Around 100 hostages are still being held in Gaza, with at least a third believed to be dead. Most of the other hostages taken during Hamas's attack on 7 October 2023, were released in a ceasefire last year.

Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, has expressed its readiness to enter into a ceasefire agreement in Gaza following Hezbollah's decision to lay down its arms and reach a ceasefire with Israel. The group, which has been engaged in ongoing hostilities with Israel, cited the ceasefire brokered by the US and France between Hezbollah and Israel as a key development signaling a shift toward peace efforts. Hamas conveyed to international mediators, including those from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, that it is prepared for serious negotiations, including a potential exchange of prisoners. However, Hamas also accused Israel of obstructing progress on the ceasefire front. This move by Hamas comes amid mounting pressure from international actors to bring an end to the conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas in the region.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have successfully targeted and eliminated Abd el-Halim Abu Hussein, the head of rocket operations for Hamas's Western Jabalia battalion, in a precise air strike over the weekend. Abu Hussein was a key figure responsible for numerous rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli civilians and forces in Gaza. The airstrike also resulted in the death of Muhammad Abd al-Rahman Muhammad Zakout, one of the terrorists responsible for the October 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel. As tensions rise, the IDF continues its focused efforts to degrade Hamas’s military capabilities, significantly weakening the group's operations in Gaza. The conflict escalates as sporadic rocket fire persists despite these major losses to Hamas leadership. Watch the latest developments in the ongoing fight between Israel and Hamas.
