Israel has vowed to destroy the Palestinian Islamist movement but during 10 months of war across Gaza has found itself returning to some areas to fight the militants again.“Enough, for both, the Jews and Hamas!” shouted Khan Yunis resident Ahmed al-Najjar. Have mercy on us for God’s sake, the young children and women are dying in the streets. Enough! Where will the people go?”
Netanyahu’s office said later Thursday that Israel would send a negotiating team “to conclude the details of implementing a deal”. In talks with his US counterpart Lloyd Austin, Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defence minister, “raised the importance of swiftly achieving an agreement” to return the hostages from Gaza, Israel’s military said on Friday.The killing last week of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh during a visit to Tehran had sidelined truce talks. Iran and Hamas blamed his death on Israel which has not directly commented on it.
