Israel was pressing forward with an operation in Gaza to combat what it described as a Hamas resurgence. In Lebanon, an uneasy cease-fire appeared to be largely holding.

The Israeli military said it killed a Palestinian it accused of involvement in Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel in a vehicle strike in Gaza, while medics said at least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across the enclave overnight and into Saturday.

Egypt is in talks with Israel to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Gaza as part of a new effort that could allow more aid to flow into the enclave and create movement toward a broader deal to halt the fighting there, Arab peace negotiators say.

CAIRO, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Israeli military strikes killed at least 40 Palestinians overnight and on Friday in the Gaza Strip, medics said, as efforts to revive Gaza ceasefire talks received a boost with officials from the Palestinian group Hamas headed to Cairo for a new round of talks.

Another night of relentless Israeli attacks devastated the Gaza Strip, with Gaza City enduring the heaviest overnight bombardment, leaving more Palestinians dead, injured, and trapped under rubble.
