More than 11,300 Palestinians are believed to have died in Israeli bombings since October 7. The IDF, for its part, announces that it controls a large part of Gaza.
New disastrous record in the Gaza Strip: more than 11,300 Palestinians have died in Israeli bombings since October 7 according to Hamas.
This Tuesday, Palestinian authorities called for a ceasefire to evacuate more than 30 newborns and other patients from Gaza’s largest hospital, which has become a “mass grave” according to its director. Power cuts forced staff to bury more than 120 bodies from the morgue in the hospital courtyard.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Hamas and Islamic Jihad were operating “a command and control center from Al-Chifa hospital” in Gaza. He assured during an interview with journalists that the United States had been able to confirm this with its own intelligence sources, and added that the hospital site was used to store weapons.
Israeli troops already control a large part of Gaza City and the north of the Palestinian enclave. The army also announced on Tuesday that it had taken control of parliament and other government institutions run by Hamas.
The Islamist movement also continues its rocket attacks on the Jewish state. The latest shots injured two people in the Jaffa district of Tel Aviv.
At the same time, the families of hostages held by Hamas organized a march in major Israeli cities. Participants demand that the government “approve an agreement by this evening” For “bring their loved ones home”. They also ask not to block any negotiations.
