A hacker group known as Gonjeshke Darande, which has been previously linked to Israel, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that disabled petrol pumps across Iran, leading to an estimated 70% of the nation's pumps being out of action and causing significant disruption.

Israeli negotiators are offering Hamas an extension of the current ceasefire until Sunday morning in exchange for the release of all remaining civilian women and children hostages. Around 100 were taken during the October 7 attacks, with 60 released by Tuesday night and another ten expected to be freed on Wednesday. The ceasefire was initially set for four days but has been extended by two more. President Biden commented on the situation via a personal social media account.

President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu believe there is a good chance the ceasefire in Gaza will be extended beyond its four-day term, which is due to end on Tuesday morning. The terms of the truce allow for a possible extension of up to ten days, during which ten Israeli hostages and 30 Palestinian prisoners would be released daily. However, neither side has confirmed this arrangement, and Israel has strategic concerns about agreeing to it.

An explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza killed hundreds, with witnesses attributing the strike to Israel, which coincided with President Biden's visit to the Middle East. Israel denied involvement in the incident, which resulted in a significant death toll, including women and children, and is considered one of the deadliest single explosions in the conflict's recent history.

Israel released photographs alleging Hamas, labeled a terrorist group, murdered individuals including a baby during massacres last weekend. The images, deemed too graphic by The Times, were circulated on Israeli government social media to highlight the severity of the attacks. This follows unverified claims by some Israeli soldiers of beheadings by Hamas.
