UPDATE: A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses a short while ago, the military says. Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 42 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu confirmed on Thursday that Israel has accepted the outline of a new agreement put forth by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, as he spoke with relatives of hostages who were killed or are still in captivity.
Despite the agreement, Netanyahu remained cautious about the likelihood of Hamas honoring it. “Hamas has yet to respond. We don’t believe that Hamas would return the last hostage, and therefore, we continue fighting until Hamas is eliminated, and we will not leave the Gaza Strip until all the hostages are in our hands.”

A high-stakes ceasefire framework proposed by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff has been tentatively approved by Israel, but is facing resistance from Hamas, which has expressed frustration with what it argues is a pro-Israel tilt in the deal. According to details published by Al Arabiya, the proposal calls for a 60-day ceasefire to begin once Hamas agrees, with President Donald Trump personally guaranteeing full Israeli compliance throughout the truce. Under the plan, 28 Israeli hostages—10 alive and 18 deceased—would be returned in two phases during the first week. On Day 1, Hamas would release five living hostages and nine bodies, followed by an identical release on Day 7.
