Mediators are trying to negotiate the exit of scores of fighters believed to hiding in a southern area of Gaza under Israeli control.

The Israel Defense Forces said it "eliminated a terrorist who was identified crossing the yellow line and approaching IDF troops in southern Gaza."

Israel on Monday returned the remains of 15 Palestinians to Gaza in the latest step forward for a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, as a senior White House envoy met with Israeli leaders to discuss the next stages of the fragile agreement.

Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.

The move relegates Israel to a secondary role in determining how and what humanitarian relief can enter Gaza, according to people familiar with the transition.

Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan broke down, although a ceasefire continues between the South Asian neighbours, a Taliban spokesperson said on Saturday.

Hamas said it would consider giving up missiles and rockets as part of a ceasefire with Israel, a sign the group is prepared to make further concessions toward the US-brokered roadmap for peace.

It was not immediately clear Thursday whether the Sudanese military would also accept the truce to halt 18 months of conflict with the Rapid Support Forces.

Palestinian mother Hanan al-Joujou, 31, has to feed her three children in the dark with a flashlight as there is no electricity in Gaza even after last month’s Israel-Hamas ceasefire. When they cannot afford to charge the flashlight, they go without food.

The foreign ministers of Turkey and Egypt will discuss the Gaza ceasefire and international efforts to rebuild the enclave once the war is over during talks in Ankara on Wednesday, a Turkish foreign ministry source said on Tuesday.
