Hamas said it accepted a proposal from mediators to release one living American-Israeli hostage and the bodies of four dual-nationals, but Israel cast doubt on the offer.

Hamas, the militant group the U.S. has labeled as terrorists, says it's willing to release the one living American hostage and bodies of four others it's held in Gaza since the 2023 attacks in Israel.

Israel launched airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing more than 400 Palestinians, local health officials said, and shattering a ceasefire in place since January with its deadliest bombardment in a 17-month war with Hamas.

A coalition of hostage families and protesters against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's moves against the judiciary and parts of the security establishment is coming together again after war returned this week to Gaza.

While strikes on Gaza continued for a second day after the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas collapsed, critics of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marched toward his office, demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza.
