pawel.gaul/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- A four-day cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has been extended by two days, Qatari officials announced on Monday.
Dozens of the more than 200 people taken hostage during Hamas' Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel and held in war-torn Gaza for nearly two months were released over the last few days during the cease-fire. Fifty-eight hostages -- 40 Israelis and 18 foreign citizens -- have been released by Hamas, exchanged for 117 Palestinians released from Israeli prisons.

Nov 30, 5:11 PM EST Death toll rises to 4 in shooting at Jerusalem bus stop
Four people have died from a shooting at a Jerusalem bus stop Thursday morning, according to the Shaaeri Tzedek hospital.
The death toll initially stood at three. The fourth death was reported Thursday night.
The deadly incident unfolded around 7:40 a.m. local time when a pair of heavily armed assailants drove up to the bus stop, got out of their vehicle and opened fire on civilians. Both gunmen were killed by two off-duty Israeli soldiers and a civilian who were near the scene, according to Israeli police.
Israeli police identified the two suspects as brothers in their 30s from the Sur Baker neighborhood of East Jerusalem. Both Israeli police and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the gunmen as "terrorists."
"The quick reaction of two fighters and a civilian who eliminated the terrorists prevented an even more serious attack. I salute them," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "The government headed by me will continue expanding the distribution of weapons to citizens. This is a measure that proves itself time and time again in the war against murderous terrorism."
Hamas claimed responsibility for the deadly shooting, saying in a statement that the attack was in response to Israel's "unprecedented crimes" including "brutal massacres" in Gaza and the killing of children in the occupied West Bank.

Nov 30, 4:42 PM EST Blinken: Death, destruction in northern Gaza cannot be repeated in southern Gaza
At a news conference in Israel on Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated that "Israel has the right to do everything it can to ensure that the slaughter Hamas carried out on Oct. 7 can never be repeated."
"Hamas cannot remain in control of Gaza," Blinken said, but he reiterated Israel’s obligation to minimize civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.
He said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Netanyahu's war cabinet that it's imperative that "the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale that we saw in northern Gaza not be repeated in [southern Gaza]."
"We made clear the imperative that before any operations go forward in southern Gaza, that there'd be a clear plan in place that puts a premium on protecting civilians, as well as sustaining and building on the humanitarian assistance that's getting into Gaza," Blinken said. "And the Israeli government agrees with that approach.”

Nov 30, 4:36 PM EST 6 more Israeli hostages released
Six more Israeli hostages were released Thursday evening and are back in Israel, according to the Israeli prime minister's office.
They were identified as: 29-year-old Shani Goren, 41-year-old Nili Margalit, 30-year-old Ilana Griczewski Kimchi, 29-year-old Sapir Cohen, 18-year-old Bilal Elziadna and 17-year-old Aisha Alziadna.
This comes hours after two other Israeli hostages were released: 21-year-old Mia Schem and 40-year-old Amit Sosna.
In exchange for the eight hostages released Thursday and two Russian citizens who were released Wednesday, Israel will release 30 Palestinian prisoners -- 23 minors and seven women -- on Thursday, according to the Qatari foreign minister.
Nov 30, 4:27 PM EST Israel prepared to strike at any hour: IDF
Amid the cease-fire, the Israeli military is prepared to continue the war and forces are prepared to strike at any hour, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said.
Israel insisted on continuing the cease-fire -- which was extended by one day early Thursday morning -- "to bring back the hostage women and children, and this is what we will do [Thursday night] for tomorrow, as well," Hagari said in Hebrew.
"The mediators, Qatar and Egypt, are also obligated to carry out the set agreement in order for the pause to continue," he said.
Nov 30, 4:20 PM EST 6 more Israeli hostages in Red Cross custody: IDF
Six more Israeli hostages are in Red Cross custody and are on their way to Israel Thursday evening, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
This comes hours after two other Israeli hostages were released: 21-year-old Mia Schem and 40-year-old Amit Sosna.
In exchange for the eight hostages released Thursday and two Russian citizens who were released Wednesday, Israel will release 30 Palestinian prisoners -- 23 minors and seven women -- on Thursday, according to the Qatari foreign minister.
Nov 30, 2:49 PM EST US doesn't know where last unaccounted for American woman is: Kirby
The U.S. does not know where the last unaccounted for American woman is or what her condition is, according to National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.
Since the cease-fire began several days ago, only one American woman and one American child have been released by Hamas.
Asked by ABC News if the U.S. believes Hamas does not know where all the hostages are -- or if they're propagating that information as a delay tactic -- Kirby said even though some other groups also took hostages, "That’s not to say that Hamas doesn’t have visibility on that, or doesn’t have a way to find out about it."
Kirby said Israel has made clear that "when these pauses are over, they intend to go back at it."
"And as they make that decision, they’ll continue to find support from the U.S. in terms of tools and capabilities, the weapons systems they need, as well as the advice and the perspectives that we can offer in terms of urban warfare," Kirby said.
He added that he believes the U.S. approach has had a "practical effect" on the way Israel is conducting its operations. Kirby said the U.S. shared experiences with urban warfare in places like Fallujah and Mosul in Iraq, and that the Israelis were "receptive" to those lessons learned.

