Up to twenty people have been killed in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. According to the army, a senior member of the Islamist Hamas was killed. The terrorist organization has now announced that it is ready for a ceasefire – but only under the known conditions.
Any agreement must lead to an end to the war and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Palestinian territory, a Hamas politburo member said on Wednesday. The terrorist organization also demands that Palestinian prisoners be released from Israeli prisons. In return, she would return 100 hostages to Israel. According to estimates, only one in two people is still alive.
The Israeli army wants to keep its troops in strategic positions in the closed coastal strip. According to the Hamas Politburo, the willingness to conclude an agreement with Israel has already been communicated to mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
Armistice “Success for the resistance”
The ceasefire in Lebanon is “a victory and a great success for the resistance.” Hamas respects Hezbollah’s decision, but the Palestinian people are not willing to give up their resistance against Israel, despite the suffering in the Gaza Strip.
Despite this statement, the international mediators are on board (see video above). US President Joe Biden wants to start working on an agreement on Wednesday, says national security adviser Jake Sullivan. The envoys would contact actors in the region. The Qatari Foreign Ministry also hopes “for a similar agreement to end the ongoing war in Gaza and Israeli attacks on the occupied West Bank.”
After the ceasefire came into effect in Lebanon, armed conflict in the Palestinian Gaza Strip continues unabated. According to Hamas, up to twenty Palestinians have been killed in new Israeli attacks. The Israeli army said it had killed a senior Hamas member in an attack on a former school building in Gaza. He led and carried out attacks on Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. The information provided by both parties could not be independently verified.
44,200 deaths since the start of the war
Hamas’ health authority said more than 44,200 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the war began. More than 194,700 others were injured. The information does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
