The White House has issued a statement affirming President Joe Biden's commitment to maintaining cooperation with Israel until the complete eradication of the radical Palestinian group Hamas from the Gaza Strip, as reported by Reuters.

Israeli forces have stormed Gaza's largest operational hospital, "Nasser," as confirmed by the Israeli Defense Forces. Video footage depicts scenes of chaos, with gunfire echoing through dark, dust-filled corridors.

Day 617 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

China's defense minister has been removed from office after weeks of speculation that he would face the same fate as former foreign minister Qin Gang.

Li Shangfu has been sent to resign, the official Xinhua news agency reported, without giving reasons for this decision, the South China Morning Post wrote.

We are not alone -- and American authorities are covering up the evidence, a former US intelligence officer told a congressional committee on Wednesday.

The National Anti-Terrorism Committee claims that the attack was carried out by Ukrainian drones.
"At 3:05 a.m., two Ukrainian drones attacked the Crimean bridge as a result of a terrorist act, part of the pavement on the bridge was damaged. Two adults were killed and one child was injured," the Committee said in a statement.

The Washington Post reports, citing a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity, that US intelligence agencies discovered in mid-June that Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was planning some sort of armed attack, but that information was not discussed in meetings with Ukrainian officials, President Volodymyr Zelensky and others.

As he said, he still appreciates Washington's support for Kyiv.
Zelensky told The Washington Post that the White House had not contacted him about the leak of top-secret US intelligence documents last month.

Russia's drive to sabotage Ukrainian forces' Internet access by targeting Starlink satellite communications provided by billionaire Elon Musk to Kyiv appears to be more advanced than previously known, a classified US intelligence report leaked alongside the affair "Pentagon leaks," writes The Washington Post, which obtained the report.

They referred to secret Pentagon documents that were leaked online.
"One document reveals that the U.S. spied on Zelensky," the channel said.
As it is added, a source close to the Ukrainian president is not surprised by this situation and called it "expected". It is also noted that Ukrainian officials are deeply disappointed by the leaked documents.
