Hamas says it has accepted a proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the 22-month war sparked by its Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel. Israel has not yet responded and says it is still committed to defeating the militant group.

Hamas says it has agreed to a new Gaza ceasefire proposal as mediators from Qatar and Egypt push to renew talks ahead of a major Israeli assault on Gaza City.

As Israel expands operations in the enclave, Gazans increasingly voice defiance against Hamas, with dissenters risking their lives to demand freedom from the group’s grip.

Eliezer Marom warned that Israel cannot afford a partial deal with Hamas, stressing that only a full offensive or comprehensive agreement will prevent the terror group from regrouping.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that Israel should reject ceasefire deals with Hamas following an attempted raid by the terror group on an IDF encampment in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today. “Deals that surrender to kidnapping terror invite the next hostage-takings and endanger us all,” the far-right minister says in a post on X.

Hamas accepted the latest proposal for a Gaza ceasefire amid urging from Arab officials and other Palestinian factions, which want to avert Israeli escalation.

ISRAEL has revealed its plans to conquer Gaza City in a final push to wipe out the entirety of Hamas and secure the remaining hostages. Operation Gideon’s Chariots II is set to get underway

Footage from this morning’s Hamas attack on an IDF encampment in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis shows a tank of the 74th Armored Battalion ramming into an RPG-wielding operative. The operative was killed before managing to fire, according to an army probe.
