Reuters reported on Wednesday that Hamas has agreed to a Qatari-mediated deal that would see it releasing 50 hostages in exchange for a three-day ceasefire. The deal also has Israel releasing some Palestinian female and teen prisoners from Israeli prisons and increasing the amount of humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza.

Based on intelligence information and an operational necessity, IDF forces are carrying out a “precise and targeted operation” against Hamas in a “specified” area in the Shifa Hospital, the IDF said Tuesday night. “The IDF is conducting a ground operation in Gaza to defeat Hamas and rescue our hostages.

In an interview with Fox News, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that “our fight is your fight and our victory is your victory.” Netanyahu emphasized that Israel’s fight against Hamas is a global war of the forces of good and civilization against sheer evil.

The crowd at Tuesday’s pro-Israel rally was estimated at 290,000, making it the largest-ever pro-Israel rally in the world.

Israeli officials said on Monday that one of the hostages abducted by Hamas has likely given birth in Gaza. The assumption is not based on any intelligence or concrete information but solely on the fact that the woman was in her ninth month of pregnancy when she was abducted over a month ago.

In an interview on British TV with Piers Morgan, Jeremy Corbyn, an infamous antisemite and former leader of the United Kingdom’s Labour Party, refused to label Hamas as a terrorist organization.

We traveled to Washington. We Davened, sang Hallel and Lained. We raised the Torah in triumph on the lawn of the White House and Davened Mussaf. We made our point. We delivered our message. We can now go home. The fact that the “main event” has a pastor and a Muslim woman but not one speaker with a Yarmulka, speaks volumes.

The IDF announced on Tuesday morning that Cpl. Noa Marciano, H’yd, the 19-year-old soldier who appeared in a video released by Hamas on Monday, was murdered by Hamas in Gaza. Marchiano, a’h, was abducted alive from her army base on the Gazan border by Hamas to the Gaza Strip, where she was murdered.

The IDF has released the identities of two more soldiers who lost their lives in combat in the northern Gaza Strip: Sergeant Roee Marom, aged 21, a resident of Ra’anana Major (res.) Raz Abulafia, 27 years old, a resident of Rishpon. Their deaths bring the toll of slain soldiers in Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza to 46.

The Israeli Air Force’s elite search and rescue Unit 669 has conducted over 60 medical evacuations from within the Gaza Strip during the military’s ground offensive. These evacuations involved transporting wounded soldiers to hospitals in Israel.
