At least 25 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, according to hospital reports on Monday.
The attacks come nearly a week after Israel abruptly ended a ceasefire with Hamas, unleashing heavy bombardments that have left hundreds dead.
Amid the escalating violence, Egypt has put forward a new proposal to restore the ceasefire.
According to an Egyptian official, the plan would see Hamas release five captives in exchange for Israel allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza and agreeing to a temporary pause in fighting.
The proposal also includes the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
A Hamas official confirmed the group had “responded positively” to the offer but did not provide further details.
Both officials spoke anonymously, as they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly.
