Overview

• Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least 14 Palestinians over the past 24 hours, including nine in a single attack in Beit Lahiya, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
• The Israeli military claimed the Beit Lahiya strike targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, some allegedly posing as journalists, a claim disputed by Palestinian officials.
• The January 19 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains tenuous, with over 150 Palestinians reportedly killed since its implementation.
• Hamas and Israeli negotiators, with mediation from Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S., are working to address the release of hostages and disagreements over the ceasefire's next phase.
• Hamas has proposed releasing an American-Israeli soldier and four hostages' bodies in exchange for advancing ceasefire talks, a move Israel dismissed as psychological warfare.
