Positive progress” has been made in negotiations between Israel and Palestinian resistance group Hamas to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, Egyptian state media has said, but warned against believing reported details of a possible deal.
“A high-level source confirmed that there is positive progress in negotiations regarding reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza,” reported Egyptian Al Qahera News.
But the unnamed source added: “What has been published about the terms of the agreement in the media is inaccurate.”
The source confirmed that “the Egyptian security delegation is continuing its consultations with all parties,” adding that “the return of the displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza is among the terms of the agreement.”
The Health Ministry in Gaza has said that at least 34,683 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory during almost seven months of Israel’s brutal war on the enclave.
The tally includes at least 29 deaths in the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said, adding that 78,018 people have been wounded in Gaza since October 7.
Several civilians have been killed and others injured in an Israeli raid that targeted a house in the town of Mays al Jabal in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that “enemy aircraft raided the town of Mays al Jabal, targeting a house.”
The agency added that the attack resulted in “the deaths of civilians and the injury of a member of the Civil Defence Centre.”
In a separate report, the agency said Israel targeted the outskirts of the southern town of Alma al Shaab with artillery shells.
“The outskirts of the town of Alma al Shaab in the western sector were subjected to Israeli enemy shelling this morning (Sunday),” it noted.
At least two Palestinians have been killed and several others injured in Israeli attacks targeting various areas in Gaza.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said: “Two Palestinian civilians were killed and others were injured in Israeli airstrikes today (Sunday) targeting the northern and central regions of the Gaza Strip.”
It added that “one civilian was killed and several others were injured in the Israeli artillery shelling on the neighbourhoods of Al Zaytoun, Tal Al Hawa, and Sheikh Ajleen in Gaza City.”
“In Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza, a civilian was killed in an Israeli air strike targeting a gathering of civilians,” it also said.
The Israeli army has rounded up 25 more Palestinians in military raids in the occupied West Bank, prisoners’ affairs groups have said.
According to a joint statement by the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Society, the new arrests brought the total number of Palestinians detained by Israeli forces since October 7 to 8,575.
