The Saudi-based channel al-Hadath reported Monday evening that Israeli military operations in Gaza are pressing forward despite the ongoing talks with Hamas.
According to their coverage, Israeli tanks have been moving toward the Sabara district of Gaza City, advancing under the protection of air support.
Meanwhile, Hamas’s so-called “Ministry of Health” issued a statement to Arab outlets alleging that 20 Palestinians had been killed in the Gaza Strip since midnight.
Israel’s determination to secure full control of Gaza City was cited as the reason Hamas gave a favorable reply to the proposal from Qatari and Egyptian mediators for a partial agreement on hostages.
Earlier in the day, President Trump expressed his backing for Israel’s strategy, stating that “we will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed.”
