The war on Gaza is live... Hamas responds to Israel with a prisoner deal and American pressure to avoid invading Rafah.

19 Palestinians were martyred and 23 others were injured in targeting by the Israeli occupation, as they were waiting for aid in the Kuwait roundabout, southeast of Gaza. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the return of Gazans to the north to advance the negotiations, and informed him that the invasion of Rafah during the negotiations would reflect on American support.
