The exodus via the Rafah crossing into Egypt coincides with the liberation of four hostages by Hamas and a successful Israeli military operation to rescue an Israeli soldier. Israeli troops intensified their incursion into Gaza while airstrikes once again targeted a refugee camp for the second consecutive day. Paltel, the primary telecommunications service provider, has indicated that communications and internet services are gradually coming back online after experiencing a second major interruption within a five-day span. Aid organizations caution that such outages severely hamper their relief efforts in an already precarious environment in Gaza. The Health Ministry in Gaza, under Hamas control, reports that the Palestinian death toll in the conflict has reached 8,805. In the occupied West Bank, violent incidents and Israeli operations have resulted in the deaths of 130 Palestinians. In Israel, the death toll has risen to over 1,400, primarily civilians killed during the initial wave of Hamas attacks on October 7 that triggered the conflict. Additionally, around 240 hostages have been taken into Gaza by the militant organization. A female Israeli soldier was among those rescued in a special forces mission.
