SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW GAZA, PALESTINE (OCTOBER 10, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) GAZA, PALESTINE - OCTOBER 10, 2025: Thousands of displaced Palestinians started returning from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City via Al-Rashid Street on Friday, after the Israeli army said Palestinians are allowed to move via the Al-Rashid and Salah al-Din roads. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces struck parts of the return route along Al-Rashid Street, causing panic among civilians. Israel announced on Friday that the ceasefire agreement came into effect at noon (0900GMT) today. The Israeli government approved an agreement to end the genocidal war in Gaza and exchange prisoners with Palestinian factions in a statement issued early Friday by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office. A ceasefire became effective immediately after Israel's approval, according to Israeli media. On Sept. 29, Trump unveiled a 20-point ceasefire plan for Gaza that includes the release of all Israeli captives in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire, and a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli forces from the entire Gaza Strip. A second phase of the plan calls for the establishment of a new governing mechanism in Gaza without the Palestinian group Hamas’ participation, the formation of a security force comprising Palestinians and troops from Arab and Islamic countries, and the disarmament of Hamas. It also stipulates Arab and Islamic funding for the new administration and the reconstruction of the strip, with limited participation from the Palestinian Authority. Arab and Muslim countries have, by and large, welcomed the plan, but some officials have also said that many details in it need discussion and negotiations to be fully implemented. Since October 2023, Israeli genocide has killed nearly 67,200 Palestinians in the enclave, most of them women and children, and rendered it uninhabitable.
