Israel apparently dispatches negotiating team to resume negotiations including suspension of fighting. Negotiations have continued between Israel and Hamas, with Qatar and others acting as intermediaries, with a view to a cessation of fighting and the release of hostages.
Hamas effectively rejected the proposal presented by Israel and the mediating countries, reiterating its position calling for a complete ceasefire. The Israeli military carries out airstrikes every day in the Gaza Strip, and local Palestinian media reported on the 29th that at least 20 people, including children and women, were killed in heavy airstrikes.
