Live updates: Israel-Hamas war, Palestinian death toll in Gaza, calls for ceasefire

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday it has struck hundreds of Hamas targets and taken control of a military compound in Gaza over the last 24 hours.

“Over the last day, IDF fighter jets struck over 450 Hamas targets, including tunnels, terrorists, military compounds, observation posts, anti-tank missile launch posts and more,” the IDF said in a statement on Monday.

The IDF captured additional territory inside Gaza, the statement added.

“Overnight, IDF ground troops took control of a Hamas military compound in the Gaza Strip. The compound contains observation posts, training areas for Hamas operatives and underground terror tunnels.”

Israeli forces are conducting a significant strike in the enclave targeting Hamas infrastructure above and underground, as well as militants and senior commanders, army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Sunday.

Some context: The IDF launched a relentless bombardment on Gaza, following the Hamas’ attack that killed 1,400 in Israel on October 7.

Israeli strikes have hit civilian areas including residential neighborhoods, hospitals, refugee camps and schools, killing more than 9,700 people, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah, using data drawn from medical sources in the Hamas-controlled enclave. At least 4,800 of the fatalities are children, the ministry added.
