Monday, April 29, thirteen people died and numerous more were injured by Israeli airstrikes on three residences in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. It was affirmed by the medical team.
15 people have been reported dead by Hamas media outlets. According to the health officials, Israeli planes targeted two residences in Gaza City. Most are located in the northern part of the strip, killing and injuring many people.
The attacks on Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge after months of Israeli shelling, This attack occurred only hours before officials of the Palestinian organisation, Hamas, were scheduled to visit Egypt to negotiate the possibility of an agreement on a cease-fire with Israel.
Israeli officials claim that on October 7, terrorists from Hamas attacked Israel. In the process, killing almost 1,200 people and kidnapping 253 more. This attack set off the conflict.
In a military campaign that has claimed the lives of over 34,000 Palestinians—66 of them in the last 24 hours—Israel has pledged to destroy Hamas, the organisation in charge of Gaza. In this time of distress, the majority of around 2.3 million people have been forced to flee. As well, the majority of the enclave has been destroyed.
The Hamas authorities announced on Sunday that a team headed by deputy Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya would talk about Israel’s response to a ceasefire plan. The proposal was previously handed in by Hamas. It is presented to mediators from Qatar and Egypt. The mediators are quite assertively backed by the US. They intensified their attempts to resolve this as Israel has vowed to invade Rafah.
A source knowledgeable about the talks told Reuters that Hamas was expected to respond to Israel’s most recent truce request, which was given on Saturday. Two Hamas officials who spoke with the news agency Reuters did not reveal the specifics of the most recent proposals.
The official who talked to Reuters affirmed that this truce includes an agreement. This agreement traces back to accepting the release of less than 40 hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinians detained in Israeli jails. A second phase of a truce that includes a “period of sustained calm” is Israel’s compromise response to a demand from Hamas for a permanent ceasefire, according to the source. It also includes an agreement.
According to the source, Reuters, Israel would allow unrestricted travel between the south and north of Gaza after the first phase and would partially withdraw its forces from the region. The discussions between the Hamas team and the Qatari and Egyptian mediators will take place in Cairo on Monday, a senior Hamas source told Reuters. The purpose of the discussion is to examine the comments the group made over the Israeli response to its previous proposal.
Some comments published by Reuters indicate that, regarding Israel’s most recent request, Hamas might not respond to mediators right now.
