Famine looms in Gaza and strikes kill at least 30 Palestinians, but EU states remain divided over how to tackle Israel.

At least five Israeli soldiers were killed and one remains missing after a major resistance ambush in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza.

Five IDF soldiers killed and 14 injured after a roadside bomb exploded in northern Gaza's Beit Hanoun area, with troops coming under fire during evacuation efforts.

Hamas says it has agreed to release 10 Israeli captives as part of continuing efforts to reach a ceasefire in the besieged and bombarded Gaza Strip, but warned that ongoing talks for a truce were “tough” due to Israel’s “intransigence”.
