Details of the Israeli attacks. “Around 200 Hamas terrorist targets” were attacked on the night of Sunday, December 3rd to Monday, December 4th, the Israeli army said.

Since fighting resumed on Friday, the army has focused primarily on air strikes.
The Israeli army announces the identities of the three soldiers who died on Sunday. In a statement, the Israeli army released the names of three soldiers who died in the fighting in the Gaza Strip. They are Neriya Shaer (36), Ben Zussman (22) and Binyamin Yehoshua Needham (19).

The American Vice President also underlined the US commitment to a solution based on the coexistence of two states. She also expressed these sentiments in a separate conversation with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in which she expressed her support for the Palestinian people and their right to security, dignity and self-determination.
