At least 103 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian territory's Civil Defense said tonight, as the Israeli military launched a large-scale ground operation.
The Israeli military said yesterday that it had "launched large-scale attacks and sent soldiers to take control of areas" of Gaza.
The goal is "the release of hostages and the defeat of Hamas," the army said in a statement.
The Palestinian Hamas has been holding the hostages since October 2023, an attack on Israel that triggered the country's military offensive.
The Hamas Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip announced today that all hospitals in the northern Palestinian territory are out of service.
The attacks prevent the arrival of patients and medical staff, as well as the delivery of medical supplies.
