Gaza faced another night of bombardment with Israeli strikes reported in al-Maghazi camp and Khan Younis overnight on Tuesday, with at least four people reported dead and others injured.
Humanitarian conditions remain dire as a new round of ceasefire talks are set to begin in Doha on Thursday with Egyptian, Qatar and US mediators hopeful of a breakthrough.
Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with the Israeli negotiating team on Wednesday ahead of the summit in Doha on Thursday. Hamas led by new political chief Yahya Sinwar said it is ready to agree on a deal if Israel does not present further changes.
The ceasefire deal is based on the plan presented by President Joe Biden on 31 May which details a six week pause in hostilities, Israeli military to withdraw from populated areas and the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
International leaders hope that a potential ceasefire deal could deter a response from Iran which has threatened to a “harsh” response to Israeli strikes on Beirut and Tehran with regional tensions remaining high.
