Hamas said it was engaged in "heavy fighting" with Israeli troops on Sunday inside northern Gaza, where besieged residents were again told to flee.
The Israel Defense Forces claimed to have struck more than "450 terror targets, including operational command centers, observation posts, and anti-tank missile launch posts". It is now more than three weeks since Hamas gunmen launched a wave of bloody cross-border raids against homes, communities, farms and security posts inside Israel.
The territory is under siege, with people unable to leave and only a trickle of humanitarian aid allowed in.Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 8,000 people, mainly civilians, have been killed -- half of them children.Inside Gaza's maze of streets, rubble and hulled-out buildings, there is a growing sense of panic, fear and desperation.
The UN also reported that 33 trucks carrying water, food, and medical supplies had entered Gaza from Egypt on October 29. The "burden" lies with Israel to distinguish between militants and innocent civilians in Gaza, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN. "We reiterate -- it's impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X.
