Media affiliated to Hamas said explosions and gunfire could be head in the northern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of the truce deadline. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report and there was no immediate comment from Israel or Hamas. Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israel was open to continuing the ceasefire if Hamas committed to further hostage releases. Israel had previously set the release of 10 hostages a day as the minimum it would accept to pause its assault.

[1/9] People take part in a demonstration after the Tel Aviv police chief quit citing government meddling against anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv, Israel, July 5, 2023. Soon after Eshed's announcement, hundreds of protesters carrying Israeli flags and chanting "democracy" marched through Tel Aviv. "I could have easily met these expectations by using unreasonable force that would have filled up the emergency room of Ichilov (Tel Aviv hospital) at the end of every protest," Eshed said. The leader of the Jewish Power party has since rebuked police for its treatment of protesters. Other members of Netanyahu's nationalist-religious coalition have echoed Ben-Gvir, saying police have shown favourable treatment to the protesters who have filled Tel Aviv streets weekly since January, compared with what they see as far harsher treatment of settlers and ultra-Orthodox protesters.

[1/4] Amit Becher and other private Israeli lawyers protest Netanyahu's government court reform in what they call "a political threat to the judicial system and democracy" outside the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel January 12, 2023. The Israel Bar Association provides two of the Judicial Appointments Committee's nine members. The others are a mix of Supreme Court justices, cabinet ministers and parliamentarians meant to encourage give-and-take in bench picks. Becher denies having a partisan objective, saying lawyers of all stripes back his pledge to prevent a "political takeover by the government of the Judicial Appointments Committee". The coalition argues that the reforms would balance out the branches of government, and plans on Wednesday to begin work on a fresh bill to limit some Supreme Court powers.

JERUSALEM, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) faces a class action suit in Israel after a court ruled in favour of petitioners seeking compensation from the German carmaker over diesel emissions cheating. A Tel Aviv district court ruled that the class action suit will represent the car owners as well as the general public who were exposed to higher pollution levels, according to a court spokesperson and court documents. The Israeli court ruling did not include the damages being sought and Michael Bach, one of the lawyers who brought the suit, said they are still tallying the number of car owners affected in Israel and calculating the environmental cost. Volkswagen has so far spent more than 32 billion euros in vehicle refits, fines and legal costs. read moreRegister now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterReporting by Ari Rabinovitch; Editing by Alexander SmithOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
