7:45 P.M. Seven Israeli soldiers and officers killed in last 24 hours in the Gaza fighting, the IDF Spokesperson's reported, raising the IDF death toll of Operation Protective Edge to 25.
Four were killed in the morning incident in which 10 Palestinian gunmen breached the Israeli border near Nir Am. The soldiers were killed by an anti-tank rocket fired at them by the gunmen. Two other soldiers were killed by an anti-tank rocket in a separate incident in the Gaza Strip, during a firefight with Palestinian gunmen – one of them is Staff Sergeant Yuval Dagan, 22, of Kfar Saba, from the Golani Brigade. Another soldier was killed on Saturday by friendly fire in the Strip.
6:27 P.M. Hamas senior official Ismail Haniyeh says: "Our people's demands are clear – a cessation of aggression and a promise that it will not be resumed, removing the blockade and releasing the prisoners arrested during the IDF's activities in the West Bank." (Jack Khoury)
6:00 P.M. Egypt might be willing to amend its truce initiative to end the fighting in Gaza in order to accommodate the Palestinian militant movement Hamas, which had rejected its terms, three Egyptian officials told Reuters.
"Egypt does not mind adding some of Hamas's conditions provided that all involved parties approve," a senior Egyptian official said.
The change in the Egyptian stance is believed to have occurred against the background of a meeting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in Doha, capital of Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the new offer will be adopted by the Palestinians, and presented on their behalf to the Arab League, the UN chief and the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. At this stage it is still unclear what understandings have been reached by the Palestinians and Egypt, but it is believed that they include a reopening of the Rafah Crossing, to be manned by Palestinian Authority presidential guard and police.

5:10 P.M. Commander of the IDF Southern Command, Maj.Gen. Sami Turgeman, says Israeli troops have uncovered 14 tunnels in the Gaza Strip since the operation began, two of which targeting Israeli communities near the border – Netiv Haasara and Kerem Shalom.
Israeli army officers estimate that Hamas has put in hundreds of thousands of work hours into digging the tunnels, and has upgraded its underground activity significantly over the last decade. According to the IDF, while Hamas tunnels reached only 10 meters underground, the average depth of tunnels found now is 25 meters, and are reinforced with concrete. The Israeli army believes hundreds or possibly thousands of the Strip's residents are involved in the construction of the tunnels. (Gili Cohen)
3:45 P.M. Israeli tank shell hits the third floor of Al-Aqsa hospital in the central Gaza Strip, killing five people and wounding 70, Gaza Health Ministry says. A spokesman for the ministry says the third floor houses an intensive care unit and operating rooms. Other shells had fallen around the hospital, he says, with officials calling on the Red Cross to help evacuate patients. According to the report, all the casualties are medical personnel and patients.
It was also reported that ambulances were called in to evacuate the wounded to the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but were fired upon by IDF troops, damaging two vehicles, the spokesman said. The IDF does not allow emergency teams to evacuate wounded with prior coordination through the Red Cross – a process which can take hours. (Jack Khoury, Amira Hass)
3:27 P.M. IDF armored unit fires at three gunmen in Gaza Strip, killing two.
So far, Israeli troops uncovered 45 tunnel shafts, some inside homes and mosques, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit says. Since the ground incursion into Gaza began, 160 militants were killed. (Gili Cohen)
