As the war of Israel with Gaza continues, yesterday at least 10 people were killed and several wounded in an overnight Israeli strike on a home in the Abasan al-Kabira area of eastern Khan Younis, the Wafa news agency reports.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military said it was investigating a statement by Hamas’s armed wing announcing the death of an Israeli captive in Gaza and the wounding of two others in a separate incident.
On the other hand, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the United States and some Western countries encouraged Israel to continue its crimes in Gaza through “indifference and support”, Iran’s Mehr news agency reports.
Hamas called on the US, Qatar and Egypt to submit a plan to implement the ceasefire proposal put forward by US President Joe Biden, instead of holding “more rounds of negotiations” and discussing new proposals for Gaza.
At least 39,897 people have been killed and 92,152 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 were taken captive.
