A Hamas delegation led by senior leader Khalil al-Hayya agreed on Saturday in Cairo to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for a five-year truce, according to an Egyptian security source. The source described talks on Saturday as "very important" for advancing efforts to end the war in Gaza, noting that the Hamas delegation accepted the five-year truce proposal after reviewing various offers. So far, Israel has not formally responded to any of the proposals, but has given the green light for negotiations to continue regarding the release of hostages, the source added. Egypt's Al-Qahera News TV channel reported that the Hamas delegation would also discuss a comprehensive deal that ensures the full withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza, and secures the delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave. Talks are expected to include the formation of a committee to manage Gaza's administration. Israel halted the entry of aid supplies into Gaza on March 2, following the expiration of the first six-week phase of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas that started on Jan. 19. Israel claimed the move was due to Hamas' rejection of its offer to extend the first phase. Israeli forces then resumed strikes across Gaza on March 18, effectively ending the phased truce. On Saturday, the Times of Israel quoted the Israel Defense Forces as saying that if the negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue to be deadlocked, the Israeli military is prepared to significantly expand its military offensive against the Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Gaza-based health authorities said on Saturday that in the previous 24 hours, 56 Palestinians were killed, and 108 others were injured in Israeli military operations in the enclave. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on the same day that the Israeli military conducted airstrikes targeting Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, Gaza City in the northern part, and the Al-Shati refugee camp, causing at least 16 deaths, including children, and many others were injured. As of now, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has not issued an official response regarding these incidents. Also on Saturday, the IDF stated that it had struck over 1,800 targets across the Gaza Strip since the resumption of fighting in the enclave on March 18. In the past 48 hours alone, the Israeli army launched attacks on about 120 targets in the Gaza Strip. The video shows: FILE: Cairo, Egypt - July 24, 2022 1.
