STORYLINE:

STANDUP 1 (English): OHOOD AL-JAGHOUB, Xinhua reporter in Ramallah
"U.S. National Security Council spokesman said Israel agreed to a four-hour pause in fighting daily starting from today (Thursday), to allow Palestinians to move from the north to the south through two humanitarian corridors.
The Israeli troops are still fighting Hamas fighters in the northern part of the strip and around the southern part of Gaza City in the middle of the strip. Heavy explosions, air raids and gunfire exchanges are heard across all clash points in Gaza.
Palestinians in Gaza do not have the bare minimum of essentials to survive. Hundreds are killed daily due to relentless bombing all across the strip, targeting hospitals, schools, universities, mosques and churches, while crowded shelters are in danger of spreading diseases."

"The latest round of conflict between Israel and Hamas continues. The Israeli army said in a statement on Thursday that its ground forces have entered the military quarter inside Gaza City and are engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with Hamas militants. Small-scale exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Lebanese Hezbollah continue. A school in the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat was hit by a drone on Thursday; fortunately, there were no casualties."

STANDUP 3 (English): HUMMAM SHEIKH ALI, Xinhua reporter in Damascus
"The conflict between Hamas and Israel, which started on Oct. 7, has had far-reaching consequences in the region, particularly in Syria. Amidst the ongoing escalation, Israel's military actions have intensified, with 16 airstrikes and missile attacks targeting Syrian military installations since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In parallel, pro-Iran factions have initiated 26 drone assaults on U.S. bases in the eastern parts of Syria."
