Hamas Says Fighters in Rafah Will Not Surrender

On Sunday , Hamas fighters in Rafah said they will not surrender and urged mediators to find a solution, while Al-Qassam Brigades declared surrender does not exist in their dictionary.
Egyptian mediators proposed fighters hand over weapons to Egypt and provide tunnel information for destruction, while U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said a deal for about 200 fighters would test disarmament across Gaza.
Al-Qassam Brigades said Israel engaged the fighters on Sunday, claiming they were defending themselves, and the militant group denied responsibility for attacks Israel blamed on Hamas.
Al-Qassam Brigades said it will hand over the body of deceased Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin on Sunday at 2 p.m., and local health authorities reported one man killed in an Israeli airstrike in Bani Suhaila east of Khan Younis, with no immediate Israeli military comment.
Since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire on October 10, Rafah area, Gaza has seen at least two attacks on Israeli forces, while health officials say Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed nearly 69,000 Palestinians and Hamas-led militants seized 251 hostages on October 7.
