Israel and Hamas reported fighting in Gaza overnight, making it one of the deadliest days for the besieged enclave. Israel targeted residential areas in Gaza, including the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp and areas near Gaza’s Al-Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals. Health officials reported hundreds killed in these attacks.
In addition to the Gaza conflict, Israel increased its operations in the occupied West Bank overnight, resulting in two Palestinians being killed during a raid in Nablus.
China has called for a ceasefire in Gaza and expressed its willingness to take any necessary actions to stop the violence.
Since October 7, Israeli attacks in Gaza have led to the deaths of at least 5,087 Palestinians, while over 1,400 people have been killed in Israel.
