Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 25 Palestinians, including several women and children, according to three hospitals. The strikes came nearly a week after Israel ended its ceasefire with a surprise bombardment that killed hundreds.
This includes an Israeli strike that killed at least five people, including Hamas leader Ismail Barhoum, at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, officials say Egypt has introduced a new proposal to try and get the Israel-Hamas ceasefire back on track.
Hamas would release five living captives, including an American-Israeli, in return for Israel allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and a weekslong pause in the fighting, an Egyptian official said. Israel would also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
A Hamas official said the group had “responded positively” to the proposal, without elaborating.
