What’s Happening in Israel and Gaza Today
Israel said its military continued to widen its operations and reported the deaths of two soldiers, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the escalation.
Israeli operations: The Israeli military said it hit around 300 targets in Gaza, targeting "the center of gravity of Hamas." It said two soldiers were killed in fighting in northern Gaza.
Gaza blasts: Airstrikes rocked an area near Gaza City, flattening apartment buildings and causing hundreds of casualties, according to hospital officials. The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas infrastructure and militants, and killed a commander who helped lead the Oct. 7 attacks.
Hostages: Israel said it rescued Pvt. Ori Megidish, a soldier taken captive on Oct. 7. A Hamas video showed three hostages held in Gaza. Israel increased the number of hostages it said were held in the enclave to 240.
Humanitarian aid: Egypt said it could receive large numbers of wounded Palestinians from Gaza. Pressed to take in Palestinian refugees, Egypt's prime minister said his country remained committed to defending its territory.
U.S.: The FBI is worried that the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel will serve as a rallying cry for terrorist attacks in the West. Jack Lew was confirmed as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Casualties: The Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry said more than 8,000 people had been killed. The U.S. and Israel have acknowledged thousands of Palestinian deaths but expressed doubts about the accuracy of the numbers provided by Hamas. Some U.N. experts have said the true toll could be higher. More than 1,400 in Israel died in the attacks that sparked the war, including over 300 IDF soldiers.
