pawel.gaul/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The temporary cease-fire between Hamas and Israel ended on Dec. 1, and Israel has resumed its bombardment of Gaza.

The end of the cease-fire came after Hamas freed over 100 of the more than 200 people its militants took hostage during the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel. In exchange, Israel released more than 200 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.

Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:

UN Security Council passes Gaza humanitarian resolution

The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for urgent steps to allow safe, unhindered and expanded humanitarian access throughout Gaza.

Thirteen nations voted in favor, none voted against and two -- the U.S. and Russia -- abstained.

In response, the Red Cross said in a statement that it welcomes the demands for humanitarian access, the release of hostages and for international humanitarian law to be upheld.

But with the Gaza death toll climbing and the living conditions continuing to deteriorate, "much more is clearly needed," the statement said. "The only way fully to protect Palestinian lives, enable a sufficient humanitarian response, and offer the best chance of hostage release, is to stop the fighting."

"The failure of the [U.N. Security Council] to demand an immediate and sustained ceasefire is unjustifiable," the Red Cross said.

US hostage confirmed dead

Gadi Hagi, a 73-year-old American-Israeli hostage and member of Kibbutz Nir Oz, has been confirmed dead, the kibbutz said.

Hagi was killed on Oct. 7 at the kibbutz and his body was taken to Gaza where it's still being held, according to a kibbutz spokesperson.

Hagi’s wife, 70-year-old Judy Weinstein, is wounded and still being held hostage, the kibbutz said.

Hagi and his wife were shot and kidnapped on Oct. 7, according to the Hostage Center.

"Gadi was a man full of humor who knew how to make those around him laugh," the Hostage Center said in a statement. "A musician at heart, a gifted flautist, he played in the IDF Orchestra and was involved with music his whole life."

Hagi was a father of four and a grandfather of seven.

Kibbutz Reim survivors move together to Tel Aviv in first-of-its-kind ‘urban kibbutz’

The surviving members of Kibbutz Reim have relocated as a unified group to temporary housing in Tel Aviv. The move creates a "first-of-its-kind urban kibbutz," according to a statement from the kibbutz.

The families will live in a compound that includes two buildings and a community center, similar to what the original kibbutz had. The new temporary housing will also connect the survivors to services including psychological support and a local school.

White House on Gaza humanitarian crisis: 'Nobody can look at the images … [and] not feel sense of pain'

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the U.S. is “leading the world” in getting humanitarian aid to Gaza, where the crisis worsens by the day.

“Nobody can look at the images coming out of Gaza and … not feel a sense of pain and anguish for so many innocent people that have been displaced from their homes, families killed, many wounded,” Kirby said.

ABC News asked Kirby about a letter sent to President Joe Biden this week from a group of House Democrats that raised concerns with Israel's military operation in Gaza. The lawmakers called the civilian death toll in Gaza unacceptable and urged Biden to work to shift Israel’s strategy.

Kirby acknowledged, “We don't believe you're going to be able to wipe out the ideology that inspires Hamas through military action."

White House: 'Serious' talks continue on hostage exchange

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said there have been "serious talks and negotiations over trying to get back into another pause and a hostage exchange."

“It won’t get lost over the holidays. We're working on it every single day, almost every hour of every day," Kirby said.

Kirby said the Israelis recognize that "they need to transition" to a lower intensity stage of fighting.

"They have said themselves that they realize they're going to have to transition from a higher intensity level of operations, such as what they're doing now, to something a bit lower intensity. They will decide when, they will decide what lower intensity looks like, and what that means," he said.

Kirby said the U.S. is "not dictating the terms and timelines to the Israelis" on moving to lower intensity military operations.

IDF finds GoPro footage of 3 killed Israeli hostages before their death

GoPro footage from an Israel Defense Forces canine unit dog shows the three Israeli hostages five days before they were mistakenly killed by IDF forces, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a press briefing Wednesday.

"Five days before the abductees were killed by the IDF, amid the encounter of the Golani patrol, the dog came forward to clean the area," Hagari said. "Terrorists shot the dog. Analyzing the voices in the video, we could recognize the abductees."

"All three of them were identified by voice recognition,” Hagari said, adding that they were one kilometer from where they were mistakenly killed days later.

Hagari said the three Israeli hostages were able to escape because the Hamas terrorists holding them captive were killed.

“From there they went through a heroic journey of escape until that terrible tragedy happened," Hagari said.

The IDF said on Friday its forces mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages who were carrying a stick with a white cloth in an area of "very intense fighting" in Gaza. The IDF said the three hostages were "mistakenly identified" as a threat.

The three men were identified as 28-year-old Yotam Haim; 26-year-old Alon Shamriz; and 22-year-old Samer Talalka.
