Israel is raining bombs, yet Palestinians offered prayer!
After the ceasefire agreement broke down in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army has wreaked havoc. More than 600 Palestinians have been killed in the last one week. Despite this, Palestinian citizens showed courage to offer Eid-ul-Fitr prayers. Palestinian journalist and former Gaza resident Mansour Shoman told Al Jazeera that despite Israeli bombing, many people did not back down from offering prayers in mosques. According to health officials, at least 20 people were killed in Israeli attacks on the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr, most of whom are women and children.
Hamas accepted the ceasefire
In view of the Israeli attacks, Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal. Hamas took this decision under the mediation efforts of egypt and Qatar, but israel presented a separate ceasefire proposal with the US.
Israel's conditions and new proposal
According to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a ceasefire is possible only when Hamas lays down its arms, exiles its leaders from Gaza, and hands over the security of Gaza to Israel. israel also expressed its intention to pursue a plan for the rehabilitation of Palestinians in Gaza, which has been called "voluntary immigration".
"Red line" for Palestinians
Senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya said that an agreement could be reached to hand over the administration of Gaza to a group of independent technocrats, but disarmament (laying down arms) is unacceptable. He described it as a "red line" as long as israel maintains occupation of Palestine.
Major points of the ceasefire agreement
Hamas will release 5 live hostages.
Israel will agree to send humanitarian aid to Gaza and stop the war for a week.
The release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners is also included in the agreement.
New strategy of israel and America
After coordination with the Israeli White House, the Netanyahu government said that the war will not stop until Hamas releases 59 hostages. israel is demanding Hamas to give up power, lay down arms and deport its leaders.
