Israeli military conducts large-scale operations in Gaza

The Israeli military has launched wide-scale ground operation across Gaza, leading to massive casualties.

However, in Qatar, ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas continue, with Israeli leaving open the possibility of a ceasefire.

Smoke rises from buildings across Gaza, with residents running to collapsed buildings to rescue those trapped inside.

It's become a common sight in the enclave, with the Israeli military having launched an "extensive" new ground operation across the Gaza Strip Sunday, marking the fourth straight day of offensives in the region.

The Israeli military says, it is targeting Hamas' military infrastructure above and below ground, destroy Hamas commanders and the militants' remaining forces, and rescue the remaining Israeli hostages.

However, significant civilian casualties are being reported in the region.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reported that more than 400 people have been killed in the four days since the offensives began last week.

This includes over 100 people killed in Gaza on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Israel said ceasefire talks with Hamas have resumed in Doha, Qatar, adding that the negotiations are working on all possibilities, including ending the war.

The remarks are a step back from their previous stance that the end of war is impossible until Hamas is completely eliminated.

Local reports also say that Hamas' leader, Mohammed Sinwar, has been killed along with 10 of his associates. Sinwar, who was openly against negotiations with Israel, was found dead inside a Hamas-built tunnel during Israel's ground offensives.

Israel has also announced that it will finally allow a "basic amount of food" to enter Gaza, to ensure that "a famine crisis does not develop" after blockading the enclave for ten weeks.
