At least 25 Palestinians, including multiple women and children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes throughout the Gaza Strip, as reported by three hospitals on Monday. These attacks occurred almost a week following Israel’s termination of their truce with Hamas, which was initiated unexpectedly and resulted in hundreds of casualties.

In the meantime, authorities report that Egypt has presented a fresh plan aimed at reviving the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

An Egyptian official stated on Monday that Hamas has agreed to free five live captives, one of whom is both American and Israeli, in exchange for Israel permitting humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip and halting hostilities for several weeks. Additionally, Israel will let loose numerous Palestinian detainees.

A representative from Hamas stated that the organization had “shown positive sentiment” towards the proposal but did not provide further details. The officials who shared this information insisted on remaining anonymous as they were not permitted to address the press regarding these private discussions.

Thousands are trapped in Rafah in southern Gaza as Israeli forces encircle part of it

Many individuals are stuck in the city of Rafah within the southern Gaza Strip as Israeli forces have surrounded a section of it since Sunday, according to statements made by Palestinian authorities.

Israel instructed the residents of the Tel al-Sultan district to evacuate, directing them to depart via a specific path on foot towards Muwasi, which consists of extensive clusters of tents along the shoreline.

Many people escaped, however locals stated that numerous individuals were encircled by Israeli forces.

The Rafah municipality stated on Monday that thousands remained stranded, including emergency personnel from the Civil Defense, part of the Hamas-led administration, as well as members of the Palestinian Red Crescent.

The Israeli Defense Minister states they are making efforts to prevent civilian casualties.

Israel’s defense minister stated that they are attempting to prevent civilian casualties while targeting Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip.

Israel Katz made his remarks almost a week following Israel terminated its truce with Hamas, subsequently initiating an unexpected series of attacks that resulted in hundreds of Palestinian casualties, primarily comprising women and children, as reported by local healthcare providers.

Katz stated on Monday that “Israel is not engaged in combat with civilians in Gaza and is taking all measures required by international law to minimize harm to non-combatants.”

He proceeded to hold Hamas responsible for all civilian casualties, stating that the militant organization “operates while dressed as civilians, within residential areas, and using non-combatants as shields,” thus placing those individuals at risk.

He stated that Israel will continue its military operation until Hamas frees all captives and ceases to have authority over Gaza or pose a danger to Israel.

Israeli attacks throughout Gaza result in at least 25 Palestinian deaths.

At least 25 Palestinians, including multiple women and children, have been killed by Israeli attacks throughout the Gaza Strip, as reported by three hospitals. These airstrikes occurred almost a week following Israel’s termination of their truce with Hamas, which was initiated by an unexpected assault killing hundreds.

The Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City received 11 corpses early Monday morning following attacks throughout the night. Among those were three females and four minors. In one particular attack, two siblings lost both parents, their grandmother, and an uncle.

The Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, located in the south, admitted seven corpses from raids that occurred during the night and four more from attacks the day before. Meanwhile, the European Hospital took in three victims from an assault close to Khan Younis.

The Gaza Health Ministry announced on Sunday that the number of Palestinians killed during the 17-month conflict had exceeded 50,000. The ministry has stated previously that over half of those who died were women and children, though they do not differentiate between civilian and military casualties in their tally.

Israel claims it has eliminated approximately 20,000 fighters, though it hasn’t offered proof. The militant group led by Hamas reportedly took about 1,200 lives, mostly of civilians, and seized 251 individuals during their assault on October 7, 2023, which sparked the conflict.

A U.S. surgeon in Gaza reports that the majority of patients injured during an Israeli assault on a hospital were initially harmed in previous attacks.

A U.S.-based trauma surgeon operating in Gaza reports that many of the individuals hurt during an Israeli assault on the biggest hospital in southern Gaza were originally injured when Israel restarted its air strikes earlier last week.

Feroze Sidhwa, a Californian surgeon associated with the humanitarian organization MedGlobal, mentioned on Monday that he was present in the ICU of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis when an air strike struck the hospital’s surgical units on Sunday.

He stated that most of those who were hurt had been healing from injuries sustained during last week’s airstrikes before Israel restarted the conflict.

“They were already trauma patients, and now they’ve experienced a secondary trauma,” said Sidhwa, who grew up in Flint, Mich., during an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Sidhwa mentioned that he had performed surgery on a father and son just days prior to the attack, and they both did not survive.
