Hamas has accepted a US proposal to begin talks on releasing Israeli hostages, including soldiers and men, 16 days after the first phase of an agreement aimed at ending the Gaza war, a senior Hamas source told Reuters on Saturday.

Israel has released an image of its soldier Naama Levy, one of the hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attack. The picture came close on the heels of the ongoing "All Eyes On Rafah" campaign on social media.

Israeli television aired previously withheld footage on Wednesday of five pyjama-clad female army conscripts being seized by Hamas gunmen during the Oct. 7 raid that triggered the Gaza war.

The Israeli army announced Sunday the death of another soldier in the October 7 Hamas attacks and said his body was being held in the Gaza Strip.

At the end of a kilometer-long, booby-trapped tunnel in the Gaza Strip, Israeli soldiers discovered cramped cells where the military said Hamas kept about 20 hostages.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday nine more soldiers had been killed in Gaza, bringing its total war losses there to 187.

Israeli soldiers in Gaza discovered a tunnel shaft located inside a school, the Israel Defence Forces said on Wednesday.

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday an aid convoy came under fire by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, without causing any casualties.

Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building holding three hostages just days before killing them by mistake, said a military investigation published on Thursday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Gaza war was exacting a "very heavy price" as the death count of soldiers killed in fighting with Hamas mounted.

An Israeli hostage who was mistakenly killed by soldiers in the Gaza Strip this week was buried on Sunday, with his brother slamming the army for having "abandoned and murdered" him.

The Israeli military has recovered the bodies of three Israelis - a civilian and two soldiers - who had been held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas since its October 7 attack on southern Israel, it said on Friday.

The armed wing of Hamas said on Friday it had repelled an attempted hostage rescue by Israeli special forces in the Gaza Strip, inflicting several military casualties, and that a captive also died in the incident.

An Israeli soldier rescued from the Gaza Strip welcomed on Monday releases of her fellow hostages, in her first public comments since she was freed.
