31.08.2025The day Abu Obeida's assassination was announced and West Bank annexation advanced
Palestinian media extensively reported the claimed assassination of resistance leader Abu Obeida, with an Israeli minister confirming the targeting and official sources announcing his death mid-day. This was followed by Israeli officials vowing to pursue all Hamas leaders abroad, including "Hudhayfa Al-Kahlout" (Abu Obeida).
Concurrently, details emerged regarding "Trump's plan" for post-war Gaza, published in American newspapers, suggesting a temporary American administration, "smart resorts," and "voluntary" population resettlement for compensation. This developed alongside a strong focus on Israel's declared intent to annex the West Bank, reportedly communicated to Washington and viewed as a response to international recognition of a Palestinian state. Fatah warned against such annexation.
The ongoing "genocidal war" in Gaza, on its 695th day, continued with reports of massacres, 80 martyrs, 339 starvation deaths, and a severe flu outbreak among children.
