At approximately 1800 GMT, Israeli media reported that Israel's Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant stated that Israel had “control of the area, and we are moving to a full offense”. The Times of Israel reported that a Knesset (Israel's parliament) spokesperson stated there would be no delay to the Knesset's opening session on 16 October after a summer recess. Israel remains under martial law, issuing directives to the public through the Israel Defense Force's (IDF) Homefront Command. As of 10 October, there continues to be ongoing discussions regarding the formation of an emergency government incorporating members of the Knesset from opposition parties. On 10 October, Israel's Likud party stated that there had been major progress on the formation of an emergency government.

Operation Swords of Iron​

At approximately 1900 h local time the Times of Israel reported that the total number of Israeli solders killed since the start of Operation Al Aqsa Flood had risen to 156.
As of 1800 GMT the IDF was continuing to conduct a large number of strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip. Please see the section below on IAF statements for updates on strikes in the Gaza Strip.

Hostages​

Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have claimed to have hostages. On 10 October, Hamas threatened to execute prisoners if Israel fails to provide warning prior to conducting strikes. The process of informing Gazans of airstrikes is colloquially known as a “knock on the roof”. The previous day, on 9 October, Israeli media reported that the process was not being applied at the time.
As of the time of writing, the total number of foreign citizens being held captive by Palestinian militants has not been confirmed.
At approximately 0630 on 10 October, the Associated Press stated that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was in discussions with both Hamas and Israeli officials about accessing prisoners but had not gained access to them.

Gaza Strip and Southern Israel​

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced at approximately 1530 GMT, that 849 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli military operations and 4,250 had been injured since the start of operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
On 9 October, the United Nations stated in a daily press briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General that more than 120,000 Gazans had been displaced from their homes.
Hamas affiliated media continued to report that Hamas militants were attempting to infiltrate into Israel. The IDF also claimed at approximately 1700 GMT that they had killed militants attempting to infiltrate into Israeli communities, supporting these claims.
Other Gaza-based Palestinian militant groups claimed to take part in the conflict, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, and the Palestinian Mujahideen Brigades.

Rocket launches​

Throughout 10 October, Palestinian militants have continued to launch rockets from the Gaza Strip directed at targets across Israel. The IDF released a press statement on social media at approximately 1100 h local time that the Hamas had launched 4,500 rockets at Israel since the start of Al Aqsa Flood.
At approximately 1500 h local time, the Al-Qassem Brigades released a statement on their website that the IDF were deliberately displacing Gazans and that they would conduct rocket attacks against Ashkelon to force citizens there to relocate. The statement said “the occupation does not stop the policy of displacing civilians, the Qassam Brigades will continue to bomb the city of Ashkelon until it is displaced, then it will move on to displace another city.”

West Bank​

As of 10 October, there remains a significant risk of widespread violence in the West Bank. There is a significant risk that cyclical violence will accelerate in the immediate term. At approximately 1730 local time, the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that 19 Palestinians had been killed and 110 had been wounded since the start of Al Aqsa flood.
Many of the main roads remain closed in the West Bank to reduce traffic flows between towns. As of 1900 GMT, a source in Ramallah told Janes that the streets in the city were generally quiet with some ongoing small demonstrations. In addition, businesses and schools in the West Bank continue to be closed reducing the number of large gatherings of students which Janes understands Palestinian Authority (PA) officials are concerned about. Janes understands that there is public concern about fuel shortages in the West Bank as this is primarily imported from Israel.
Arrest operations in the West Bank by the IDF have continued although Janes understands that these are being conducted at a comparatively lower rate than during other major conflicts with Gaza.
The Fatah associated Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (AAMB) announced on social media on 10 October that its fighters were engaging Israeli security forces in the West Bank. In addition, PIJ stated it had conducted an attack against Israeli military forces in Beit Ummar, near Hebron.

