自哈马斯恐怖分子10月7日入侵以色列四个多月以来，以色列军方继续轰炸邻近的加沙地带。
这场冲突是自1948年以色列建国以来交战双方之间最致命的一次冲突，没有迹象表明冲突会很快平息。使100多名人质从加沙获释的短暂停火仍是一个遥远的记忆。
我们对这场冲突的了解
以色列和控制加沙地带的巴勒斯坦激进组织哈马斯最近爆发的战争已经过去四个月的标志.
根据加沙哈马斯控制的卫生部的数据，自10月7日以来，加沙地带至少有29410人被以色列军队杀害，另有69465人受伤。
根据以色列国防军的数据，自10月7日以来，哈马斯和其他巴勒斯坦武装分子在以色列造成至少1200人死亡，6900人受伤。
在以色列占领的约旦河西岸，暴力事件也激增。根据巴勒斯坦卫生部的数据，自10月7日以来，以色列军队已在该地区杀害了至少395人。
这场持续的战争是在哈马斯领导的武装分子从邻国加沙通过海陆空对以色列南部发动前所未有的入侵后开始的。据以色列当局称，数十人被杀，另有200多人被劫为人质。以色列军方随后发动了报复性空袭，随后对加沙进行了地面入侵。加沙是一片140平方英里的领土，自哈马斯2007年掌权以来，有200多万巴勒斯坦人生活在以色列实施的封锁下，并得到了埃及的支持。与以色列不同，加沙没有空袭警报或防空洞。
拜登“希望”下周一加沙停火
拜登总统表示，他“希望”在3月4日之前实现加沙停火。
“我希望在周末结束前，”总统周一告诉记者。“我的国家安全顾问告诉我，我们很接近了，但还没有完成。我希望下周一之前我们能实现停火。”
奥巴马总统在拜访美国全国广播公司“深夜秀”节目主持人塞斯·梅耶斯时，在纽约市的范莱文冰淇淋店停留时发表了上述评论。
美国国务院表示人质谈判取得了“进展”
美国国务院发言人马特·米勒周一表示，过去几天的人质谈判取得了“进展”，但他表示尚不清楚哈马斯是否会接受最新提议。
米勒说:“我们与埃及、以色列、美国和卡塔尔之间的对话取得了进展。”
然后他被问及他们是否可能在3月10日开始的斋月前达成协议。
“我不能做出这样的评估，因为这取决于哈马斯。我们相信达成协议是可能的，我们希望哈马斯同意达成协议。
近东救济工程处称，自一月份以来，对加沙的援助已经减少了一半
根据联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处主任专员菲利普·拉扎里尼的说法，从1月到2月，对加沙的人道主义援助下降了50%。
拉扎里尼周一在社交媒体上说:“援助应该增加而不是减少，以解决200万生活在绝望中的巴勒斯坦人的巨大需求。”“障碍包括:缺乏政治意愿，过境点经常关闭&军事行动导致缺乏安全+民间秩序崩溃。”
拉扎里尼强调了停火的必要性。
以色列国防军向战争内阁提交了从“战斗地区”撤离加沙人的计划
当地时间周一早间，以色列总理办公室发布的一份新闻稿称，以色列国防军已向以色列战争内阁提交了一份“从加沙地带交战地区撤离人口的计划”。
声明补充说:“此外，向加沙地带提供人道主义援助的计划获得了批准，该计划将防止在加沙地带北部和其他地区发生的抢劫事件。”
Israel-Gaza live updates: Biden 'hopes' for cease-fire in Gaza by next Monday
More than four months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.
The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.
What we know about the conflict
The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, has passedthe four-month mark.
In the Gaza Strip, at least 29,410 people have been killed and 69,465 others have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 395 people in the territory since Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The ongoing war began after Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented incursion into southern Israel from neighboring Gaza via land, sea and air. Scores of people were killed while more than 200 others were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. The Israeli military subsequently launched retaliatory airstrikes followed by a ground invasion of Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where more than 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by Israel and supported by Egypt since Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza, unlike Israel, has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.
Biden 'hopes' for cease-fire in Gaza by next Monday
President Biden said he "hopes" to have a cease-fire in Gaza by March 4.
"I hope by the end of the weekend," the president told reporters Monday. "My national security advisor tells me that we’re close, it's not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we’ll have a ceasefire."
The comments came during a stop at Van Leeuwen’s ice cream shop in New York City as the president visited NBC "Late Night" host Seth Meyers.
State Department says there's been 'progress' in hostage talks
State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said Monday that there’s been "progress" in hostage talks over the last few days, but he said it’s unclear whether Hamas would accept the latest proposal.
"We’ve had progress with the conversations we've had between Egypt, Israel, the United States and Qatar," Miller said.
He was then asked if they might reach a deal before Ramadan, which begins on March 10.
"I can't make that assessment because it depends on Hamas. We believe a deal is possible and we hope Hamas will agree to one," he said.
Aid to Gaza has dropped by half since January, UNRWA says
Humanitarian aid to Gaza dropped by 50% from January to February, according to Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
"Aid was supposed to increase not decrease to address the huge needs of 2 million Palestinians in desperate living conditions," Lazzarini said on social media Monday. "Among the obstacles: lack of political will, regular closing of the crossing points & lack of security due to military operations + collapse of civil order."
Lazzarini stressed the need for a cease-fire.
IDF presents war cabinet with plan to evacuate Gazans from 'areas of fighting'
The Israel Defense Forces has presented Israel's war cabinet with a "plan for evacuating the population from the areas of fighting in the Gaza Strip," a release from the prime minister's office said early Monday local time.
"In addition, the plan for providing humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip in a manner that will prevent the looting that has occurred in the northern Strip and other areas was approved," the statement added.
