Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar. At the same time, Israel continues its bombing campaign in eastern Rafah despite not accepting the ceasefire terms. Reports indicate that around 100,000 Palestinians in Rafah have been asked to evacuate. Ismail Haniyeh, representing Hamas, informed Qatari and Egyptian officials of the group's approval of the ceasefire. However, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu's office stated that the proposed deal falls short of Israel's demands but will still send a delegation for negotiations.

Abu Obaida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, announced the loss of communication with a group responsible for safeguarding a set of Israeli captives detained in the Gaza Strip. In a statement shared on his Telegram channel, Abu Obaida attributed the loss of contact to the relentless Israeli bombardment endured over the past ten days. He specifically mentioned the absence of communication with a faction tasked with protecting four Israeli captives, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Notably, the al-Qassam Brigades had recently released a video message from Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, wherein he appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and government officials to secure the release of captives and consider resigning from their positions.

Israeli warplanes launched a series of new airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of numerous civilians, including children, in the embattled Palestinian enclave. According to reports from medical sources cited by the Palestinian Wafa news agency on Tuesday, 14 individuals were killed in overnight bombings targeting a three-story house owned by the Karaja family, situated south of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Tragically, children were among those killed in the strike, which also left several others wounded.

The Iraqi Resistance has launched another attack in Israel, targeting the Eilat Port with a new kamikaze drone. Claiming responsibility for the strike, the group stated it was in support of Gaza. This marks the first time the resistance group has used the Al-Arfad suicide drones, which bear resemblance to the Yemeni armed forces' Sammad line of attack drone. Previously relying on its own version of the Shahed-101 drone, the resistance released a video capturing the moment the drone struck the target in Eilat. However, details regarding the location of impact and casualties remain undisclosed. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been increasingly staging such attacks on Israeli targets, particularly since the Israeli offensive in Rafah, despite prior warnings.
