Watch: Hamas fighter throws explosive device at Israeli vehicle amid explosions
ALBAWABA - An Israeli public television station showed a dramatic video of a brave Palestinian resistance fighter attacking an Israeli military car in northern Gaza by himself. The fighter can be seen running at the stopped car, throwing explosives inside it, and then running away without getting hurt.Right after the attack, fires quickly spread from the car to the surrounding area, filling it with thick black smoke. Israeli news outlets say the video shows a larger operation in which Palestinian fighters attacked Israeli troops in the northern Gaza Strip. One of the fighters is said to have fired an RPG at the vehicle.Meanwhile, more reports said that Palestinian armed men came out of caves and fought fiercely with Israeli troops in Khan Younis, which is in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
In a different well-known event, a Hamas member from the Al-Qassam Brigades broke into an Israeli military zone that was heavily guarded in Khan Younis. The fighter got on top of an armored personnel carrier and threw an explosive called a "Shawaz" into the cockpit before running away. There were seven Israeli troops killed in that ambush.

These attacks are part of a larger rise in operations by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. Groups in Khan Younis, Shuja'iyya, and Jabalia are all targeting Israeli troops. Israeli troops have been killed and hurt in the operations, which is a major escalation in the war that is already going on.

Abbas says Hamas won't govern Gaza once ceasefire begins
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday that Hamas will not be allowed to govern the Gaza Strip in the post-war period, stressing that the group must disarm and commit to the political program of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). 'Hamas must hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority and engage in political work under a unified legal system, one authority, one law, and one legitimate weapon,' Abbas said during a meeting with former British Prime Minister and ex-Quartet envoy Tony Blair in Amman, Jordan. The remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, with Abbas reiterating the need for an immediate halt to hostilities, the release of all captives and detainees, and the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave. President Abbas emphasized that the only viable solution is a full 'Israeli' withdrawal from Gaza and the empowerment of the Palestinian state to assume full responsibilities in the territory with strong Arab and international support. He also called for an end to all unilateral 'Israeli' actions, including settlement expansion, annexation attempts, and repeated assaults on Islamic and Christian holy sites. Abbas renewed his call for a serious political process based on international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, advocating for the convening of an international peace conference in New York to implement the two-state solution. At the conclusion of the meeting, the two sides agreed to continue coordination and engagement with relevant parties to end the war and promote regional peace and stability.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad demand full 'Israeli' withdrawal in any Gaza ceasefire deal
Hamas and Islamic Jihad said Sunday that any negotiations to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip must result in a complete end to the war, the full withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces, the reopening of border crossings, and the start of reconstruction efforts. In a joint statement, Hamas said a delegation led by Mohamed Darwish, head of the movement's leadership council, met with Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah to discuss the latest 'Israeli' responses to proposals put forward by mediators and how to respond to them. The statement reaffirmed the two factions' unified position that any agreement must end the ongoing war and address the humanitarian and political consequences of 'Israel's' continued assault on the enclave. Earlier Sunday, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to criticism over the captives deal negotiations. In comments to Israeli media, Netanyahu denied claims that his government rejected a proposed agreement, saying, 'They [the media] always echo Hamas propaganda, and they are always wrong. We accepted the deal—the one from US envoy Steve Witkoff, and then the revised version proposed by the mediators. We accepted it. Hamas rejected it.' Netanyahu claimed Hamas's goal is to stay in Gaza and wait for 'Israeli' forces to withdraw so it can rearm and launch further attacks. 'I will not accept this,' he said. 'I'm doing everything I can to bring our hostages home. I meet with their families, I know their pain and suffering, and I'm determined to bring them back and eliminate Hamas.'

Superman 2025 sparks debate: fans say Netanyahu look alike, Gaza parallels are no coincidence
ALBAWABA - New Superman film draws controversy over scenes resembling Gaza conflict. The new "Superman" movie from director James Gunn has sparked heated debates online. A lot of people who watch it say it has political messages that are against the war between Israel and Gaza. The story is about a high-tech military attack on citizens that happens through a border fence. Some people say that these scenes are like recent events that happened in real life. Superman Instagram profile A review from a user on the well-known film review site Letterboxd has been seen 9 million times. The review caused a stir when it said that the movie showed "Israel's actions in Gaza in a blunt and direct way." Gunn or anyone in the group has not said that the movie is about the Gaza war. Still, a lot of people watch the movie to think about what's going on in the Strip. That the movie "deals with politics and morals" was something Gunn said to The Times. After calling it an "immigrant story," people who support President Trump's strict immigration policies spoke out against him. Some strong similarities can be seen in how the story unfolds. The story starts about three weeks after Superman steps in to stop Boravia, a made-up US ally, from striking Garhanpur, a country next door. Boravia seems to have a strong navy that is backed by the US. Garhanpur, on the other hand, seems like a weak state that doesn't have the right defenses. The movie shows the Boravia plan as a way to get rid of the Garhanpur natives so that Boravia can take over more land. In one scene, Lois Lane, a reporter, talks to Superman. He backs Boravia and says that the bloodshed that happens afterward might be caused by leaders in Garhanpur who don't have any checks and balances in place. As more scenes show Garhanpuris gathering near the fence that separates the two places, the argument gets more heated. As they move toward the fence, groups of men, women, and children hold sticks and stones. Boravian troops on the other side point their rifles straight at them. Some people think that these scenes, which show attacks on citizens through a metal wall, are very much like what is happening in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP) Netanyahu's Double Vasyl Glarkus, who is the boss of Boravia and is played by Zlatko Boric, looks a lot like Benjamin Netanyahu, who is the prime minister of Israel. Lex Luthor, the movie's main bad guy, teams up with Glarkus. Author of comic books John Byrne once said that in the 1980s, Lex Luthor was based on Donald Trump. In the movie, Lex Luthor is shown to be the reason for the fight. The people of Garhanpur see his plan to take over part of the city as an attempt to force them to leave.
