The Israeli enemy continued on Friday its aggression on Gaza for the fourth consecutive day after the ceasefire stop as the occupation forces expanded incursion in Rafah and bombarded various regions of the Strip.
According to the latest toll, 591 martyrs, including 200 children, and 1042 injuries have been left by the aggression.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to annex areas of the Gaza Strip to the Zionist entity if Hamas refuses to release the captives it is still holding, in a new confirmation of the Israeli enemy’s plans to annex more Palestinian territories.
Katz said he has instructed the Israeli military to seize additional areas of the Gaza Strip while issuing evacuation orders for Palestinian civilians in those areas.
Hamas Resistance Movement issued on Friday a statement, denying the report by the Hebrew daily “Yedioth Ahronoth” claiming the cessation of contacts or talks related to the prisoner exchange deal.
Hamas also confirmed that it is still engaged in negotiations and is following up with the mediator brothers in a responsible and serious manner.
Moreover, the Movement is also discussing Witkoff’s proposal and all other suggested ideas to achieve an exchange agreement that ensures the release of prisoners, ends the war, and guarantees the withdrawal from Gaza, according to the statement.
