STORYLINE:
Hundreds marched on Saturday in Jerusalem demanding the Israeli government reach a deal to release hostages being held by Hamas and other groups in Gaza.
Carrying banners and Israeli flags, relatives of hostages and other supporters arrived in Jerusalem after a four-day march from Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, U.S., Egyptian and Qatari mediators continued to push to narrow gaps between Israel and Hamas over a proposed deal for a three-phase cease-fire and hostage release plan in Gaza.
The U.S.-backed proposal calls for an initial cease-fire with a limited hostage release and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from populated areas in Gaza.
At the same time, the two sides will negotiate terms of the second phase, which is supposed to bring a full hostage release in return for a permanent cease-fire and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
On Saturday, Israel said it targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike in southern Gaza that local health officials said killed at least 71 people.
It's not immediately known whether Mohammed Deif was among the dead.
Hamas rejected the claim. Israel's military said it is still verifying the results of Saturday's strike.
Deif is believed by many to be the chief architect of the Oct. 7 attack.
Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in which militants stormed into southern Israel killing about 1,200 people and abducting around 250.
Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,400 people in Gaza and wounded more than 88,000, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
More than 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes, and most are now crowded into squalid tent camps, facing widespread hunger.
