A deluge of Israeli airstrikes Tuesday on a refugee camp near Gaza City demolished apartment buildings, leaving gaping holes where they once stood, while ground troops battled Hamas militants across northern Gaza.

Buoyed by the first successful rescue of a captive held by Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for a cease-fire and again vowed to crush the militant group's ability to govern Gaza or threaten Israel.

Though more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians have fled their homes, several hundred thousand remain in the north, where Israeli troops and tanks have reportedly advanced on multiple sides of Gaza City.

The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has reached 8,525, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, more than 122 Palestinians have been killed in violence and Israeli raids.

More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, most of them civilians slain in the initial Hamas rampage that started the fighting Oct. 7. In addition, around 240 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza by the militant group. One of the captives, a female Israeli soldier, was rescued in a special forces operation.

Currently:

  1. A UN envoy says the Israel-Hamas war is spilling into Syria, adding to instability there.

  2. Yemen's Houthi rebels claim attacks on Israel, drawing their main sponsor Iran closer to Hamas war.

  3. An Israeli ministry proposes transferring Gaza civilians to Egypt's Sinai.

  4. This war might hit Israel's economy harder than past wars with Hamas.

  5. Biden's Cabinet secretaries will push Congress to send aid to Israel and Ukraine.
