Gaza’s Health Ministry has said women and children make up more than half the fatalities, but does not say how many of the dead were fighters or civilians.

Israel has vowed to catch the perpetrators after gunmen killed three people and wounded seven others in an attack on a bus carrying Israelis in the West Bank. It comes as outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he maintains hope that a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas could be reached in the near future.

Hamas official Ahmad Abd al-Hadi says the agreement aims for a complete end to the war and Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza, with Netanyahu's approval now crucial.
