The Palestinian Hamas terrorist group has cut off negotiations with Israel, demanding a lull in fighting before any more talks. Israel, which is closing in on Hamas leaders in Gaza, refused that demand.
The Times of Israel reported:
A Hamas statement claims that it will not agree to free any more hostages or even negotiate over them until the end of fighting.
The stance, which has been trotted out by the terror group before, comes amid intense talks for a possible deal that would see hostages released in exchange for Palestinian inmates in Israeli prison. The group already claims it won’t accept a temporary truce.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would continue the war to “eliminate” Hamas even if negotiations continued.

Published December 21, 2023
Footage released by the Israeli military reveals a new network of tunnels in Gaza, it said on Wednesday, as well as a workplace used for constructing the passages.
The IDF said the videos show a ‘large network’ around Gaza City’s Palestine Square, fortified by blast doors and security cameras, as well as a workshop used to build tunnel components – hidden beside a school for deaf children.
Its discovery comes as Israeli forces continue their search for the Hamas leadership responsible for the October 7 attack that saw terrorists kill around 1,200 people in Israel and take a further 240 hostages back into Gaza.
Among the homes linked to the tunnel network were those of Muhammad Deif – the shadowy leader of Hamas’s military wing, and Yahya Sinwar – Hamas’s top official inside Gaza, the Israeli military said.
Palestine Square is located in the upscale Rimal neighbourhood, the once bustling centre of power in the coastal territory that was heavily bombed during the early days of the on-going war as Israel attempted to knock out Hamas’s leadership.

A terrorist who took part in the October 7 attack was captured in Gaza, while a wounded IDF soldier recounted how he took out two terrorists attacking him.

Israeli soldiers from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion and the 188th Armored Brigade on Monday destroyed “Palestine Square” in Gaza City’s Shejaia neighborhood, including smashing a Hamas statue commemorating the killing of Golani soldiers during the 2014 Gaza war, JNS reported.
A terrorist from Hamas’ “Nukhba Force” and a terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre were captured in a school in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza, Arutz Sheva reports.
“The terrorists were captured during a raid on the school on Friday by soldiers from the IDF’s 401st Brigade. During the battle, many Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists holed up in the school were killed or captured. The captured terrorists were turned over to Unit 504 of the Intelligence Directorate,” Arutz Sheva wrote.
The IDF announced that the 252nd Division has completed its operation in Beit Hanoun in Gaza, which has taken the last few weeks. The division destroyed the main tunnels in the area and killed terrorists. Infantry, armor, engineering forces, and fire support from the 252nd Division were used to defeat the Beit Hanoun Brigade of Hamas, including taking over command centers and outposts of the terrorist organization, among them schools and public buildings in which tunnel entrances and munitions were found.
The Division killed numerous terrorists and destroyed munitions depots, rocket launchers aimed at Israel, and underground command centers that served Hamas. The underground infrastructure used by Hamas in the area was significantly damaged, and both tunnel entrances and central portions of the tunnels were destroyed.
