STORYLINE:
Large smoke plumes were seen rising from the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning as clashes between Hamas militants and the Israeli military have intensified around Gaza City.

Footage captured by the Associated Press also showed Israeli tanks moving in the border area.

Elsewhere, negotiations were underway to reach a three-day humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza in exchange for the release of about a dozen hostages held by Hamas.

That’s according to two officials from Egypt, one from the United Nations and a Western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic efforts.

The deal would enable more aid, including limited amounts of fuel, to enter the besieged territory to alleviate worsening conditions for the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped there. It is being brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, according to the officials and the diplomat.

The war, now in its second month, was triggered by the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
