The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with airstrikes and rocket attacks being carried out on both sides. According to reports from Qatari media, including al-Jazeera, Israel refused to accept the ceasefire proposal put forward by mediators. This led to Hamas’s decision not to accept the truce proposal put forward by Israel.
The Israeli Armed Forces confirmed that airstrikes had been carried out in communities near the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for firing rockets from Gaza towards southern Israel in response to Israeli airstrikes in the area. The military wing of Islamic Jihad stated that they were responding to Israel’s actions with legitimate means of defense.
Israel has explained that they are preparing for a ground operation in Rafah and conducting airstrikes as part of this preparation. However, Hamas has accused Israel of continuing its aggressive actions against Palestinians in the region. The situation remains tense and volatile, with both sides refusing to back down from their positions.
