Gaza Strip, according to a report published by The Guardian, citing sources familiar with the negotiations. This came in exchange for releasing some hostages held early in the war. However, other sources indicated that the negotiations started prior to the Israeli ground invasion which resumed after October 27 and Netanyahu took a tough line on proposals involving a ceasefire in return for hostages.

After fighters from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other Gaza-based organizations crossed the reinforced border fence dividing the area from Israeli towns and kibbutzim, an estimated 240 people were taken hostage. Families of those detained in Gaza staged a demonstration outside of Netanyahu's home earlier this week, demonstrating the growing public outrage and demands that Israel give hostage talks top priority. The original deal involved freeing children, women, the elderly, and sick people in exchange for a five-day ceasefire, The Guardian reported.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden informed that Israel has agreed to allow a 4-hour humanitarian pause each day in combat operations in the Gaza Strip. However, some reports have suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the claim. Some 80,000 people fled northern Gaza on Thursday as Israeli forces intensified their attack against Hamas militants in the region.

Israel claimed its forces captured a Hamas stronghold in northern Gaza after a 10-hour battle yesterday. The Palestinian Health Ministry says the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has risen to 10,818. The ministry said the figure includes 4,412 children and 2,198 women.
