Israel intensifies attacks on northern Gaza as Hamas considers ceasefire proposal

Israel has issued new forced displacement orders for residents of northern Gaza. Families were forced to wait until sunrise to begin escaping as Israel intensifies their ground operation in the area. This escalation coincides with the US-brokered ceasefire proposal that outlines a 60-day truce and a phased prisoner exchange with Israeli captives. Hamas has not delivered its response yet, but the intensification of Israel’s military campaign could be seen as an attempt to put pressure on Hamas to back down and agree to this proposal.
