More than 120 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, Hamas says. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make a new visit to the Middle East to try to advance negotiations for a truce.
The Israeli army continued its bombings on Khan Younes, the large southern city where, according to Israel, leaders of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas are hiding. According to an AFP journalist, airstrikes also targeted Rafah, a few kilometers further south, where according to the UN there are more than 1.3 million people.
