the Gaza Strip. The fuel was supplied to the power plant in Gaza and is expected to contribute to the site’s operations; it is also expected to supply the needs of the power plant for two days. Additionally, 10 tankers containing cooking gas entered the strip.
Throughout the day, the Gaza Strip has been under continuous attack from Israeli forces. The Air Force and artillery have been utilized in the ongoing attacks, with a focus on locating information about abductees, terrorists, and command and control rooms. The IDF has also announced its efforts to uncover underground tunnels in the area.
The Israeli government has also been involved in negotiations regarding the release of hostages, with Hamas setting new conditions for a potential deal. Reports indicate that the proposal includes the release of hostages in exchange for a ceasefire, the release of prisoners, and the increased supply of fuel into the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, international diplomatic efforts have also been active, with US President Joe Biden publishing an article in the Washington Post advocating for the unification of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank under a restored Palestinian Authority.
The IDF has suffered casualties during the ongoing conflict, with the announcement of the deaths of several soldiers. In addition to the military casualties, a Tanzanian citizen who was believed to have been kidnapped in the Gaza Strip was confirmed dead by the Tanzanian government. The circumstances surrounding his death are still unclear.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, the situation in the north of Israel has also been closely monitored, with Defense Minister Galant emphasizing the importance of securing the northern region and responding to any potential threats from Hezbollah.
The conflict shows no signs of abating as both sides continue to engage in military operations and negotiations in an effort to bring about an end to the violence.
