The Israeli military, in an effort to defend its devastating assaults on Gaza’s hospitals, this week released an edited interrogation video that it said bolstered its case that Hamas uses medical facilities as cover for military activity.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas and other Iranian proxies invaded Israel, massacring more than 1200 people and taking hundreds of people hostage. In response, Israel launched a military operation in Gaza with the express aim of destroying the U.S.-designated terrorist group. For more than a year, many in the press have been regurgitating Hamas propaganda.

A renewed push is underway to reach a ceasefire in the 15-month war and return Israeli hostages before Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

The Israeli Air Force has carried out several airstrikes against terrorists involved in the October 7, 2023, attack near the Israeli city of Khan Yunis. Casualties among the militants have been reported,

Our planet is the closest it has ever been to a global nuclear holocaust, the scientific community has warned over the past two years.

A Hamas leader told Newsweek that "we can go to an agreement immediately" if Israel changed its course on negotiations.

Hamas on Tuesday stood by its demand that Israel fully end its assault on Gaza under any deal to release hostages and said US president-elect Donald Trump was rash to say there would be ’hell to pay’ unless they go free by his 20 January inauguration.

The strike hit a tent in an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone known as Muwasi, where thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

Israel said Monday that Hamas had yet to clarify whether 34 hostages it said it was ready to free were dead or alive, throwing doubt on the group's assertion that it needed time to ascertain their fate.

As the renewed clashes in the north of the enclave neared the three-month mark, there was no sign of them abating.

The deal would secure release of a third of the approximately 100 hostages who remain in Gaza, including two dual U.S.-Israeli nationals. In return, Israel would release some Palestinian prisoners.
