Hamas fighters are ambushing Israel troops attempting to encircle Gaza City as devastating air strikes continue.

Israel’s heavy bombardment of Gaza has intensified, particularly in the north where many civilians remain trapped and unable to flee.

Israeli attacks on three refugee camps in the last 24 hours have killed more than 50 people.

At least 9,770 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. More than 1,400 people killed in Israel.
