The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 25,000 people

Israel's military reported more fighting around the southern city of Khan Younis, where it claims to have uncovered a tunnel used by Hamas to hold hostages. Soldiers found booby traps, explosives and other obstacles, Israel said.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again rejected calls for Palestinian sovereignty, saying Israel must retain security control "over all the territory west of Jordan — and this is contrary to a Palestinian state."

The comments come after talks with US President Joe Biden, who has indicated he still believes Netanyahu can be convinced of a two-state solution to the conflict. The two remain at odds over plans for post-war Gaza.

Here's how to help humanitarian efforts in Israel and Gaza.

Communication networks have been restored across Gaza following the longest near-total blackout in the coastal enclave since the start of the war.

The outage, which lasted over a week, was the ninth communications blackout in Gaza since Israel’s war against Hamas began on October 7, according to internet monitoring site Netblocks.
