Hamas announced in a statement that the group is ready to “immediately implement” a ceasefire based on the US presented proposal agreed by the group in May.
The statement, released yesterday, saw the group deny it had placed new demands on a ceasefire agreement and rejected any new terms issued by any side.
The statement comes as the death toll from an Israeli bombing Wednesday of a UN-run school housing displaced civilians in the central Gaza Strip rose to 18, with several injured, according to Gaza’s Media Office.
Six staff members from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) were among the fatalities, according to the organisation.
The Civil Defense said several women and children were among the victims in the attack, which targeted al-Jaouni School in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed 41,084 people and wounded a further 95,029.
