Israeli military responds to crtiticism of ‘tactical pause’ plans: Report
According to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, the military has hit back at claims the government was left in the dark about its announced “tactical pause” along a Gaza aid corridor.
The decision, it claims, was made by the army’s Southern Command, in line with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s instructions to increase aid flow to the enclave, according to Haaretz.
Earlier, Israel’s Army Radio reported that neither Netanyahu nor Defence Minister Gallant had prior knowledge of the “tactical pause”, which is to take place every day from 8am to 7pm on a road in southern Gaza until further notice.
More than 9,300 Palestinians remain in Israeli prisons: Prisoners’ group

It has stressed that the total number does not include all the people Israel detained in Gaza, estimating that there are thousands.
Israeli prison authorities have announced the detention of 899 Palestinians from the enclave under the classification of an illegal fighter, the group said.
40,000 Muslims mark Eid at Al Aqsa Mosque, less than half of 2023’s figures
As we reported, more than 40,000 Muslims performed Eid al-Adha prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning.
According to Wafa news agency, Israeli forces assaulted worshippers both on their way to the mosque and as they were leaving, as tensions in the occupied West Bank remain high due to the war on Gaza.
But Sunday’s numbers pale in comparison to 2023’s estimate of 100,000 worshippers who managed to pray despite Israeli security forces’ aggression.
Last year, Israeli police stormed the holy compound, forcing people out of the Bab al-Rahma prayer area and arresting some, according to local sources.
