Yesterday, IDF forces began focused ground operations in Central and Southern Gaza. As part of the operation, the forces reasserted and expanded their control up to the center of the Netzarim Axis. Meanwhile, it was decided that Golani Brigade forces would position themselves in the southern sector and be prepared to operate in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Hamas Retreating?<\/strong><br \/>\nSenior sources in Hamas reported to the newspaper <em>Al-Arabi al-Jadid <\/em>that the terrorist organization has informed the mediating countries that it is willing to respond to any proposal that includes the release of Israeli hostages, under the condition that it will be within the framework of moving to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The sources from the terrorist organization emphasized that Hamas did not reject the American envoy Steve Witkoff&#8217;s proposal but established a condition for its acceptance, immediate transition to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, which includes ending the war.<\/p>\n<p>According to the sources, negotiations and discussions are ongoing around the proposal currently on the negotiation table. They estimated that a Hamas delegation is expected to arrive in Cairo today for meetings with senior Egyptian officials, aiming to examine the latest developments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dozens of Casualties, Including Officers and Senior Members of the Organization<\/strong><br \/>\nHamas suffered another blow following the attack, with <em>Al-Jazeera <\/em>reporting 71 fatalities during Air Force strikes early on (Thursday) in Northern and Southern Gaza.
