Palestinian media confirmed that 70 people were killed in the Gaza Strip within 24 hours.
Noteworthy, Israeli officials have expressed a greater likelihood of expanding the occupation forces' military operation in the Gaza Strip than reaching an agreement on a hostage release deal and a ceasefire.
This was reported by the Israeli Kan News Channel, without providing details.
The channel explained that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security consultation session at his office, attended by senior officials.
