Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced plans for an expanded military operation to take control of more areas in Gaza. Katz stated, "A significant portion of the population will be evacuated from combat zones." He urged Gazans to view the eradication of Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages as the only way to end the war. Israel has already established a buffer zone within Gaza and expanded areas surrounding the enclave. Additionally, a large security zone has been set up in the Netzarim Corridor at the heart of Gaza. Israeli leaders have suggested they are working towards implementing a plan supported by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported that Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday claimed the lives of at least 42 more Palestinians, bringing the total death toll since October 2023 to 50,399. In the past 24 hours, 183 others were wounded, increasing the number of injured since the conflict began to 114,583. Many victims remain trapped under rubble, with rescue teams struggling to reach them.

Israel has proposed a 40-day ceasefire in Gaza, aiming to secure the release of 11 live Israeli hostages and the return of 16 bodies. In return, Israel is willing to release a specific number of Palestinian prisoners.

The proposal includes a request for Hamas to provide information about the remaining hostages on the fifth day of the ceasefire and to return 16 bodies on the tenth day. The Netanyahu government believes Hamas still holds 59 Israeli hostages, at least 24 of whom are alive. Meanwhile, over 9,500 Palestinians remain in Israeli prisons.

Hamas has called on its supporters worldwide to take up arms and resist U.S. President Donald Trump’s alleged plan to relocate two million Gazans to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed allowing Hamas leaders to leave Gaza under the condition of disarmament. While Hamas is open to transferring governance, it remains unwilling to surrender its weapons.

In response, Hamas issued a statement on Monday urging global supporters to fight against Trump’s proposal.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has reported that another 80 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, raising the total death toll from Israel’s assault since October 2023 to 50,357.

On the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr, 53 bodies were brought to Gaza’s hospitals. Over the past 48 hours, Israeli strikes have injured at least 305 more people. Since March 18, intensified airstrikes have killed over 1,000 Palestinians and wounded nearly 2,400.

Israeli forces have announced plans to intensify military operations in Rafah, Gaza. Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s Arabic spokesperson, stated on social media that forces would engage in ‘extreme warfare’ in Rafah and surrounding areas. Reports confirm that at least 64 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Eid day due to Israeli attacks.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continued even on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, killing at least 20 Palestinians, including five children. Disturbing footage showed young victims in bloodstained Eid outfits. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that since March 18, when Israel broke a ceasefire with Hamas and resumed intense bombardment, over 920 Palestinians—mostly women and children—have been killed. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen amid ongoing violence.

Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya announced on Saturday that the group has accepted a ceasefire proposal brokered by Egypt and Qatar. "We hope the occupiers will not disrupt this process," Al-Hayya stated. The negotiations are aimed at ending ongoing hostilities between Hamas and Israel. As part of the agreement, Hamas will release five Israeli hostages per week. Meanwhile, Israel has submitted a counter-proposal, developed in full coordination with the U.S.

Despite international pressure and condemnation, Israel’s actions continue with the bombing of Gaza’s densely populated residential areas and markets. The ongoing violence is part of a broader conflict fueled by U.S. support for Israeli actions.

At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to over 50,200. According to Al Jazeera, an Israeli airstrike on a busy market in central Gaza killed seven people. The Gaza Government Media Office reported that the number of fatalities caused by Israeli aggression has now surpassed 61,700, with thousands still missing under the rubble, presumed dead.

According to UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, relentless Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have displaced 142,000 people and killed over 100 in the past week.

With a population of 2 million, Gaza is experiencing severe humanitarian distress, worsened by continuous bombings and blockades. The UN report highlights severe shortages of food, medicine, and essential supplies, as humanitarian operations face restrictions.

On Wednesday alone, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians, including six children.

Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif Al-Qanoua was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a tent in Jabalia. Several others were injured in the attack. Meanwhile, separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City left at least six people dead, and another strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, claimed one more life. Earlier this week, Israel assassinated Hamas political bureau members Ismail Barhoum and senior leader Salah Al-Barhoum. Both were part of Hamas’ 20-member decision-making body. Since March 18, intensified Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed 830 Palestinians and left around 1,800 injured.

David Roet, the Israeli Ambassador to Austria, suggested executing Palestinian children in Gaza for allegedly carrying weapons such as guns or grenades. He made this statement during a meeting with the Jewish community in Innsbruck, Austria, but failed to provide any evidence of such incidents. The ambassador dismissed international concerns over civilian casualties. According to UNICEF, since the beginning of the genocide in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed over 14,500 children in Gaza, with the death toll now rising to 15,613.

Israel is forcibly evacuating nearly 100,000 Palestinians from border areas in Gaza.

The Israeli military has issued a final warning for residents of Jabalia, stating that failure to vacate the area will result in military strikes. Military spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on X (formerly Twitter), “This is the final warning before an attack on Jabalia. Move to designated shelters in the south.”

Previously, similar warnings were issued for Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.

At least 17 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting central and southern Gaza early Tuesday. Many others sustained injuries. Despite a ceasefire that began on January 19, Israel resumed its attacks on March 18, resulting in nearly 700 deaths, including at least 400 women and children. Several top Hamas officials were also killed in the bombings. In the latest attack, an Al Jazeera journalist lost his life due to Israeli strikes.
