Smoke rises over Gaza ahead of talks between Hamas, Israel
Smoke rose over Gaza City on October 6 as Hamas officials were in Egypt ahead of talks with Israel, which the US hopes will bring a halt to the war in the strip and the release of hostages.
Talks were set to begin as the war in Gaza reaches its two-year mark with the majority of 2.2 million Gazans homeless and hungry in a sea of rubble after Israeli strikes that have killed over 67,000 Palestinians, mainly civilians, Gaza health officials say.
On October 7, 2023 Hamas-led militants stormed over the border into Israeli communities, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies - the single bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas' attack ignited the war.
Israeli negotiators were also due to travel to Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh later in the day for talks focused on freeing hostages, part of the US president's 20-point blueprint for ending the two-year-old conflict.
