First images of some of the 1,700+ Palestinian hostages freed by Israel returning to Gaza today. Many had been held in military camps under cruel and inhumane conditions, deprived of medical care and food. Some endured severe torture and neglect that led to permanent injuries, including amputations.

🔴 BREAKING: Al-Araby TV reports that the Palestinian resistance succeeded in securing the release of resistance icons Adham Kamamji and Mahmoud Issa among others as part of the upcoming prisoner exchange deal. Negotiators reportedly said the Palestinian resistance had pressed for the inclusion of...

Before the escape, Kamamji had been serving a life sentence since 2007 for the kidnapping and killing of an Israeli settler, Eliyahu Asheri. His 2021 breakout — and later re-arrest in Jenin — turned him into a national symbol of defiance.

“My cell is one meter by one meter in length,” Kamamji later wrote from prison, “and for its width, add another half meter. The free refuse to be chained. And the hawk despises the humiliation of sheep”

this is what it was always about. this is what it was all for. freedom & reunification of families. unfortunately, not all Palestinian hostages & political prisoners will return to their families still living.

Enough gawking! Enough theorizing! Help a freed Palestinian prisoner who lost his family get a tent!!!

KhaledNurseGaza on twitter: My friend is being released today—after more than a year and two months in the prisons of the occupation.
He was imprisoned only because he refused to leave his home in northern Gaza. He never carried a weapon, never joined a fight; he simply wanted to stay in his own house, in peace.

But he doesn’t know yet…
He doesn’t know that his home has been reduced to ashes, that his brother, sister, and her children were all killed. He will walk out of prison searching for them—and find no one. He will return to nothing. No roof, no walls, not even a corner to shelter his grief.

That’s why I decided to raise just $1,000 for him—a small amount that might buy him a tent, a blanket, a piece of dignity after everything he’s lost.
Please, help me give him a tiny beginning in a world that took everything from him.
Because nothing is more painful than stepping into freedom, only to find that freedom has no place left to go.

19 hours left ⚠️ I want to emphasize how obvious it is that survival funds—any of them—only get attention when the “right” kind of news hits western audiences. Palestinians have to suffer correctly for us to care about their lives? Do I have that right?

I just don’t care if this is “shaming.” 7/879

Even in a ruthless capitalistic context this is weird behaviour. It really disincentivizes me from using the platform. I already get an equal amount of transphobic harassment on here. On Twitter it's Nazis and here it's liberal cryptonazis

Israeli forces attacked Doctors Without Borders workers—who were all wearing marked medical vests.

They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family.

He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.

This morning, 2 October 2025, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others.
The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces in Deir Al Balah.
Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
Omar was a quiet man of profound kindness and utter professionalism. Since June 2018, he had worked as an occupational therapist at an MSF clinic in Gaza City, dedicating his life to restoring strength and dignity to thousands of patients.
He remained in Gaza City before finally evacuating south on 13 September due to relentless attacks and forced displacement from Israeli forces, who claimed people would find safety there. Instead, he was killed at a bus stop on his way to work.
Omar was the sole provider for his family since his father passed away and his young brother was killed.
Multiple healthcare workers, MSF family members and MSF staff were also seriously injured in the attack this morning, including a physiotherapist, orthopaedic surgeon, supply officer and a finance assistant. One of our staff is in critical condition with shrapnel wounds.
In the moment of the attack, our colleagues were on their way to work amidst the ongoing relentless Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Health workers in Gaza have been killed, threatened or detained, including Dr Mohamed Obeid, an MSF surgeon still in detention with no formal charges.
While hundreds of thousands of people continue to be pushed from north Ga…

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.

Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.

Rest Free, Assata.
