Here is the news from the last 24 hours surrounding the war between Israel and Hamas:
– Gaza's 'largest tunnel' discovered. The Israeli army claimed to have discovered the “largest tunnel” dug by Hamas under the Gaza Strip, which opened just a few hundred meters from its territory. “This vast network of tunnels, divided into several branches, stretches for more than four kilometers and is located just 400 meters from the Erez border crossing” between Israel and the northern Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said. They assure that it cost millions of euros and was dug for years under the direction of Mohamed Sinouar, the brother of Yahya Sinouar, the Hamas leader considered the architect of the October 7 attack.
– Telecommunications have been partially restored in Gaza after a three day break. The Palestinian operator Paltel reported in a press release about the “gradual restoration” of the network in the center and south of the territory, which has been down since Thursday.
– A destroyed hospital. The World Health Organization said it was “shocked by the actual destruction” of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip following an Israeli army operation that left “at least eight patients” dead, according to the WHO. Israel criticized the WHO for not saying “that Hamas was founded in the hospital.”
– Arrival of humanitarian aid. According to a source from the Egyptian Red Crescent, the first humanitarian aid convoy entered the Gaza Strip via the Israeli Kerem Shalom border crossing on Sunday. In total, “79 trucks started entering today (Sunday),” this source said on condition of anonymity. Israel announced on Friday that it had “temporarily” authorized the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through one of its border crossings in order to relieve pressure on the Rafah crossing between the Palestinian territory and Egypt, which has been the only entry point for food and medicine transporters into Gaza since the start of the war .
– To be continued this Monday : Ten days after an American veto, the UN Security Council must decide on a new text calling for an “urgent and permanent cessation of hostilities” in Gaza.
