Fighting continues in Gaza, with Israeli forces conducting operations near Khan Younis and Palestinian medics reporting casualties.
Meanwhile, efforts to broker a ceasefire and prevent a wider regional conflict are ongoing, with Egyptian and Qatari-mediated talks scheduled for Thursday.
Hamas has expressed skepticism about the talks, saying they have seen no sign of movement from the Israeli side.
The group has accepted a ceasefire proposal based on US President Joe Biden’s ideas, but wants mediators to press Israel to accept it.
Tensions remain high, with preparations for a larger-scale confrontation underway, including the deployment of a US missile submarine and strike group to the region.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has warned of potential Iranian military action against Israel.
