'Positive progress'
Most major issues in Gaza cease-fire talks have been resolved, Qatari-owned newspaper The New Arab reported on Thursday, citing Egyptian sources.
According to the report, "disagreements between Hamas and Israel now focus on just one area."
Meanwhile, a senior Egyptian official told Saudi newspaper Al Sharq, "There has been positive progress in the negotiations as contacts continue with all parties."
Israeli forces struck the southern Lebanese city of Tyre in the early hours of Thursday, hours after warning residents to evacuate and declaring all territory south of the Zahrani River, some 40 kilometres from the border, a "combat zone."
The Israeli military has ordered the entire city of Tyre, along with surrounding Palestinian camps, villages and neighbourhoods, to evacuate immediately, publishing a detailed map alongside the order on Wednesday.
Israel said on Wednesday it had killed Hamas's newly appointed armed wing chief in Gaza, days after it killed his predecessor, while intensifying military pressure in Gaza and expanding operations in Lebanon.
