IDF Raids Gaza Schools Suspected as Hamas Bases

The Israel Defense Forces conducted raids on schools in Gaza City, alleging that they were being used as bases by Hamas. Troops apprehended terrorists hiding in the schools and eliminated additional terrorists in the area. The IDF also found weapons and underground terrorist infrastructure in Khan Yunis and directed an airstrike on Hamas terrorists firing at troops from a compound in Jabalia. Meanwhile, Israeli and Qatari officials planned to meet in Norway to negotiate the release of hostages held in Gaza. Internet disruptions caused by the war have led to a communications blackout, hindering aid deliveries and exacerbating suffering for Palestinians. Amidst the conflict, a Palestinian youth leader opposing Hamas' rule emerged, advocating for peace and a two-state solution.
