The Israeli military launched attacks in northern and southern Gaza on Tuesday, despite a UN Security Council calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said "troops are operating in the area of Al Amal in Khan Yunis; the IDF and ISA are continuing to conduct precise operational activity in the Shifa Hospital."
Israel's Air Force claimed targets on 60 sites across the Gaza Strip over the past day. CNN cannot independently verify the IDF's statements.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz insisted that Israel "will not cease fire" after the UN Security Council on Monday passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the remaining weeks of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and "the urgent need to expand the flow" of aid into Gaza.
Katz added that Israel "will destroy Hamas and continue to fight until the last of the hostages returns home," in a statement on X.
Human rights warnings: Israel's military campaign in Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks has destroyed neighborhoods, wiped out families, and exposed the population of more than 2.2 million people to the risk of famine.
Earlier this month, Oxfam and Human Rights Watch warned that Israeli authorities have carried out "indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks" in Gaza, "imposed collective punishment on the civilian population" and "used starvation of civilians as a weapon of war."
