Israel's military has launched numerous strikes on the Gaza Strip over the weekend, killing Hamas militants and causing significant damage to hospital facilities. Pressure is mounting for a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, including the release of hostages held in Gaza. Both sides have resumed indirect cease-fire talks through mediators in Qatar. Previous negotiations have failed due to gaps in demands, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening. Israel's military offensive against Hamas has been ongoing for over three months.
