Death toll from Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza rises to at least 68, hospital tells CNN
Buildings and roads are destroyed after an Israeli attack in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on February 17
The death toll from airstrikes that hit central Gaza on Saturday has risen to at least 68, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told CNN Sunday. A doctor from the hospital had previously told CNN Saturday that 44 Palestinians were killed and dozens more were injured in the strikes that hit multiple neighborhoods in Deir al-Balah.
Video obtained by CNN from Al-Aqsa shows injured children among those being rushed in for treatment, as well as dead bodies, including a deceased baby, wrapped in cloth on the hospital floor. Israel said Saturday it successfully struck Hamas targets in the Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah neighborhoods.
On Saturday, the UN said Palestinians living in the southern city of Rafah were reportedly fleeing towards Deir al-Balah ahead of an anticipated Israeli ground invasion.

Gaza's largest remaining functioning medical facility is out of service after Israeli raid, WHO says
The Nasser Hospital in Gaza is no longer functioning after a raid by Israeli special forces, the World Health Organization said. WHO teams were not permitted to enter the hospital in southern Gaza on Friday or Saturday "to assess the conditions of the patients and critical medical needs," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in the statement posted on X, adding scores of patients remain inside.
"There are still about 200 patients in the hospital. At least 20 need to be urgently referred to other hospitals to receive health care; medical referral is every patient’s right," he continued. "The cost of delays will be paid by patients’ lives," Tedros added, before urging that access to the patients and hospital should be facilitated for WHO staff.
Nasser Hospital was previously the largest remaining functioning medical facility in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military claims they have credible evidence that Hamas had previously held hostages at the hospital, and that the bodies of deceased hostages may be at the hospital. However, it has not publicly released that evidence. CNN has reached out to the Israeli military regarding Tedros' claims.
Nasser Hospital has experienced critical shortages of fuel, oxygen and medical supplies. Before the Israeli military's raid on it on Thursday, hundreds of civilians were forced by Israeli forces to leave the hospital, which they had been using as a shelter.
About 70 health care workers arrested in Israeli raid on Nasser Hospital, Gaza's health ministry says
Israeli forces have put Nasser Medical Complex "completely out of service" and rendered it unable to handle critical cases, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health said Sunday. The comments back up a similar claim from the World Health Organization, which said its teams were not permitted to enter on Friday or Saturday.
Ministry spokesperson Dr. Ashraf Al-Qidra claimed around 70 health care workers were arrested by Israeli forces and 80 patients have been transferred out of the hospital to an unknown location.
Only 25 medical staff remain in the medical complex, and they are unable to handle cases requiring critical care, Al-Qidra said. For three days, electricity has been cut off to the complex, halting the supply of oxygen and water, Al-Qidra said. So far, seven people have died as a result, he said.
Israeli government formally rejects "international dictates" regarding a permanent settlement with Palestinians
The Israeli government on Sunday unanimously backed a decision to reject "international dictates" regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the beginning of a cabinet meeting that he would ask for a formal vote "in light of remarks that have been heard recently in the international community about an attempt to unilaterally force a Palestinian state on Israel."
"Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians," his office said in a statement, adding that any settlement would be reached "solely through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions."
Tension builds: Netanyahu told CNN earlier this month that he is "certainly willing" to let the Palestinians “have all the powers that they need to govern themselves, but none of the powers that can threaten us." The issue of a Palestinian state has caused a rift between Israel and its closest ally, the United States, as US President Joe Biden continues to press for a two-state solution. The UK has also said it would consider recognizing a Palestinian state, with the United Nations calling the opposition to one "unacceptable."
The West Bank situation is a "real obstacle" to a two-state solution, top EU diplomat says
The European Union's top diplomat says the situation in the Israeli-occupied West Bank is a "real obstacle" for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, adding that peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a clear prospect for the Palestinian people.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Josep Borrell said the level of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has increased since the Hamas attacks on October 7 and has not been discussed enough. "Everybody talks about ending the war in Gaza. Yes, we have to end the war in Gaza. But nobody has talked a lot about the West Bank," he said, stressing that "the West Bank is boiling."
Borrell added that he believes there is space for Europe to support a two-state solution, but for that, he said, Europe needs to be more united and must have the US "more than on board."
Key context: Under the Oslo Accords peace agreement of the 1990s, the plan was for Israel to gradually hand over control over more and more of the West Bank, but that has never happened. Israel has full administrative and security control over 60% of the area.
More than 700,000 Jewish settlers now live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, land on which the Palestinians, along with the international community, want to establish a future Palestinian state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law and are widely seen as one of the main obstacles to a two-state solution. While the areas where settlements encroach on Palestinian land have always been prone to violence, settler attacks on Palestinians have spiraled out of control in recent months.
It's now 30 years since the Oslo Accords (1993). For 30 years the UN and international community have failed to enforce the accords and Israel has only taken more land. Only 18% of the West Bank is under control of the PA, which in itself is a tool of Israel. The other 22% are shared control with Israel.
Netanyahu derailed the process in 1996 in his first term, there won't be any progress as long as he's back in power.
US strikes Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen: Military
The United States conducted five “self-defense” strikes in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthis, the US Central Command has said. It said it struck three mobile antiship cruise missiles, one unmanned underwater vessel and one unmanned surface vessel on Saturday.
“This is the first observed Houthi employment of a UUV since attacks began in Oct. 23,” the US military said in a post on X. Central Command said it had determined the missiles and vessels presented an imminent threat to US Navy ships and merchant vessels in the area.
The announcement came amid heightened tensions in the region, with Houthi fighters carrying out attacks on vessels linked to the US, UK and Israel in the Red Sea in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. London and Washington have responded by hitting Houthi targets in Yemen multiple times.

