The Israeli occupation forces continue their massive bombardment of various parts of the Gaza Strip on the 12th day of their resumption of their war of extermination. Palestinian media reported deaths and injuries as a result of the targeting of Khan Yunis, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and Rafah.

Meanwhile, Egyptian sources revealed to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Hamas has agreed to a new proposal for a truce during the Islamic and Jewish holidays. This would allow the entry of aid and provide an opportunity to begin negotiations on the second phase of the stalled ceasefire agreement. According to the same sources, the movement agreed to the release of American soldier Idan Alexander, in addition to four other detainees, some of whom are still alive. The sources confirmed that the ball is now in the court of the Israeli occupation government and the American side.

On the ground, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is planning a large-scale ground operation that could include the occupation of the entire Gaza Strip, despite the lack of Israeli consensus on continuing the war and the large number of reserve soldiers refusing to report for military service. This comes as the IDF gradually expands its ground operation in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, the eastern part of the Netzarim axis in the central Gaza Strip, and the Shabura and Tel Sultan neighborhoods in the devastated city of Rafah in the south.

While the occupying authorities continue to issue evacuation orders to residents since the resumption of their war, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has accused Israel of violating international law by forcibly displacing Palestinians in Gaza under "mandatory evacuation orders." OHCHR spokesperson Thameen Al-Khitan said in a statement that the evacuations announced by the Israeli military do not comply with the requirements of international humanitarian law. He added, "Israel is not taking any measures to provide accommodation for the evacuated population, nor is it ensuring that the evacuations take place in acceptable conditions in terms of hygiene, health, safety, and nutrition."
