Evening recap

Good evening Middle East Eye readers,

Hamas has told mediators that it is prepared to freeze all offensive operations against Israel from Gaza for up to a decade, and it is prepared to bury its weapons, if Israeli forces fully withdraw from the enclave, a senior Palestinian official familiar with the discussions told Middle East Eye in an exclusive report. 

Meanwhile, inside Gaza, the Palestinian Civil Defence on Tuesday recovered the bodies of at least 15 Palestinians from the al-Shifa Hospital courtyard area in Gaza City.

Israel continued its attacks on Gaza. At least one Palestinian was killed and another injured by Israeli fire on Tuesday evening, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
