The Israeli army stormed the West Bank city of Jenin.

Five Palestinians were injured, Al Jazeera TV reported.

According to the media, the Israeli military launched a large-scale operation in the area with more than 50 units of combat equipment.

Israeli forces have surrounded local hospitals and are searching residential areas, the TV station said.

Eleven hostages released today by Hamas are already in Israel, the Israeli army said late last night, as quoted by Reuters and BTA.

The freed hostages will be given medical examinations, after which they will be able to be reunited with their families.

Blinken said this in a telephone conversation with Benny Gantz, the Israeli opposition leader who joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet in San Francisco, where he attended the Asia-Pacific Summit.

The Israeli military says it is entering the next phase of its ground offensive in Gaza and that it is close to destroying the Hamas military system in the northern Gaza Strip.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse - hospitals are closing due to the lack of working conditions, and the lack of fuel is hampering the operation of telecommunications.

The IDF says that members of the elite Shaldag unit and other forces of the 36th division found weapons at Al Shifa's MRI center, The Times of Israel reported.
Israeli forces fought Hamas members in front of the hospital and killed five of them.

The IDF believes the tunnels are also under Al Shaifa Hospital.
The goal of the Israeli soldiers is to enter the 500 km long network of tunnels located under Al-Shifa Hospital and Gaza City and destroy the terrorists who attacked Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis. But, that task is not at all easy, writes the Daily Mail.

Israel will help evacuate babies from the main hospital in the Gaza Strip and provide a corridor for anyone who wants to leave. Tel Aviv reiterated that it was not attacking the health facility, but acknowledged that there was fighting in its area with fighters from the radical group Hamas.

Israel's military has retaliated against a drone attack originating from Syria that struck a school in the southern city of Eilat. According to reports, the Israeli army responded promptly, targeting the group responsible for the drone launch.

Crowds of Palestinian families stretching as far as the eye could see walked out of Gaza City and surrounding areas toward the south Thursday to escape Israeli airstrikes and ground troops battling Hamas militants in dense urban neighborhoods. Others joined tens of thousands taking shelter at the city's biggest hospital, not far from the fighting.

In a significant diplomatic development, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for the establishment of a unified Palestinian-led government in Gaza and the West Bank following the cessation of hostilities, marking a crucial step towards Palestinian statehood.
