A surprise attack by Hamas put Israel and the group that controlled Gaza at war. Here are images from the assault and what has followed.
Both sides announced a four-day pause in the war between Israel and Hamas, but details were still being worked out.
Residents of the enclave expressed hope about a pause in Israel’s bombardment but felt that the agreement would not bring an end to the war.
The agreement calls for a pause in the fighting and for Hamas to free 50 of the captives it seized in its Oct. 7 raid on Israel. Hamas said Israel would release 150 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Tuesday called for the government to back a hostage deal, while saying that he will continue the war on Hamas.
The strike killed 12 people, officials said, at the Indonesian Hospital in the Gaza Strip, where the U.N. says most hospitals no longer function and those that do cannot provide complex care.
After weeks of division, the Council adopted a resolution that stopped short of calling for a cease-fire.
Under the proposed agreement, Hamas would release 50 women and children abducted during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks for roughly the same number of Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons.
The operation at the main hospital complex in Gaza came after Israel released videos showing what it said were weapons inside a children’s hospital in the enclave.
Even before the war, the U.N. agency that helps Palestinian refugees was struggling financially. Now, it faces an even bigger crisis.
