Israeli navy patrol the sea near Gaza as the Israel-Hamas conflict rages on

Описание: The Israeli navy patrol the sea near Gaza on Wednesday as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues.

During their patrol, the Iron dome system was seen to intecept rockets fired from Gaza towards Israel.

Israel said on Wednesday it was not setting a timeframe for an end to hostilities with Gaza.

In a sign of diplomatic movement, however, an Egyptian security source said the two sides had agreed to a ceasefire in principle after help from mediators, but details were being negotiated in secret amid public denials of a deal to prevent it from collapsing.

Palestinian medical officials said 219 people had now been killed in 10 days of aerial bombardments which have destroyed roads, buildings and other infrastructure, and worsened the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Israeli authorities put the death toll at 12 in Israel, where repeated rocket attacks have caused panic and sent people rushing into shelters. Regional and U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire have intensified but so far failed.

U.S. President Joe Biden prodded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to de-escalate tensions in the Gaza conflict "on the path" to a ceasefire, a White House spokeswoman said.
