Thousands of Israelis demonstrate to demand prisoner exchange deal
Basant Ahmed Thousands of Israelis demonstrated, demanding a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas and an end to the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip. Demonstrations took place in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem after Israeli forces surrounded a location where captive Matan Zangauker was being held in the Gaza Strip, and the demonstrations emphasized that "the enemy will not be able to recover him alive." In Tel Aviv, thousands participated in the demonstration, including families of Israeli prisoners, denouncing the failure of Benjamin Netanyahu's government to reach a deal to restore their sons. Demonstrators held up signs bearing slogans calling for an agreement to release the prisoners immediately and for a halt to the war on the Gaza Strip. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Eid strikes in Gaza: Israel kills and injures dozens as health system collapses
Shafaq News/ On the third day of Eid al-Adha, Israel escalated its military campaign across Gaza, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians—including near aid distribution centers—amid mounting warnings of a looming collapse in the Strip's medical system. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health's latest update, the overall death toll has reached 54,772, with 125,834 injuries since October 7, 2023. Over the past 48 hours, hospitals received 10 fatalities and more than 110 injured from areas near humanitarian aid zones. The cumulative toll from strikes targeting aid sites has surpassed 110 dead and more than 1,000 wounded. Among Sunday's attacks, Arab media indicated that four Palestinians were killed and more than 70 injured in a strike near a US-affiliated aid center west of Rafah. A drone attack on displaced families' tents in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, killed five, including two children. Additional casualties were reported after airstrikes hit the Maan area east of Khan Younis and Jabalia town in the north. Artillery shelling struck the Al-Atatra area in Beit Lahiya, wounding a child and an elderly man. Two Palestinians were also injured in Abasan, east of Khan Younis, following a drone attack. Israeli helicopter gunships reportedly opened fire on homes in central Gaza, while ground forces demolished residential buildings east of Jabalia camp. Airstrikes targeted the northeast al-Tuffah neighborhood, though casualty figures remain unknown. Amid the bombardment, Gaza's health authorities issued stark warnings. 'We are approaching mass death,' said the general director of the Health Ministry in an interview with al-Jazeera, accusing Israel of systematically destroying Gaza's healthcare system to facilitate forced displacement and settlement expansion. Gaza's hospitals are running out of fuel, with officials confirming they may shut down within 48 hours. 'Hospitals are operating on strict electricity rationing. The world must act immediately to save Gaza,' the head of field hospitals told al-Jazeera. 'Malnutrition is now widespread, and the population has entered a critical stage.' The situation is particularly dire in Khan Younis, where 650,000 residents rely solely on the Nasser Medical Complex. The director of Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital also warned that kidney dialysis units are no longer functioning due to repeated Israeli attacks. Separately, Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, issued an urgent warning regarding Israeli soldier Matan Zangauker, held by the group. He claimed Israeli forces are surrounding the location and cautioned that "the enemy will not retrieve the captive alive; if he is killed during the raid, the Israeli army will be responsible."

Israeli mother pleads for her son as body of Thai hostage recovered
Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage abducted into the Gaza Strip during the Hamas-led attack that sparked the war, as the families of hostages still in the territory pleaded for a ceasefire to allow their relatives to come home. Israel's military continued its offensive on Saturday, killing at least 95 people in 24 hours, according to Gaza's health ministry, with hospital workers saying six people were killed while trying to get aid. More than 80 people have been killed over the past two weeks in shootings near new aid hubs, where thousands of desperate Palestinians are now being directed to collect food from a controversial group backed by Israel and the United States. Fifty-five hostages remain in Gaza and Israel says more than half are dead. Hamas issued an unusual warning about one hostage, Matan Zangauker, saying Israel's military had surrounded the area where he was held and that any harm that came to him during a rescue attempt would be Israel's responsibility. Israel's military didn't immediately comment. Families rallied again in Israel on Saturday evening (Sunday AEST), calling for a ceasefire deal to bring everyone home, including Zangauker's mother, Einav. 'The decision to expand the [military] ground manoeuvre is at the cost of Matan's life and the lives of all the hostages,' she told the rally in Tel Aviv. The Thai hostage whose body was recovered on Saturday was named as Nattapong Pinta. He had come to Israel to work in agriculture. Israel's government said he was seized from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed early in the war, which began on October 7, 2023. Thailand's foreign ministry said the bodies of two other Thai citizens were yet to be retrieved. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive. Many lived on the outskirts of southern Israeli kibbutzim and towns, the first places overrun in the attack. Forty-six Thais have been killed during the war, according to the foreign ministry. Israel's defence minister said Pinta's body was retrieved from the Rafah area in southern Gaza. The army said he was seized by the Mujahideen Brigades, the small armed group that also took two Israeli-American hostages, Judith Weinstein and Gad Haggai, whose bodies were also retrieved on Thursday.
