Israeli media reports troops are set to enter Gaza City within 48 hours as the Palestinian territory continues to come under aerial bombardment.
Gaza lost communications in its third total outage of the conflict so far, as Israel's military said it had divided the Palestinian territory into two. Israeli media reported the country's troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours, having encircled the area. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza overnight, with the conflict now in its fifth week after Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October.
The Maghazi refugee camp was one of those hit, with at least 40 people killed and 34 wounded, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said. An Associated Press reporter at a nearby hospital saw eight dead children, including a baby, brought in after the strike. The second airstrike was reported to have hit a house near a school at the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Staff at al Aqsa Hospital told the AP at least 13 people were killed. Israel has not confirmed it carried out the strikes.
