The World Health Organization has reported that one of the last remaining hospitals serving people in the Gaza Strip is no longer functional following an Israeli military operation. The Israeli military claims that Hamas was operating within the hospital, leading to its closure.
Israel has announced its intention to expand military operations in Rafa if Hamas does not release remaining hostages by the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. This move is seen as an attempt to pressure Hamas into agreeing to the Israeli government's terms for a ceasefire.
