Palestinian media on October 28 extensively reported on escalating Israeli military operations in Gaza. Early morning reports detailed Israeli military operations in the West Bank, particularly near Jenin, where three Palestinians were assassinated in air raids and clashes. Concurrently, reports persisted regarding Israel receiving a captive's body from Gaza, with conflicting information on its identity and threats of retaliation against Hamas. By early afternoon, reports indicated Israel's refusal to allow Red Cross and Hamas teams into eastern Gaza to search for other captive bodies. Later in the afternoon and evening, the focus shifted dramatically to intensified Israeli military operations in Gaza, with Netanyahu reportedly ordering strong attacks and an expansion of controlled areas, leading to numerous casualties and a breach of the ceasefire.
