Hamas tells Israel to cease Gaza City attacks as captives' lives in danger
"Israeli tanks are advancing in Tal al-Hawa, Sabra and other neighbourhoods of Gaza City in their ground invasion. Hamas has issued what it calls a warning that the lives of two captives held in Gaza City are in danger as Israeli tanks push deeper inside several neighbourhoods of the besieged urban centre, where tens of thousands of Palestinians are trapped by Israel's ground invasion and bombardment."
"Hamas released a farewell picture of captives in Gaza this month in another attempt to stop the Israeli army as it systematically destroys Gaza City and displaces hundreds of thousands of starving Palestinians once again. Israel said 48 captives remain in Gaza, 20 of whom are alive. But the country has refused to stop the war despite being increasingly accused of committing genocide and as Israeli families call and protest for a comprehensive deal to end the war and bring back all captives."
Israeli tanks are advancing into Tal al-Hawa, Sabra and other Gaza City neighbourhoods as part of a ground invasion. Hamas and its armed wing say contact was lost with fighters holding captives Omri Miran and Matan Angrest after intense operations in Sabra and Tal al-Hawa over 48 hours. The Qassam Brigades says the captives' lives are in real danger and demands Israeli forces withdraw south of Road 8 and pause aerial sorties for 24 hours from 18:00 to allow an extraction attempt. Israel reports 48 captives remain in Gaza, 20 alive. Mediators Qatar and Egypt have not presented new ceasefire proposals while the US president predicts an imminent ceasefire.
