Israel and Islamic Jihad continue to clash in Gaza, ceasefire proposal on the table.

Israel has ruled out an immediate truce in Gaza, stating that the onus is on Palestinian militants to stop launching rockets from an arsenal that could be depleted within days. The Israeli military has continued to strike Islamic Jihad command centres and rocket launchers in Gaza, while militants have fired over 1,000 rockets into Israel. Egypt has been trying to mediate a truce, but talks have been described as "complicated" and "tough". At least 33 Palestinians and one Israeli have been killed in the conflict so far.