Hizbullah and the northern border​

As of 10 October, tensions continue to be high along the Israeli border with ongoing clashes between Hizbullah militants and Israeli forces. At approximately 1830 local time, Hizbullah launched rockets from Lebanon targeting the area around Shlomi in northern Israel. In response Israeli forces conducted attacks against Hizbullah positions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
At approximately 2130 h local time, Hizbullah affiliated Al Manar stated that Hizbullah had destroyed a “Zelda-type” vehicle, likely making the target an Israeli M113.
Statement by United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) – 1445 h local time: “Despite some very challenging days and concerning events, the situation in UNIFIL's area of operations is currently stable, although volatile. Exchanges of fire between Lebanese territory and Israel have fortunately not escalated into conflict. We are doing our utmost to ensure that escalation does not happen. Our peacekeepers remain in their positions and on task. We have increased patrols and operations to help detect rocket launches through our radar capabilities. Our activities are coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces, and many are conducted together with them. We have actively engaged with authorities on both sides of the Blue Line to de-escalate the situation and avoid misunderstandings. Peacekeepers continue their essential work, though this has at times been from shelters for their safety. Our main goal is to help avoid conflict between Lebanon and Israel, and any event that brings conflict closer is a concern. Our focus is on maintaining security and stability in the area. We have fully engaged our liaison and coordination mechanisms at all levels, to help avoid misunderstandings between Lebanon and Israel that could lead to an escalation of the conflict. This is our main focus at the moment, and we are working 24/7 to accomplish it.”

United States​

As of the time of writing there is no confirmation that the United States Carrier Strike Group had arrived in proximity of the Eastern Mediterranean.
The United States announced on 8 October that it would be sending the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean.

Global protests​

Since 7 October, civilians and religious groups held rallies in favour of Israel and Palestine. Janes recorded 32 protests and riots from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States. In the countries of Canada, France, Germany, India, United Kingdom, and the United States, civilians held rallies supporting Israel and Palestine. Whereas, in Argentina's Buenos Aires, civilians held a rally in support of Israel. Countries with a large Islamic population held rallies in support of Palestine. Janes recorded three protests outside the Israel's diplomatic missions in Turkey, and United States. India deployed security personnel outside the Embassy of Israel in New Delhi to prevent any civil unrest or protests against Israel.

Global economic effects​

The response of markets to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has been largely muted, indicating expectations that matters will remain confined to Israel's borders. Israel's benchmark stock market index, the Tel Aviv 35 (TA-35) fell 7% on opening following the commencement of hostilities, but subsequently regained some ground. Likewise, the Israeli Shekel dipped by 3% prior to plateauing. The price of crude oil, which also spiked on fears of broader instability in the region, also settled following an initial jump. The broader outlook will depend on the direction taken by hostilities and whether market expectations of a contained conflict are met.
It is inevitable, however, that events so far will subdue Israel's domestic economic activity. Sporadic rocket fire has disrupted business activity while the call-up of IDF reserves will have an inevitable impact on the availability of manpower and patterns of consumption in at least the short term.

I believe it is a very intelligent critique which is only ironically weaponizing racism since the radical Hindu religion demonizes blackness. Radical Hindus who would want to cry that the tweet is being unfairly racist will have to contend with the racism inherent in their religion:

Jewish satanic evil people lied about this to justify genocide. It doesn't matter that they backpedaled. No one will notice. Jewish satanic tribe is evil and a enemy of humanity. Never trust anything coming out of a Jew.

This people lied against Prophet Isa and Prophet Mohammed in same way. Prophet Mohammed our master dealt with these evil satanic accursed creatures.

Supporting Hamas and parallelly acting victim is plan hypocrisy

Gaza is not that big, arms smuggling, assembling of rockets, training of 1000s of fighters cannot go unnoticed. A common palestenian is a silent partner is this crime.

all the bloodshed / bombing could have been avoided if responsible citizens of palestine shared this intel to the authorities / government. IDF would have taken care of trouble makers and both parties would not have suffered loss of innocent civilians.

seeking peace and simultaneously supporting terror is not possible