Hezbollah claims several cross-border attacks on Israel
The Lebanese armed group says it launched seven separate military operations in southern Israel. Hezbollah said the attacks included targeting a building where Israeli troops had gathered in Yir’on on the eastern side of the border. It also claimed two attacks against Israeli positions in the disputed Shebaa Farms, which Lebanon claims as its own.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire for months. Israeli officials have promised to push Hezbollah off the country’s northern borders, while the Iran-allied group says its attacks on Israel will stop when the war on Gaza ends.
Netanyahu slams Lula’s ‘disgraceful and grave’ remarks on Gaza
Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu has accused Brazilian President Lula of trivialising the Holocaust and causing offence to the Jewish people by likening Israel’s war on Gaza to the Nazi genocide during World War II.
“What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments. In fact, it did exist when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” Lula told reporters during the 37th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.
“This is about trivialising the Holocaust and trying to harm the Jewish people and Israel’s right to defend itself. Comparing Israel to the Nazi Holocaust and Hitler is crossing a red line,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
Israel to summon Brazil’s envoy over Lula’s remarks
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz says he will summon Brazil’s ambassador for a reprimand over remarks made by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has been harshly critical of the conduct of Israel’s war on Gaza.
“No would will compromise Israel’s right to defend itself,” Katz said on X, adding that the envoy would be summoned on Monday.
Weaponizing Anti-semitism and the Holocaust to justify genocide out of 'self-defense' is crossing all red lines.
The Zionists indeed learnt well from the Nazis. So well that it seems that their morally repugnant treatment of the Palestinians, and their attempts to destroy Palestinian society within Israel and the occupied territories, reveals them as basically Nazis with beards and black hats. - Norman Finkelstein
My parents often wondered why I would grow so indignant at the falsification and exploitation of the Nazi genocide. The most obvious answer is that it has been used to justify criminal policies of the Israeli state and U.S. support for these policies. - Norman Finkelstein
Palestinian Foreign Ministry denounces Israeli attack on Tulkarem camp
The ministry has condemned what it called escalating incursions by the Israeli army into several areas in the occupied West Bank, which often result in more deaths and injuries, “and infrastructure destruction, as is currently happening in the Tulkarem refugee camp”.
“Carte blanche has been given to Israeli soldiers from the political echelon, enabling them to shoot Palestinians on a whim and without any threat posed,” the ministry said.
We reported earlier that two men were shot dead by Israeli forces in the Tulkarem refugee camp, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The men were identified as 19-year-old Atta Muhammad Amer and 36-year-old Muhammad Ahmad Fayez Al-Awfi. The camp is located in the north of the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces open fire on Palestinians approaching aid trucks in Gaza City
Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City rushing towards aid trucks on al-Rasheed Street before fleeing after Israeli forces open fire. Ramy Abdu, the Head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, commented on the incident in a post on X saying, “What our team documented on Al-Rasheed Street, west of Gaza City, is terrifying, painful, and brutal”.
“Very small quantities of food arrived today, and it is impossible for them to reach the camps in northern Gaza”, he wrote. Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted aid seekers in Gaza. Last month, an Israeli attack on people lining up to receive much-needed humanitarian supplies in northern Gaza killed at least 20 people.

