Deadly Israeli airstrikes pound Gaza as Doha talks raise hopes for ceasefire
As hopes rise for a ceasefire deal in Doha, Israeli airstrikes continued to devastate the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing dozens and injuring hundreds in one of the deadliest 24-hour periods in recent weeks. The renewed violence came as indirect talks between Hamas and Israel were set to begin in the Qatari capital, offering a potential breakthrough after months of stalled negotiations. According to Gaza's Ministry of Health, at least 80 Palestinians were killed and 304 wounded over the past 24 hours, raising the toll since the resumption of hostilities on 18 March to 6,860 killed and 24,220 injured. Since the war erupted on 7 October 2023, the total death toll has reached 57,418, with more than 136,000 injured—making it one of the deadliest military campaigns in the region in recent history. The latest strikes hit multiple areas, including Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the Al-Mawasi district west of Khan Younis, and Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in northern Gaza City. Hospital sources confirmed that at least 61 people were killed in these strikes alone. Amid the escalation, Israeli media reported that two Israeli soldiers were wounded when an anti-tank missile struck a military vehicle in the northern Gaza Strip, in what appears to be a resurgence of resistance operations. While the violence raged on the ground, attention shifted to the Qatari capital, where indirect talks are taking place under heavy international pressure to break the deadlock. The negotiations, described by officials as 'serious,' come ahead of a planned meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday. On Friday, Hamas announced its readiness to immediately engage in negotiations to implement a US-backed ceasefire framework brokered by Egypt and Qatar. In response, the Israeli government confirmed it would dispatch a delegation to Doha, even as Netanyahu's office dismissed Hamas's amendments to the proposal as 'unacceptable.' Nonetheless, Netanyahu instructed the team to pursue intensive talks focused on securing a hostage deal. In a parallel move, Israel's security cabinet approved a plan early Sunday to expand humanitarian aid distribution across Gaza, including in the hard-hit north. The decision came despite vocal opposition from far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. The cabinet also advanced a controversial proposal to establish 'tent cities' in Rafah to house displaced civilians—drawing sharp criticism from humanitarian groups, who warn it could pave the way for large-scale forced displacement. Meanwhile, the Joint Operations Room of Palestinian resistance factions issued a fierce statement condemning what it described as a 'gang' collaborating with Israeli forces in eastern Rafah. The statement named Yasser Abu Shabab as a leader of the group and accused its members of betraying the Palestinian cause. 'They are completely stripped of their Palestinian identity,' the statement read. 'They will cling like parasites to the tails of enemy tanks when regret will be too late. The enemy will discard them like worn-out shoes.'

Palestinian sects declare Abu Shabab, his gang traitors
Gaza - Saba: The Joint Operations Room of the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip announced today, Saturday, that the blood of the mercenary traitor Yasser Abu Shabab and his gang, formed by the Zionist enemy army, was shed. His political leadership admitted to arming and operating them in the service of the Zionist enemy and attempting to protect its soldiers. In a joint statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the factions said that Abu Shabab and his gang "are a group outside the ranks of the homeland. They are completely stripped of their Palestinian identity. Their blood is shed by all resistance factions. His forces are rejected by all the people of the free and dear Palestinian people. We will show no mercy to any of them or anyone who follows their path in aiding the Zionist enemy. We will deal with them in a manner befitting traitors and agents." They added: "In light of the Zionist war of extermination and starvation to which our great people are subjected at the hands of the criminal enemy, a renegade, traitorous group refuses to do anything but serve as a tool in the hands of the usurping occupier, exploiting the presence of enemy forces on the ground, armed with its weapons, and under its protection and supervision. Allah will not allow anything but to expose this gang affiliated with the traitorous agent known as "Yasser Abu Shabab," which was formed by the enemy army and whose political leadership admitted to arming and operating it in its service and in an attempt to protect its soldiers. This is in a desperate attempt to achieve some of what the enemy has been unable to achieve through its forces for more than twenty months." The factions affirmed that "the fate of these traitors is the dustbin of history, in addition to the stigma of shame and disgrace before Allah, their people, and their nation. They will cling like parasites to the tails of the enemy and its tanks when regret is of no avail, and the enemy will leave them like worn-out shoes behind it. This is a constant refrain of the miserable end that has been experienced by all traitors and agents throughout history, in every corner of the earth." They continued: "We highly value and are proud of the stances of the honorable Palestinian clans and families, who will not be harmed by the betrayal of a small, isolated, and renegade group of people who have sold themselves to Satan. These clans have declared their honorable stance, and we treat them with the utmost appreciation and respect, in accordance with the just divine rule: 'No soul shall bear the burden of another." The resistance factions concluded their statement by emphasizing that the Palestinian people "are highly aware and recognize the difference between paid agents and those who work to serve them." They added: "While we appreciate the extent of the suffering our people are experiencing, and we are part of them and at the heart of their suffering, they nevertheless reject betrayal, considering it the greatest of sins, rejecting it in every way, and disavowing anyone who commits it or approaches it."

Palestinian resistance brands Yasser Abu Shabab traitor
The Joint Operations Room of Palestinian resistance factions issued a strong condemnation of Yasser Abu Shabab and his group, accusing them of treason and direct collaboration with the Israeli Occupation forces. The statement came after Hebrew media cited an interview with Abu Shabab in which he allegedly openly admitted, 'We cooperate with the Israeli army,' and declared his goal to 'eradicate Hamas,' vowing to continue fighting even if a ceasefire is reached. He also claimed that 'Hamas is struggling and is in its final stages.' The resistance factions described Abu Shabab's group as 'tools in the hands of the occupier' and 'stripped of national identity.' They warned that the blood of these traitors is legitimate and pledged to deal with them harshly, cautioning others who follow their path that they 'will end up like their predecessors in the dustbins of history.' The statement also praised Palestinian clans and families in Gaza for refusing to support any collaborators, emphasizing respect for families while holding individuals accountable for their betrayal.
