Despite international calls for a ceasefire, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their airstrikes, conducting over 130 attacks in the last 48 hours, targeting areas including Gaza City and refugee camps.

The offensive, initiated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on September 16, aims to defeat the militant group Hamas, with warnings issued for civilians to evacuate combat zones.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared that those remaining in Gaza will be considered combatants, further escalating the situation.

Massive protests erupted in Turkey in response to the Israeli military actions, with over 250,000 people marching in Istanbul.

The demonstrators expressed solidarity with Palestinian resistance and condemned Israel's actions.

The march also showed support for the "Global Sumud" humanitarian flotilla activists, who were detained by Israeli authorities.

Some activists reported harsh treatment, including imprisonment without basic necessities, denial of legal counsel, and torture.

The Turkish Humanitarian Aid Foundation plans to file legal complaints against Israel and vows to continue flotilla efforts.

Solidarity protests also took place across all 81 districts of Turkey.

The international community is closely monitoring the situation as indirect ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas are set to begin in Egypt.

The US has introduced a 20-point peace plan calling for an immediate ceasefire and the release of 20 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of detained Gazans.

Hamas has stated it agreed to release the hostages but provided no further details.

US President Donald Trump expressed optimism that the hostages would be freed soon, with mediators scheduled to hold indirect peace talks in Egypt between Hamas and Israel.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with most of the population repeatedly displaced and over 90% of homes damaged or destroyed.

The ongoing mass violence has led to severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies, exacerbating the suffering of civilians.

The blockade imposed by Israel has further restricted access to essential goods and humanitarian aid.

The international community has called for an immediate end to the blockade and for humanitarian corridors to be established to provide relief to the affected population.