Israel plans to ‘pause fighting’ for 4 hours a day in one part of Gaza at a time
From Sunday to Friday, there will be a four-hour pause in fighting a day, from 10am to 2pm local time. These will be taking place in different parts of Gaza on each day. One part of Gaza on each day will get that lull in the fighting. Most of them are going to be in the Rafah area up until Thursday, and then Friday’s pause in fighting will be in a part of Deir el-Balah area.
The ostensible reason for this is so the people in those areas can get resupplied with food and other essentials. But they would have to be able to get those things. That is the huge dilemma for many Palestinians in Gaza. Where does that food come from? Is there enough of it?
The number of aid trucks going into Gaza at the moment is way down.
Nothing positive about Israel’s planned pauses in fighting
Israel’s pauses in fighting are supposed to allow people to resupply. But we are looking at rubble-filled roads, we’ve seen children looking for scraps of food, and markets are empty in Rafah. If food is available, it is at a very high price. Not everyone has the means to buy food. With no pay for five months, their financial capabilities are drained.
On top of that, the number of aid trucks that have been allowed into the Gaza Strip so far is not enough. Even if there were 300 trucks a day, it would still not meet the needs of an entire population that has been displaced, traumatised and without any essentials. In the northern part of Gaza, there is an actual famine. People have resorted to eating plants and animal feed.
The whole aid mechanism is broken, from the clearance of the checkpoints and the crossings to the fact that the international aid organisations cannot guarantee the safety of their crews on the ground. This means aid does not get to the designated locations.
‘We don’t have a place to go’: Deir el-Balah continues to bleed
At least two people have been killed and six others wounded after Israeli forces hit the al-Twashi family’s house in downtown Deir el-Balah with rockets. Nassr al-Twashi, 18, was among the wounded in the predawn attack on Sunday. Three families were sheltering in the house at the time of the attack.
Al-Twashi said, “We were asleep. My mom started crying. Debris hit us. I was hit by a shrapnel during the night, which pierced my left thigh. “Neighbours were severely injured. Eight houses were directly affected because it’s a very dense neighbourhood.
“It’s normal to me to see such atrocities. I am used to it. But it’s also been raining. Now, we don’t have a place to go and cover from pain. That’s painful.”

‘It was like a Judgement Day’: Doctor recalls surviving Israeli raid of Nasser Hospital
Dr Ahmed al-Moghrabi, head of the plastic surgery and burns department at Nasser Hospital, tells Al Jazeera that he considers himself lucky that he escaped from a “death checkpoint” when Israeli soldiers raided the hospital on Thursday. According to al-Moghrabi, Israeli soldiers arrived in the facility at about 1:30am and ordered everyone to evacuate immediately. Half an hour later, they bombed the hospital’s third floor, where al-Moghrabi was staying with his family, colleagues and patients.
“It was like a Judgement Day,” al-Moghrabi said, adding that he managed to take his family away from the hospital along with some of his medical staff, while the rest of the staff was arrested, including a nurse whom he was separated from by Israeli soldiers at the gate of the hospital. “I ask the leaders of this world, how many videos do you have to see of us getting killed? Seeing this real genocide happening in front of your eyes and nothing – just silence?
WHO says about 200 patients remain inside the hospital.
Staff at Nasser Hospital in ‘deep danger’: Canadian doctor
Emergency room physician Tarek Loubani, who has previously worked in Gaza hospitals, says medical services in Gaza have been already at “catastrophic levels”, even before Nasser Hospital went out of commission, as confirmed by the WHO.
“This particular statement [from WHO] says two things. One that the patients, the doctors, the staff, and the refugees inside … are in deep danger of being arrested, tortured and killed. Second, there is one less hospital, one valuable hospital that used to be able to serve patients, that is no longer able to serve patients,” Loubani, associate professor at the University of Western Ontario, told Al Jazeera.
“It’s another lifeline for the people in Gaza they can no longer go to for treatment.” Calling the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza a “genocide”, Loubani lamented the Canadian government’s backing of Israel since the war began. “This is not Israel operating alone. This is Israel operating with the full consent of all of us in a way,” he added. “My Canadian government is abhorrent in its support for Israel. They may say nice words on occasion, but they are complicit.”

