The Israeli Occupation continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 223rd consecutive day, targeting civilians and committing massacres. Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance fighters are engaged in fierce battles with the occupying forces in several areas.

Gaza Ministry of Health said that the death toll has risen to 35,233 martyrs and 79,141 injured since October 7.

Efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement have reached an impasse after the occupation made amendments to the latest proposal, according to Hamas political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

Haniyeh stated that Hamas has responded positively to mediation efforts by Egypt and Qatar to negotiate a ceasefire and prisoner exchange. However, he added that the Israeli Occupation responded to Hamas' agreement by entering Rafah and northern areas.
