Ethiopia’s continued existence is indispensable to Israeli security since Egypt’s exploitation of a “Balkanized” Ethiopia’s natural resource wealth, which could follow the Hybrid War that Egypt is masterminding against Ethiopia, could eventually empower Egypt to become an existential threat to Israel (once again).

On 3 October 2026, Israeli forces bombed one of the few remaining buildings in Gaza instantly killing two mothers and two daughters: Maysaa Khader Ibrahim Abu Daoud and her daughter, Maria (both Christian) and Dr. Yasmin Al-Boubo (Khamis) and her daughter Halloum (both Muslim).

Israeli forces killed at least 10 Palestinians in Gaza over the past three days, according to numbers from Gaza’s Health Ministry, as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.
In that same time, at least five Palestinians died of wounds sustained by previous Israeli attacks, and one body was recovered from the rubble, bringing the number of fatalities added to the death toll over three days to 16.
