Hello MEE readers. It is now past 9 am in Gaza on the fourth day of the temporary truce between Hamas and Israel. The original agreement between the two parties was to hold a four-day truce, with the extension of it being extended for several days.

Hamas has said it is willing to extend the truce, and US President Joe Biden has also supported the extension. Qatar has said Hamas must locate 40 captives not held by the group in Gaza if it wants to be able to extend the halt in fighting.

Here's a recap of the past several hours:

• A senior leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group told Al Jazeera that the proposal to extend the humanitarian truce is still under “evaluation” by PIJ.

• US Secretary of State Antony Blinken thanked Egypt for its role in helping reach a deal for the release of captives held by Hamas in Gaza.

• Ahead of a 10 October address, US President Joe Biden rejected advice from his staffers to omit a line referencing an unverified claim that Hamas beheaded babies.

• Thailand's prime minister said the three Thai captives released by Hamas are in good health conditions.

•  The US Navy said that its aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower crossed the Strait of Hormuz and reached the waters of the Gulf.

• The US also said two ballistic missiles coming from Houthi-held Yemen landed just 10 miles away from an American vessel.
