The Israeli military’s overnight assault on Gaza, including an attack on tents housing displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi killed at least seven Palestinians.
Now, the Palestinian Information Center and the Quds News Network, citing medical sources in Gaza, report that Israeli attacks have killed at least 18 people across the besieged enclave in the five hours since midnight.
The Hamas ally said on Saturday that it supports plans for talks between the Palestinian group and Israel on a truce in Gaza, but demanded “guarantees” that the process would lead to a permanent ceasefire.
“We presented [Hamas] a number of detailed points on the mechanism for putting in place the mediators’ proposal, and we want additional guarantees to assure us [that Israel] will not resume its aggression after [the captives] are freed,” Islamic Jihad said in a statement.
Hamas has handed a positive response to the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal to mediators.
