Hamas has announced that it has received a response from Israel regarding its ceasefire proposal amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

The militant group, Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, put forward a proposal for a ceasefire to end the violence that has escalated in recent weeks. The proposal was reportedly mediated by Egypt, which has been working to broker a truce between the two sides.

While the details of Israel's response have not been disclosed, Hamas has confirmed that they have received it. The response comes as the conflict continues to result in casualties and destruction on both sides.

Israel and Hamas have been engaged in intense fighting, with Israel launching airstrikes on Gaza in response to rocket attacks from Hamas. The violence has led to the deaths of civilians, including children, and has drawn international condemnation.

The United Nations and various countries have called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and to allow for humanitarian aid to reach those in need. Efforts are being made to de-escalate the situation and bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

As the situation remains tense, the response from Israel to Hamas' ceasefire proposal will be closely watched to see if it paves the way for a cessation of hostilities and a path towards peace in the region.
