Egypt and Qatar have come up with a cease-fire proposal to end the Gaza war. The Hamas militant group says it has accepted the draft, while both Israel and Washington say they are reviewing the plan. Earlier, an Israeli official said the proposal was watered down and unacceptable to Israel. Despite that, Hamas’ announcement prompted immediate celebrations in southern Gaza. Just hours earlier, Israel had announced "targeted strikes" against Hamas in the eastern part of Rafah in the south of the Gaza strip, ordering tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians sheltering there to leave and head to a refugee camp.
