Egyptian mediators offered Israel and Palestine to establish a truce in the Gaza Strip. About this writes Reuters, citing a source in the Egyptian security service.

According to him, Egypt offered to establish a truce on the evening of August 7. Israel, writes Reuters, agreed, but the Palestinian side has not yet responded.

The Israeli army launched Operation Dawn against "terrorist targets" of the Islamic Jihad group on August 5. She launched strikes in the Gaza Strip, where the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas rules, and killed one of the commanders of the Islamic Jihad, Taysir al-Jabari. Also, 10 people, including a five-year-old girl, became victims of the strike, more than 50 people were injured.

In response, about 100 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza, Islamic Jihad said. On August 7, Israel reported on the assassination of another Islamic Jihad commander, the head of the southern division, Khalid Mansour. He and two other high-ranking allies were killed in an air strike on the city of Rafah.
