Gaza News: On December 5th, an Israeli government spokesperson said that if an agreement can be reached with the Palestinian radical organization Hamas to release more hostages, Israel will consider another temporary ceasefire. Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammad also stated that mediation negotiations regarding Gaza are still ongoing, and Qatar will continue to work towards restoring a temporary ceasefire, releasing hostages, and exchanging prisoners, with the ultimate goal of ending the war.
At present, the Israeli military has dispatched tanks to the southern part of Gaza to expand military operations against Hamas. They have assembled a large water pump system that can be used to inject seawater into Hamas's underground tunnel in Gaza. This tactic can drive Hamas militants out of the tunnel, but it also poses a threat to Gaza's water supply. It is currently unclear whether the Israeli military will use this water pump before all hostages are released.
Israeli officials say that the Israeli military is using high-tech surveying software to track population movements in Gaza and issue evacuation orders. The system combines mobile phones, aerial surveillance, local news, and other signals such as artificial intelligence to continuously update maps to display the population density of the entire area. They are also making every effort to reduce civilian casualties, but unfortunately, this is part of the consequences of war.
