One child was told that no one was looking for her and that Israel was gone.

Amid some of the war’s heaviest bombing, Israeli forces battled Hamas deep into the city of Khan Younis, with few signs that Israel was heeding Biden administration calls to show more restraint.

The president denounced “horrific accounts of unimaginable cruelty” toward women during the Hamas-led attacks on Israel and said Hamas had refused to release its remaining female hostages.

Israel’s renewed strikes have killed hundreds since Friday, Gazan officials say, raising questions about its stated efforts to reduce harm to civilians.

Israel’s renewed strikes have killed hundreds since Friday, Gazan officials say, raising questions about its stated efforts to reduce harm to civilians.

Israel, escalating its assault against Hamas in southern Gaza, warned civilians there to evacuate, but some said there was nowhere left to go.
