At least 100 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to figures from the Palestinian Authority in the enclave. The military action comes amid growing international pressure on Israel for a ceasefire and calls inside the country to resume talks to free the hostages kidnapped by the radical Palestinian movement Hamas on October 7.

Israel has faced mounting international pressure Monday over the rising civilian death toll and destruction of hospitals in Gaza as it pressed on with its strikes in the besieged Palestinian territory.

The United Nations Security Council was set to vote Monday on a new resolution calling for an "urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities" in Gaza.

The head of the World Health Organization on Sunday denounced "the effective destruction" of the Kamal Adwan hospital in the north of Gaza, adding that at least eight patients had died.

Among the deceased patients was a 9-year-old child, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

An Israeli attack killed an Al Jazeera journalist and wounded his colleague in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Qatari network reported.

Al Jazeera had initially reported that cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa and Gaza bureau chief Wael Al-Dahdouh were wounded in a school in Khan Yunis, where they were hit by "shrapnel from an Israeli missile attack".

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has condemned what it called the "provocation" in a mosque in the occupied West Bank by Israeli troops who were seen reciting a Jewish prayer.

Video footage showed soldiers inside a mosque in Jenin refugee camp using loudspeakers to recite the Shema Yisrael, a central prayer in Judaism.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will be in Israel today and tomorrow.

The UN has again emphasized that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic. According to the Palestinian side, 18,600 people died in the Israeli operation against Hamas.

The Israeli army has begun filling Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials.

The Wall Street Journal says the process is likely to last for weeks.

The Israeli army did not comment on the information, Reuters reported.

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said yesterday at the end of an overnight visit to the Gaza Strip that civilians there were enduring "hell on earth" as Israel's war against Hamas grinds on.

More than 100 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ground offensive began in the Gaza Strip. This was announced by the Israeli army.

An army spokesman told AFP the death toll had reached 101.

The Palestinian terror group Hamas has warned that no hostages will leave the territory "alive" if the group's demands are not met.

The Israeli army's offensive in the southern Gaza Strip continues, while the Hamas-run health ministry claims more than 17,700 Palestinians have died. A number of countries, including North Korea, criticized the United States' veto of the UN Security Council resolution on the ceasefire.
