The Israelis celebrate the seventh of October, as talks on the peace plan continued in Gaza

The Israelis gathered throughout the country to revive the two -year traffic on the attack led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, as negotiations in Egypt continued to end the war in Gaza.

The attack killed more than 1,200 people and returned 251 others to Gaza as hostages. This was the bloodiest day for the Jews since the Holocaust.

Israel responded to a military attack on Gaza, killing more than 67,000 people, according to the Hamas -running Ministry of Health in the Strip. Its numbers are reliable by the United Nations and other international bodies.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that besides “massive pain”, Israel showed “the ability to withstand a miracle.”

Netanyahu said on Tuesday: “Our thirsty enemies hit us hard, but they did not break us,” Netanyahu said on Tuesday.

He pledged to “achieve all the goals of the war: the return of all the kidnappers, the elimination of the Hamas regime, and the promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”

Referring to Hamas’s attack on southern Israel two years ago, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said: “The horror of that dark day will remain forever and forever in all our memories.”

He also called on all parties to agree to US President Donald Trump’s plan for peace, describing it as a “historical opportunity” to end this tragic conflict.

The Israeli government postponed the establishment of official memorial ceremonies until October 16 – after the end of the Jewish holiday season – but the events are still continuing throughout the country on Tuesday.

A memorial ceremony was held for Israeli families who were killed in the Hamas attack in Tel Aviv. It was organized by the families themselves, and it was broadcast on Israeli TV channels.

Hours ago, a minute of silence was stood throughout the country.

Meanwhile, Israeli negotiating and Hamas teams met in the Sharm El Sheikh Egyptian resort on the Red Sea for the second day of indirect talks to discuss the terms of the proposal.

A senior Palestinian official familiar with the BBC negotiations said that an evening round of indirect talks started at 19:00 Cairo time (17:00 GMT).

The official said that the morning session ended without concrete results, amid disputes over the Israeli withdrawal maps proposed from Gaza and about the guarantees that Hamas wanted to ensure that Israel does not resume fighting after the first stage of the deal.

He added that the talks are “difficult and have not yet resulted in any real breakthrough,” but he pointed out that the mediators are working hard to narrow the gaps between the two sides.

Earlier, a Palestinian official said the negotiations focused on five main issues: a permanent ceasefire; The hostages who are still detained by Hamas with Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza exchanged; And the withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza; Humanitarian aid arrangements; And the post -war judgment of the region.

A source familiar with the talks told the BBC that it is expected that President Trump’s negotiators, Steve Whistv and Jarid Kushner, will leave the United States this evening and arrive in Egypt on Wednesday.

“We have a really good opportunity to reach an agreement, and it will be a permanent agreement,” the president told reporters at the White House on Monday.

In Tel Aviv’s hostage square earlier, 29 -year -old Hajar – whose brother escaped the attack on the Nova Music Festival, where 378 people were killed and gunmen from Hamas detained dozens of others’ hostages – to the BBC: “There is no longer a place that resembles the country, and until all the hostages return, none of us will feel safe.”

“When we see everyone in their homes again, we can breathe again. After that we can start recovery,” she added.

People gathered outside the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem to show their support for the families of the hostages. Israel says 48 are still detained in Gaza, and it is believed that 20 of them are alive.

“We need to make all the necessary concessions in order for the hostages back to their homes. But we really want guarantees that we will be safe,” the demonstration told the BBC.

Opinion polls now constantly indicate that about 70% of Israelis want to end the war in exchange for the release of the hostages.

At the Nova Festival website, the mourners gathered to offer condolences.

From there it is possible to hear the Israeli air and artillery raids, just a few kilometers in Gaza, where witnesses said that the intense Israeli bombing continues.

In Gaza City, air and artillery raids were reported in the early hours of Tuesday on the neighborhoods of Tal Al -Hawa, Western, Nasr and Al -Nasr, and in the Sheikh Radwan eastern neighborhood, as well as the beach refugee camp to the northwest.

“When the evening comes, fear comes with him,” Iman Al -Wahidi, a resident of Gaza City, whose 17 -year -old son was killed in an Israeli air strike last year.

“My three children and I are afraid of air strikes. We sleep together all night, we embrace each other, especially my younger child who puts his head over me all night.”

“Every second we look at the news to see what happened. I am afraid that the ceasefire will not be completed and that the war will return to us,” he added.

Al -Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said that until this afternoon he received the bodies of six people, including three who were killed in an Israeli raid on the southern Al -Sabra neighborhood.

Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis said that two other bodies were taken to the hospital. Places said that one of them was killed by the Israeli forces while seeking aid to the south.

James Elder, a UNICEF spokesman, described how mothers and wounded children were “lining up on the floors of” Nasser Corridor “, and that premature children had to share one bed or an oxygen source.

“In one of the children’s room, there were three children and three mothers on one bed, and one source of oxygen, and mothers were alternating oxygen for 20 minutes for each child,” he told Reuters news agency. “This is the level of despair that mothers have reached now.”

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that 25 out of 38 hospitals in the sector are now out of service, and that the remaining 13 hospitals are only partially operating.

On the other hand, the Israeli army said that a missile fired from northern Gaza on Israel on Tuesday morning, which led to the launch of the sirens in Nutiv Hsara. She added that the projectile fell in the area without reporting injuries or damage.

Israel has prevented international journalists from entering the Gaza Strip independently since the beginning of the war, which makes verifying the allegations of both sides.
