In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, a three-phased plan is proposed to exchange the remaining hostages for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. However, disputes and mistrust persist, as Hamas demands a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza before releasing hostages.
Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of health workers, including Hani al-Jaafrawi, in Gaza City, leading to a total of more than 500 healthcare workers killed since the start of the war. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have pushed deeper into Rafah, with heavy fighting reported in various parts of the city.
