Israel and Hamas appeared no closer to a breakthrough in indirect talks meant to pause the war and free some Israeli hostages after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Washington visit last week.

After an Israeli airstrike killed eight Palestinians, including children, at a water collection point, Israel has said that it was a mistake. Officials said that Israeli strikes killed 139 Palestinians in the past 24 hours.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says women and children make up more than half of the over 58,000 dead in the war. The ministry doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. View on euro
