Israel has recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas' 7 October attack that started the Gaza war, the military said in a statement Tuesday. The bodies were recovered in an overnight operation in southern Gaza. It identified the hostages as Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Perry, without saying when or how they died. The recovery came as the United States, Egypt, and Qatar were trying to mediate a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that would see the release of scores of hostages held by the militant group. US Secre...

The "bridging proposal" element of the deal would hold up a cease-fire and release hostages held by Hamas in Gaza - but Hamas has yet to agree or respond to it. Blinken has not said whether the deal addresses the concerns raised by the Islamic militant group that runs Gaza - and neither did he say how it addressed Israel's demands. Blinken reached the agreement after a 2 1/2 hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day, and is expected to travel to Egypt on Tuesday. Egypt has played a key role along with Qatar and the United States in managing a case-fire deal...

Leaders of some of Europe's most powerful countries and allies have endorsed the latest push by mediators to broker an agreement ending the 10-month Israel-Hamas war. The statement, signed by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, also called for the return of hostages held by Hamas and the “unfettered” delivery of humanitarian aid. Mediators have spent months trying to get the sides to agree to a three-phase plan. The plan would involve Hamas releasing the remaining hostages taken during the October 7 attack in exchange for Pal...

Israeli airstrikes into the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis killed at least 21 Palestinians, local health officials said on Friday. The airstrikes came after Israeli evacuation orders triggered another exodus of Palestinians from heavily destroyed districts within the city, where many had only just returned to following Israel’s last incursion in July. One of the airstrikes in Khan Younis hit the home of the Abu Moamar family, killing a Palestine TV journalist, his wife and three daughters. Another strike smashed into tents housing displaced people in Mawasi, an area the Israeli milita...

As fears of a wider war grow in the middle east, questions are being asked about the rising tensions after last week’s assassinations of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur in Beirut. Many fear Iran and its regional allies could launch a similar attack following the killings. Both attacks were widely blamed on Israel, which has acknowledged killing the Hezbollah commander. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas have vowed to avenge the killings. Since then, the US has braced for retaliatory strikes against Israel. President Joe Biden was asked Saturday night in Wilmin...

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has chosen Yahya Sinwar, its top official in Gaza who masterminded the October 7 attacks in southern Israel, as its new leader. Sinwar, a secretive figure who leads Hamas' hardliners and is close to Iran, is at the top of Israel’s kill list after the attack which left 1200 people dead and about 250 taken hostage. Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday that it had named Sinwar as the new head of its political bureau to replace Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Iran last week in a presumed Israeli strike. Also last week, Israel said it had confirmed the death o...

The US announced plans on Friday to move a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and maintain an aircraft carrier in the region amidst growing tensions. The announcement was made a day after US President Joe Biden said he was “very concerned” at the prospect of escalating violence in the region. He also said that the killing of a top Hamas leader in Iran has “not helped” efforts to negotiate a cease-fire in ongoing Israel-Hamas war. “We have the basis for a cease-fire. (Netanyahu) should move on it and they should move on it now,” Biden said after a conversation with the Israeli Prime Minist...

I hear a child's voice say, "On est arrivès au Liban” — we have arrived in Lebanon. I can picture the kid's smiling face peeking through a window as the Transavia flight touches down in Lebanon's capital, Beirut. I am on the same plane. It’s mid-July, and it’s packed with families. Most of the passengers on board are Lebanese who emigrated to Europe, eager to return to their home country for summer holidays. But many things have changed since. "We are here for 10 days to see our relatives, we also travelled to Europe. We are really good where we live now," says a young woman in her thirties, b...

The leader of Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, was killed by an Israeli-targeted airstrike in Gaza in July, the IDF confirmed on Thursday. Israel targeted the Palestinian militant on 13 July after a strike hit a compound on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis — but for weeks, the military said it was working to determine if he died in the blast. In a statement on Thursday, the Israeli military said that “following an intelligence assessment, it can be confirmed that Mohammed Deif was eliminated in the strike.” Hamas previously denied he was killed and has not commen...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel "will exact a heavy price from any aggression against us on any front.” It was his first public statement since the killing of Hamas' top political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in an airstrike in Tehran. His comments didn’t mention the killing. Both Hamas and Iran quickly blamed Israel for the shock assassination that risked escalating into an all-out regional war. The strike came hours after Israel targeted a top commander in Iran’s ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. "There are challenging days ahead of us. Since ...
