Israel's military intelligence chief has resigned after taking responsibility for failures leading to the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, the military said on April 22, as Israel carried out more shelling in war-battered Gaza overnight.

Israel and Iran traded threats after Tehran's first-ever direct attack on its arch-foe sharply heightened tensions in a region already on edge after six months of war in Gaza.

The United States military has undertaken a significant interception operation, intercepting and destroying over 80 attack drones and at least six ballistic missiles aimed at Israel from Iran and Yemen, as confirmed by the Pentagon on Monday.

In Israel has successfully foiled an unprecedented direct attack by Iran, marking a significant escalation in tensions in the region. Sirens blared across Israel as explosions reverberated in key cities during the initial wave of Iran's drone strike, targeting locations including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Dimona.

Iran launched a significant attack on Israel, firing numerous drones and missiles, which both Tel Aviv and Tehran confirmed. The attack was purportedly in retaliation for Israel's assault on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, resulting in casualties.

In response to escalating tensions and growing concerns over a potential Iranian attack, the United States has taken decisive action by deploying two warships to the Middle East, a move aimed at safeguarding both Israel and American interests in the region.

The Israeli military conducted a large-scale operation at the Al-Shifa hospital complex in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Palestinian fighters and the arrest of over 200 individuals, according to reports from AFP. The operation forced hundreds of civilians to flee the area.

Amid escalating international pressure, Israel has shifted its approach, aiming to inundate Gaza with humanitarian aid from multiple entry points. This change in strategy comes as a response to mounting calls for increased aid delivery to the region, with the United Nations urging for a significant uptick in supplies and the European Union condemning the use of hunger as a weapon.

Israel sent troops into a hospital in war-torn Gaza on Thursday where it said hostages may have been held, as medics warned the key medical facility was operating in "near impossible" conditions.

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.
