Israeli troops battled Hamas militants in Gaza, with no sign of a let-up in the war despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an"immediate ceasefire".It demands an"immediate ceasefire" for the ongoing Muslim holy month of Ramadan, leading to a"lasting" truce.
The war began with Hamas's 7 October attacks, which resulted in about 1,160 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza put the Palestinian death toll at 32,333, most of them women and children. In a statement, the militant group accused Israel of thwarting the latest round of talks hosted by mediator Qatar.
Mr Netanyahu's determination to launch a ground operation in Rafah, the city on Gaza's southern border where most of the territory's population is sheltering, has become a key point of contention between Israel and the United States.
