On 22 October, peacekeepers on duty at a permanent observation post near Dhayra were observing IDF soldiers conducting house clearing operations nearby. Upon realizing they were being observed, the IDF soldiers fired at the post. The duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot.

Tommie Gorman, veteran journalist and legendary broadcaster has died at the age of 68. Tommie retired from RTÉ in April 2021 after working in RTÉ for more than 40 years. At the time of his retirement he was RTÉ News’s Northern Editor. "Tommie was a cherished husband, father, brother, and friend whose innate kindness and generosity of spirit touched the lives of all who knew him," his family said. "His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us every day." Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
