Israel's War Cabinet has unanimously voted that Israel will continue the military operation in Rafah in Gaza to exert military pressure on Hamas in order to promote the release of hostages.

Tel Aviv [Israel], May 7 (HBTV): Israel's War Cabinet Monday night unanimously voted that Israel will continue the military operation in Rafah in Gaza to "exert military pressure on Hamas in order to promote the release of our hostages and the other goals of the war."       

In response to Hamas' offer for a hostage deal, the War Cabinet said, "At the same time, although the Hamas proposal is far from Israel's necessary requirements, Israel will send a delegation of mediators to exhaust the possibility of reaching an agreement under conditions acceptable to Israel."   

Reports were made Monday night that the terrorist organization Hamas had announced that it had agreed to a deal for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza for the past seven months.           

However, no confirmation has been made, nor any details revealed, as to what exactly Hamas has agreed to.
