The Israeli army announced extensive ground operations in the Gaza Strip amid ongoing air strikes that have reportedly killed dozens. Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated Israel’s openness to negotiating a deal with Hamas to end hostilities, while military actions aimed at eliminating Hamas and freeing hostages continue. As the humanitarian situation worsens, with hospitals out of service and warnings of famine, the conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, including over 3,193 deaths in Gaza since March 18.
