Israel continues its intensified military assault on Gaza City, focusing on dismantling underground structures and booby-trapped buildings, which has resulted in at least 60 Palestinian deaths according to Gazan health authorities.

• The assault coincides with 10 countries, including the UK and Canada, scheduled to formally recognize an independent Palestinian state on Monday.
• Israel's military estimates demolishing up to 20 Gaza City tower blocks and believes over 500,000 people have left the city since September, a figure disputed by Hamas.
• Since October 7, 2023, Israel's offensive has killed over 65,000 Palestinians and displaced most of the population; Hamas claims Israel has destroyed over 1,800 residential buildings and 13,000 tents.
