A Bulldozer Is Used In Search Of Bodies Of Israeli Hostages - Gaza

An excavator is used in search of bodies of Israeli hostages in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, on Oct. 17, 2025. Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said on Sunday that it had found the body of an Israeli hostage during ongoing search operations in the Gaza Strip, adding that it would hand it over "when field conditions allow." The group said that current field conditions, including the presence of Israeli forces and sporadic exchanges of fire in some areas, have complicated efforts to recover and transfer the body safely. Al-Qassam warned that any new Israeli escalation "would obstruct the ongoing search, excavation, and recovery operations, and delay the occupation's retrieval of its soldiers' bodies."

Alfalfa Planting Demonstration Base - China

An aerial drone photo taken on September 9, 2025 shows farmers adding alfalfa seeds to a planter at an alfalfa planting base in Cele County of Hotan Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Alfalfa planting has provided stable forage supply for the local animal husbandry. Meanwhile, a "cooperative plus enterprise" development mode made it possible to establish a complete industrial chain of alfalfa planting, processing and sales in Hotan, which not only helped to build an ecological barrier, but also boosted income of farmers.
