Armistice Negotiations
On the diplomatic front, there have been negotiations for an armistice. Israel has proposed a deal to release hostages, but Hamas refuses to discuss it without a complete ceasefire. Qatar is working on mediation efforts to reduce the escalation and achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
According to Reuters, the White House has expressed serious discussions about a humanitarian truce and the release of hostages in Gaza. They have also mentioned the possibility of allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza from Jordan.
In response, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziad al-Nakhalah, announced that a delegation from the movement will be heading to Cairo, Egypt, in the coming days. Their goal is to discuss ways to stop the aggression and negotiate an exchange deal.
Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political bureau, has also arrived in Cairo with a delegation of movement leaders. They are there to discuss a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the exchange of prisoners with Israel.
Lebanon Front
On the northern front, Lebanese Hezbollah has reported that its forces have bombed Israeli artillery positions in Khirbet Maar using rocket weapons, resulting in direct hits. They have also targeted the Israeli monks site with Burkan missiles, achieving direct hits.
Additionally, Lebanese Hezbollah has confirmed targeting an Israeli infantry force near the Birkat Risha site. Sirens were heard in the Western Galilee as a result. Al Jazeera correspondent has reported that Israeli missile bombardment from the occupied Shebaa Farms has targeted Syrian territory. Sirens were also heard in Ain Qinya and several areas in the occupied Golan.
Furthermore, the Israeli occupation forces launched a raid on the town of Kfar Shuba in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, according to Al Jazeera correspondent. Israeli Army Radio has detected at least 5 missiles that entered Israeli territory after sirens sounded in the Galilee.
The Red Sea
The White House has confirmed the existence of the Joint Forces Alliance to protect the Red Sea, stating that the coalition has ships stationed there.
Bloomberg has reported that over 100 cargo ships have changed their course from the Red Sea to the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Houthi attacks.
Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has warned that his forces will target American navigation in the region with missiles and drones if they are targeted on Yemeni territory. He accused America of participating in the aggression against Gaza by providing support to the occupation army, including experts, advisors, fighters, and internationally banned weapons.
However, he clarified that Houthi operations do not aim to target global navigation or international ships, but rather Israeli ships and those associated with them.
