Gaza: The Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing, on Monday claimed that it has killed more than 10 Israeli soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip during the past 72 hours.

Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Brigades in a post on Social media said that after more than 100 days of the “comprehensive destruction and genocide carried out by the Israeli army, our members are still dealing it harsh blows.

He stressed that the Israeli army, which “has hidden the true extent of its losses,” “will withdraw from the northern Gaza Strip, and its “only achievement” is “destruction, devastation and massacres against innocent people.”

Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Monday that “progress” has been achieved in the talks held in Qatar on a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that will secure the release of the hostages.

“There is progress in the negotiations to release the hostages,” Sa’ar said during joint remarks alongside Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who is on a trip to the region.

“Israel very much wants to release the hostages and is working hard to reach a deal,” Sa’ar said.

The Israeli delegation, led by Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet domestic security agency head Ronen Bar, arrived in Doha on Saturday for discussions with US President-elect Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff and Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Xinhua news agency reported.

Israeli officials also indicated on Monday that the negotiators have made “substantial progress” in talks in Qatar on a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, though no agreement has been achieved yet.
