Palestinians walk through the destruction in Khan Younis.

Israeli occupation launched aggressive raids on several areas across the Gaza Strip central and southern areas on Tuesday, as details have emerged on the latest proposal on ceasefire.

Media reported that Israeli air raids were more aggressive on Tuesday, noting that they mainly concentrated in the central area, particularly on Deir Al-Balah.

In addition to Deir Al-Balah, strikes were also reported in Maghazi refugee camp, where Israeli warplanes bombed a council building and in Rafah, where quadcopters kept shooting in the eastern part of the southern city.

Meanwhile, in the city of Khan Younis, more bodies have been removed from under the rubble, some fully decomposed after being there for three or four months. About 80 bodies have been recovered so far.

Also on Tuesday, Israeli warplanes bombed two homes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, in northern Gaza Strip, leaving casualties.

The level of destruction in the eastern part of the city has made it unrecognizable, according to people who have checked on what remains of their homes.

Details on Ceasefire Proposal

Mediators presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas and the Israeli occupation that would include a six-week pause in fighting and a swap of 40 Hamas-held captives for at least 700 Palestinians imprisoned by the Zionist authorities.

The proposal was presented to delegations from Hamas and the Zionist entity during the latest round of negotiations in Cairo over the weekend, according to Egyptian officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Al-Jazeera reported.

Hamas would be required to provide a list of the captives it will release, as well as a list of Palestinian prisoners whose freedom it seeks. The proposal also includes the return of “a significant number” of Palestinians to northern Gaza.

The proposal stipulates that ‘Israel’ gradually dismantle checkpoints it built on a new road that split the strip in half to prevent the return of Palestinians to the north.

For its part, Hamas has issued a press statement saying it was studying a proposal reached in Cairo despite concerns that Israel’s position in negotiations “remains stubborn”.

Earlier, Netanyahu has threatened that “there is a date” for the Israeli assault on Rafah where more than 1 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
