Previously, Israel advised residents to relocate from the northern region to the central and southern areas, designated as "safe zones." However, contrary to this assurance, Israeli forces extended their strikes across the entire strip, covering central and southern parts, as reported by Xinhua news agency.

The airstrike, which claimed the life of Brig Gen Mousavi, occurred in the Sayeda Zeinab area near Damascus, Syria. Mousavi, a high-ranking IRGC officer, held a crucial role in coordinating Iran's military operations in Syria.

Guterres pointed out that the intense Israeli bombardment and combat in densely populated areas pose threats to both civilians and aid workers.

The fresh development comes two days after Mossad chief David Barnea met CIA Director William Burns and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Warsaw on Monday.

Moses and Katzir, kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, express their desire to be reunited with their families. In the footage, Moses emphasizes the dangers they face in Gaza and implores the government to take all necessary actions for their safe return.

Addressing 80 envoys, Herzog expressed gratitude for their nations' efforts in the hostage release and emphasized Israel's readiness for another humanitarian pause. He specified that the responsibility for the release lies with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and the leadership of Hamas.

The Israeli military reports 129 soldiers killed and 704 injured since ground operations began on October 27, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

Mediation will resume only after addressing these differences, with Qatar and Egypt working to find common ground. The recent humanitarian ceasefire saw the release of 86 Israeli and 24 foreign hostages, leaving approximately 129 people, including foreign nationals, still captive in Gaza.

Following the Hamas attack, 240 Israelis were initially taken hostage, and during the collapsed humanitarian pause from November 24-30, 86 Israeli and 24 foreign national hostages were released. Currently, around 137 people, including Israelis and foreign nationals, are estimated to remain captive in Gaza.

The Israeli military or government has not officially commented on this reported development. Earlier, Israel's army claimed to have destroyed over 500 tunnel shafts in Gaza, some located in civilian areas and structures. In 2021, Hamas asserted the construction of 500 km of tunnels, but the accuracy of this claim remains uncertain.
