GAZA CITY: The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza says the facility is experiencing an “extreme catastrophe” with Israeli forces firing on the building as children and elderly patients suffering from malnutrition seek treatment there.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking from Gaza, says Hamas will no longer govern the enclave and announces a $5m reward and safe passage for anybody who helps return Israeli captives held in the territory.
Israeli forces kill three Lebanese soldiers, while the UN’s peacekeeping mission in the country (UNIFIL) said four Ghanaian peacekeepers were wounded by a rocket, most likely fired by “non-state actors within Lebanon”.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,972 Palestinians and wounded 104,008 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,544 people have been killed and 15,036 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
The Lebanese armed group said it launched a salvo of rockets at Israeli troops at al-Marj in northern Israel.
The attack took place shortly after midnight local time (22:00 GMT on Tuesday).
Earlier, Hezbollah claimed a total of 34 attacks on Israeli positions on Tuesday, including drone attacks on the Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel and missile attacks on ground troops in southern Lebanon.
Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout has managed to gain access to the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital.
He says Israeli forces have destroyed the last remaining ambulances in north Gaza, making it that much more difficult for Palestinians wounded in the relentless Israeli bombardment to seek medical help.
Shabat, the Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent who was wounded in an Israeli attack moments ago, took to X to recount what happened.
“Tonight, I was deliberately targeted by Israeli forces,” he wrote.
“After receiving word of a nearby bombing, I jumped into my car to report. Upon arriving at the house packed with terrified people, I could hear their desperate screams for help from the second floor. The moment I stepped inside, the house was bombed again, and dismembered body parts of the wounded flew around me,” he wrote.
“Rubble crashed down on me and my colleagues; one first responder was killed, and while my colleague and I were injured, many others did not survive.”
Senator John Thune, the incoming Republican leader of the Senate, has said that Republicans “will make clear that the United States Congress stands squarely in Israel’s corner” when they reclaim the Senate majority in six weeks.
“To our allies in Israel and to the Jewish people around the world, my message to you is this: reinforcements are on the way,” Thune said in a video shared on X.
“We will help the Trump-Vance administration, defend Israel and promote peace in the region.”
Thune also criticized Senator Bernie Sanders’s push to block US arms sales to Israel and renewed calls for sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) for its investigations into Israeli official’s alleged war crimes.
“The ICC’s rogue actions are a threat to our ally, Israel, and left unchecked, it could pose a threat to America in the future,” he said.
