Amidst stalled ceasefire and hostage talks, the US National Security Advisor and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the ongoing conflict with a focus on Rafa, humanitarian aid, Israeli hostages, and renewed fighting in northern Gaza. The Israeli military released new video footage showing IDF troops in eastern Rafa, where targeted raids have reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 80 Hamas members.
Reports from Palestinians in Gaza indicate a severe lack of safe spaces, with the ongoing violence forcing hundreds of thousands to flee in search of safety. The bombing campaign in the Jabali refugee camp in northern Gaza has persisted, leading to a dire situation at the last functioning hospital in the area, which is struggling to cope with the influx of casualties due to limited supplies.