Nov 30, 2:40 PM EST Kirby: Jerusalem attack does not 'technically' violate cease-fire agreement
Thursday morning's shooting carried out by Hamas at a Jerusalem bus stop did not violate the cease-fire agreement because "this attack happened in Jerusalem" and "the pause is in the fighting more specific to Gaza," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said.
"It didn't technically violate the deal that was in place, but obviously it's a stark reminder of who they’re facing and what kind of enemy they’re opposing," Kirby continued.
"If anybody's guessing and wondering whether Hamas still has murderous intentions against the Israeli people, just look at what happened in Jerusalem," Kirby said.
At least three people were killed and six others were injured in Thursday's shooting. The two gunmen were killed by two off-duty Israeli soldiers and a civilian who were near the scene, according to Israeli police.
Hamas claimed responsibility, saying the shooting was in response to Israel's "unprecedented crimes" including "brutal massacres" in Gaza and the killing of children in the occupied West Bank.

pawel.gaul/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has ended, according to the Israel Defense Forces, which said early Friday morning that Hamas had broken the cease-fire.
The end of the cease-fire comes 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.

Dec 01, 9:55 AM EST 'Children lying on the floor with limbs missing' in Gaza: UNICEF
As fighting between Israel and Hamas resumes, Israel's "relentless bombardment" in Gaza on Friday has been "utterly terrifying" -- and has had an immediate impact “on the faces of children," UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told ABC News.
"I feel I was starting to see childhood return when you chat to them -- that’s been replaced by fear again," Elder said. "There’s a trauma which returns very quickly."
Elder described seeing "children lying on the floor with limbs missing." He said some children who had already been injured were being moved around hospitals to make room for other casualties to come in.
He said sanitation "has broken down" and Gaza’s hospitals are now "on life support."
“Disease threatens just as many children" as the bombings, he said.
Over the last seven days, aid has been reaching Gaza, he said, but, "seven days was never ever enough.”
Elder said he’s "terrified" that if the fighting continues for even another couple of weeks, “many, many more thousands of people" could be killed.

Dec 01, 9:40 AM EST Israel, Hamas trade blame for reigniting the war
As a truce ended between Israel and Hamas on Friday, both sides traded blame for reigniting the war.
Israel accused Hamas of violating the cease-fire by firing rockets toward Israeli territory just after 7 a.m. local time, as negotiations failed to further extend the truce. The Israeli military has since resumed combat in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, with ground, air and naval forces striking more than 200 "terror targets" in the north and south thus far, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, Hamas accused Israel of "persistently rejecting" all its offers to release more hostages in Gaza amid negotiations to extend the cease-fire agreement on Thursday night. Hamas alleged that it had offered to hand over more Israeli detainees, including the elderly, as well as the bodies of those who have died in captivity, which the militant group claimed was a result of previous Israeli bombings.
"However, the [Israeli] occupation, driven by a predetermined decision to resume criminal aggression, remained unresponsive," Hamas said in a statement.

Dec 01, 8:51 AM EST Israeli kibbutz confirms deaths of 3 Hamas-held hostages in Gaza
An Israeli kibbutz confirmed Friday the death of three of its residents who were taken hostage by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack.
Kibbutz Nir Oz announced that 85-year-old resident Aryeh Zalmanovich has died in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. Zalmanovich was one of the founders of the kibbutz, which is located in southern Israel near the border with Gaza.
“Father of two sons and grandfather of five grandchildren. Aryeh was a man of the land all his life who was engaged in agriculture and field crops,” the kibbutz said in a statement. “A man of books and has a wide knowledge of history and knowledge of the country.”
Gaza's militant rulers, Hamas, released a video in mid-November that appeared to show Zalmanovich looking ill. The group claimed he had later died.
Kibbutz Nir Oz also announced that 54-year-old resident Ronen Engel has died in Hamas captivity in Gaza. The kibbutz described Engel as a "photographer, MDA volunteer and motorcycle enthusiast." His wife and two daughters were also kidnapped to Gaza on Oct. 7 and released this week, according to the kibbutz.
A third resident of kibbutz Nir Oz, 56-year-old resident Maya Goren, was also confirmed to have died in Hamas captivity in Gaza. Her husband was among those killed on Oct. 7, according to the kibbutz.
"Maya was a hardworking and dedicated kindergarten teacher, and gave loving care to the kibbutz children for many years," the kibbutz said in a statement.

Dec 01, 8:50 AM EST Gaza death toll rises as war resumes
More than 100 people were killed in the Gaza Strip on Friday as Israel resumed its bombardment of the war-torn territory, after a cease-fire with Hamas ended.
Within hours of the truce ending on Friday morning, at least 32 people were killed by Israeli strikes. That number had increased to at least 109 by Friday afternoon and hundreds more were wounded, according to Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
"Medical teams are dealing with large numbers of wounded with the end of the truce and renewed bombing of civilians this morning," health ministry spokesperson Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement. "The wounded are lying on the ground in emergency departments and in front of operating rooms as a result of the accumulation of cases."
"The health situation in Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip is extremely disastrous as a result of major hospitals being out of service," he added. "Medical and clinical capabilities in Gaza and the north are very limited. The three remaining hospitals in Gaza and the north are small and not qualified to receive large numbers of wounded."
More than 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war broke out on Oct. 7, according to the health ministry.

Qatar announced Friday morning that efforts to renew a truce between Israel and Hamas "are continuing," despite the resumption of Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip.
