outside the war-battered territory, including from US President Donald Trump, have sparked concern among Palestinians and condemnation from the international community. Netanyahu defended his war policies in a rare interview with Israeli media, broadcast shortly after Egypt said Gaza mediators were leading a renewed push to secure a 60-day truce. The premier told Israeli broadcaster i24NEWS that 'we are not pushing them out, but we are allowing them to leave'. 'Give them the opportunity to leave, first of all, combat zones, and generally to leave the territory, if they want,' he said, citing refugee outflows during wars in Syria, Ukraine and Afghanistan. Play In the Gaza Strip, Israel for years has tightly controlled the borders and barred many from leaving.

Israel's Gaza City offensive may be weeks away, leaving time for possible ceasefire
Israel's new offensive in Gaza City could take weeks to start, leaving the door open for a ceasefire, officials say, even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it would get under way 'fairly quickly' and end the war with Hamas' defeat. Two officials who were at a security cabinet meeting on Thursday to approve the plan told Reuters that the evacuation of civilians from affected areas may only be completed by the start of October, giving time for a deal to be pursued. The plan raised international alarm over the harm it could bring to the shattered enclave, where a hunger crisis has worsened. On Sunday, Netanyahu summoned foreign journalists to explain the blueprint, which includes what he described as a surge of humanitarian aid. Netanyahu said that Israel will first allow civilians to leave the battle zones before forces move in on Gaza City, which he described as one of Hamas' last two remaining strongholds, whose defeat will bring an end to the war.
