This includes 77 people killed in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip and at least 20 people killed in Gaza City in the north of the Gaza Strip.


Israel claims Hamas commanders, political officials targeted in wave of air strikes: Report

Israel’s broadcasting authority has said the wave of attacks targeted senior figures in the Palestinian armed movement.

The Israeli military has accused Hamas of rearming its forces and preparing to carry out attacks, according to a report by the Kan broadcaster.

Hamas says Netanyahu and ‘extremist government’ moving to ‘overturn’ ceasefire

Hamas said it holds Israel’s Netanyahu and the “Nazi-Zionist occupation” responsible for the “treacherous” attacks on Gaza’s besieged and defenceless civilians that are reported to have killed more than 100 people.

“Netanyahu and his extremist government are making a decision to overturn the ceasefire agreement, exposing prisoners in Gaza to an unknown fate,” Hamas said in a statement posted on social media.

Hamas called on ceasefire mediators to hold Israel responsible, for the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to support Palestinians in “breaking the unjust siege imposed on the Gaza Strip”, and for the UN Security Council to hold an urgent meeting and adopt a resolution obligating Israel to “halt its aggression”.

Gaza authorities say death toll passes 200

The Gaza Government Media Office reports that more than 200 people have been killed in the Israeli bombing of multiple areas across the Strip in the early hours of the morning.
