Indian Embassy advised the Indian nationals living in Lebanon to exercise extreme caution and avoid any movements.

 Despite stiff opposition from the hostages' families, who voiced their concerns over their delayed release, Netanyahu has stood firm in his commitment.

Netanyahu also cited a survey that found 82 per cent of Palestinians in the West Bank justified the October 7 attacks on Israel, adding that the Palestinian Authority has yet to condemn the assault.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed shock over the killing of 3 Israeli hostages in Gaza and called it an ''unbearable tragedy”.

The proposed Two-State Solution framework calls for establishing an independent state for Palestinians alongside Israel, a concept supported by the US for decades

The cease-fire, scheduled to commence at 7 am local time, will witness the release of 13 women and children hostages at 4 pm.

The video, shared by IDF on X, shows an Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari walking through the damaged home and entering the tunnel.

The negotiations for hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has been going on for days, amid hopes of ending the war that has devastated Gaza and killed thousands of people.

Israel Defence Forces' operation inside Gaza's largest Al Shifa hospital has reportedly resulted in the death of several Hamas militants.

The IDF spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said that Israeli forces found a “command centre with an armoury of weapons including grenades, suicide vests and other explosives”

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), paints a dire picture, emphasizing a "perilous" situation in Gaza's hospitals. Tragically, more patients, including premature babies, are succumbing to the worsening conditions.

PM Netanyahu has also issued a stern warning to Iran-backed Hezbollah, stating, "It will be making the mistake of its life" if it opens a new front in the conflict from its base in Lebanon.

The White House, through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, stressed that a reoccupation by Israeli forces would not be in Israel's or its people's best interests.

PM Netanyahu has asserted that Israel would maintain the "overall security responsibility" in Gaza for an "indefinite period" once the war concludes. He reiterated that a general ceasefire would only be considered when all hostages held by Hamas are released.

The Palestinian health ministry said more than 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in the territory in nearly a month of war, more than 4,000 of them children. That toll likely will rise as Israeli troops advance into dense, urban neighbourhoods.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again said that the elimination of Hamas is now a matter of survival.

Israel's military said late on Thursday that it had surrounded Gaza City, the main city on the coast and the target of Israel's campaign to wipe out the Islamist group.

During the operation, the Israeli troops struck numerous terrorists, targeted infrastructure, and disabled anti-tank-guided missile launch positions

Israeli PM Netanyahu has confirmed that the Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip serves two primary goals: a) the destruction of Hamas and 2) the safe rescue of all hostages.
