Israel has reportedly offered Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels in eastern Rafah the chance to surrender and be relocated, provided they agree to disarm and pledge not to return to violence. The proposal, sent via mediating countries, would see the fighters transferred to Israeli prisons with the possibility of later release to the Hamas-controlled area of Gaza. Despite the offer, none of the operatives have surrendered, and several have been killed or captured while attempting to flee or attack Israeli forces. Hamas has publicly acknowledged the situation for the first time, urging international pressure on Israel to allow safe passage for its members. The ongoing standoff highlights the challenges in enforcing the ceasefire and the complexities of negotiations between the parties.
