10 days before Oct. 7, PM ordered Israel ‘act to contain, minimize the escalation’ in Gaza — report

Ten days before October 7, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered Israel to act to contain and minimize escalation in Gaza, according to a report by The Times of Israel. This directive came after the Egyptian intelligence chief warned of a potential Hamas escalation and advised Israel to make concessions to the terror group.

The Israeli army has killed 262 Palestinian journalists and injured 433 others since its offensive began in the Gaza Strip in 2023, as reported by the Gaza's Government Media Office, as cited by Daily Times.

Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya expressed skepticism about the possibility of change from Israel's upcoming election, stating that Israelis would likely campaign using Gaza's "blood" as a rallying cry, as reported by Middle East Eye.
