Here are the main events of the Israel-Gaza war on day 325 in the last 24 hours:
Gaza’s Civil Defence says Israeli tank fire prevented its crews from reaching people buried after a home was destroyed in Khan Younis, as Israeli bombardments continue across Gaza and attacks in south and central areas intensify.
At least 9 Palestinians have been reported killed in the occupied West Bank as the Israeli military launches a large-scale military operation involving hundreds of troops and air attacks in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarem.
At least 20 people have been killed in the most recent Israeli strikes mainly targeting Deir el-Balah in central Gaza and Khan Younis in the south, our correspondent in the Gaza Strip reports.
“The timing could hardly be worse” says a UN official as staff are forced to abandon Gaza headquarters and halt operations ahead of a polio vaccination campaign.
At least 40,476 people have been killed and 93,647 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7.
