Hamas released an American woman and her teenage daughter last week in what it said was a humanitarian gesture mediated by Qatar. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops near Gaza to keep preparing for an offensive "because it will come." He said it will be a combined offensive from air, land and sea but did not give a timeframe.
Israel said it had struck 320 militant targets throughout Gaza over the last 24 hours. The military says it does not target civilians, and that Palestinian militants have fired over 7,000 rockets at Israel since the start of the war. On Monday the Palestinian Red Crescent said 20 trucks entered Gaza carrying food, water, medicine and medical supplies, through the Rafah crossing with Egypt, the only way into Gaza not controlled by Israel. It was the third delivery in as many days, each around the same size.