“The recent attack of Israel on Gaza plunged thousands of Palestinians into immense suffering and loss. Women and children have been blown to pieces in the war. Parents were unable to recognise their children killed in bombings which were exploding everywhere,” it added.

Hospital reports more Palestinians killed, including children, in strikes on central Gaza city
People search for victims in the rubble of the Baraka family home in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, after an Israeli airstrike on February 18.
At least 18 people have died following an Israeli airstrike on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which received the victims. Dozens of others were injured, the spokesperson and another doctor at the hospital said. Most of those killed and wounded were children, the two health officials added. They fear the death toll could rise, as many are still missing, believed to be under the rubble.
A video obtained by CNN shows several people in the neighborhood digging under rubble with their bare hands, looking for survivors. Another video from Al-Aqsa hospital shows the bodies of small children shrouded in blankets as they were carried into the facility on stretchers with other victims.
According to witnesses, the strike directly hit a family home and damaged surrounding buildings. Neighbors and other witnesses told CNN the family had been sheltering about 40 displaced relatives who fled Rafah in the south over the past 48 hours.
"They came to Deir al-Balah from Rafah looking for safety. We don't see safety in a mosque, or in a (UN relief agency) school, or in a hospital — the word 'safety' is not something that exists anymore. They evacuated us from place to another place claiming it's safe. There is nowhere safe," Ibrahim, a neighbor, told CNN on Sunday.
CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment on the alleged airstrike Sunday. On Saturday, the military said it was targeting a series of Hamas "operational command and control centers" in central Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Saturday there is "a lot of space" north of Rafah for people to flee if Israel proceeds with anticipated military operations against Hamas there. Roughly 1.5 million Palestinians are seeking shelter in the southern Gaza city near the border with Egypt — many already displaced from elsewhere in the enclave.
Some have fled to Deir al-Balah amid news of the coming offensive, United Nations officials said last week. But Sunday's reported strikes followed a series of strikes in the city on Saturday that killed at least 68 people, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Israeli forces shooting Palestinians in Gaza waiting for aid
Today there were more distressing images of people in north waiting for humanitarian trucks to be allowed in, while coming under fire from Israeli forces, forcing them to run and take cover from Israeli snipers.
And this has absolutely been repeated within the past few days as these people are in a clear, desperate need for food. The absence of humanitarian trucks … has forced people to find alternatives to food – including animal feed, while suffering from widespread diseases.
On the ground, Israel is intensifying its bombardment of Gaza, and imposing more restrictions on aid delivery to the most affected parts of the Gaza Strip.

Fighting needs to stop, so aid can be delivered: UNRWA chief
The agency’s chief Philippe Lazzarini says the “enormous” scale of humanitarian assistance needed in Gaza cannot be provided “without a sustained stop to the fighting and bombardment”.
“It is not too late to change this story if urgent actions are taken to achieve a cease-fire and the release of the hostages, and to allow a sufficient flow of aid into Gaza,” he wrote in the US news outlet USA Today. “The speed of the deterioration in Gaza is unprecedented in recent history,” he added.

Tulkarem official gives update on deadly Israeli raid
Faisal Salama, who runs the committee that provides services to the camp in the occupied West Bank, says Israeli forces killed two young men in “cold blood” as part of a broader plan to pressure Palestinian communities through violence, destruction and intimidation.
“A special Israeli unit snuck into the camp and clashes erupted. That was followed by the arrival of Israeli military reinforcements and large bulldozers to the camp in broad day light. They also besieged citizens in the markets and students in their schools during the operation,” Salama told Al Jazeera.
He added that infrastructure in Tulkarem and the neighbouring Nur Shams camp is being destroyed by repeated Israeli raids that have intensified since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.

‘Extremist settlers’ targeting Palestinians in Hebron: Advocate
Issa Amro, co-founder of the advocacy group Youth Against Settlements, says Israeli settlers in Hebron in the occupied West Bank are working to build a new illegal settlement inside the city. “They are taking advantage of the war to make the lives for Palestinian citizens more difficult – blocking checkpoints, imposing curfews, stopping services and banning all forms of social life in areas close to the settlements,” Amro told Al Jazeera.
“The big problem for Hebron now is that the extremist settlers have been recruited to the Israeli army units operating in the city. They now control the lives of Palestinian residents.” He added that settlers have been assaulting Palestinians, vandalising their property, restricting their freedom of movement and threatening them.
