Updated:

The rapid events this week that saw the killing of top Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in an apparent Israeli strike, have left the US, Egyptian, and Qatari mediators scrambling to salvage talks for a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

Families of Israeli hostages and their supporters marked 300 days since the 115 remaining hostages in Gaza were kidnapped.

They marched around the Israeli Defence Ministry on Thursday and asked for an immediate ceasefire deal that would bring their loved ones back home.

The march happened hours after the Israeli military said that it had confirmed that the head of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Deif, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July.
