Israel’s war on Gaza live: Al-Aqsa Hospital, school bombed
● Israeli forces have bombed tents housing displaced Palestinians in the yard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, killing at least three and wounding 18 others. The attack came hours after a strike on a Gaza City school-turned-shelter killed 17 people.
● France joins the United States and the United Kingdom in urging its citizens to leave Lebanon. More than a dozen countries have issued travel advisories amid the threat of war.
● Hamas says it has initiated a broad consultation process to select a new leader following the assassination of its political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says Haniyeh was killed by a “short-range projectile” and again threatened Israel with a “severe” response.
● At least 39,550 people have been killed and 91,280 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 were taken captive.
