Israel’s military says it was targeting a Hamas commander in a strike on a refugee camp in Gaza in which dozens of people are believed to have died. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) say the commander of Hamas’s Central Jabaliya Battalion, who it says was one of the leaders of the massacres in Israel on

We watched the latest feed of pictures and interviews sent to us in southern Israel by our Sky News colleagues in Gaza. We are only a few miles apart but we could be on different continents. The Sky News team and other journalists who live in Gaza are our eyes and ears to what is happening
Israel will not agree to a ceasefire as it would be equivalent to surrendering to Hamas and terrorism, Benjamin Nethanyu has said. The Israeli prime minister said his country would not stop military activity “just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or the terrorist attack
I’ve covered many of the Israeli incursions into Gaza over the years, mainly, it has to be said, from inside the narrow enclave. From there I barely glimpsed at an Israeli soldier as they rarely came with intent to move into the main urban areas. That has changed. Now, from over the border in Israel,
Hundreds of people including young children and babies line the corridors of a Gaza City hospital, which the Israeli authorities have ordered to evacuate, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). In footage released by the rescue service, youngsters as well as adults and elderly people are seen throughout the crowded building sat down
In 1989 many of us thought it was all over, bar the shouting. The Cold War was over. The Berlin Wall fell. That summer, the American political scientist Francis Fukuyama published his celebrated essay The End Of History? postulating: “What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the ongoing ground operation in Gaza is the “second stage of the war” after additional forces entered the territory. He described having troops on the ground as “only the beginning” and said Israel’s military would exert every effort to return those who have been taken captive. Mr Netanyahu,
Israel will expand ground operations tonight and has warned residents of Gaza City to move south. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), said: “In addition to the attacks that we carried out in recent days, ground forces are expanding their activity this evening. “The IDF is acting with great
On 7 October – three weeks ago this weekend – Hamas launched a vicious, deadly and barbaric attack on Israel. Hamas is no match for Israel’s military capability, and the world watched in trepidation as Israel mobilised over 350,000 reservists and prepared for swift and decisive military retribution. However, three weeks later, despite regular threats
China’s former deputy leader Li Keqiang has died after suffering a heart attack. The English-speaking economist, 68, had once been considered a contender for the country’s top job, but was passed over in favour of Xi Jinping. Under the centralising grip of President Xi and his amassing of ever-greater powers, China’s premier and second-in-charge became
All the civilians being held hostage in Gaza can be released in days, if there is a pause in the fighting, the Qataris leading negotiations say. Dr Mohammed Al Khulaifi, senior negotiator and Qatar’s minister of state for foreign affairs, told Sky News in an exclusive interview that the negotiations to free Israelis taken by
Israel sent tanks and troops into northern Gaza overnight, in the “biggest incursion” of the war with Hamas so far, according to the country’s military. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it carried out a brief ground raid to strike several military targets. The attack was intended to “prepare the battlefield”, the IDF said, before
Negotiations to release more Hamas hostages from Gaza are ongoing but could be jeopardised by an Israeli ground offensive, Qatari mediators have warned. “If we can keep discussions going between both parties we should see some sort of breakthrough, hopefully soon,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, Qatar’s foreign minister, told Sky News in a
There was a nervous energy at a dusty staging post for ground troops, waiting for an order to invade Gaza. Several soldiers, stern-faced and in full combat gear, asked not to be filmed. Others, however, appeared more relaxed, even smiling as they stood by a line of armoured personnel carriers on a sprawling stretch of
Israel is taking its time before launching a ground invasion into Gaza as troops would have “fallen into a deadly trap” set by Hamas had they entered too quickly, a top Israeli diplomat has said. Emmanuel Nahshon, a senior official at the country’s foreign ministry, said it was also “not a bad thing” for the
Hamas has released two more hostages, with the British daughter of one of the women flying to Israel after saying she’s relieved beyond words. Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, and Nurit Cooper, 79, were taken to the Rafah crossing into Egypt and put into ambulances. Hamas said it released them on humanitarian and “poor health grounds”, but
The key Hamas negotiator over the fate of more than 200 hostages held by the group inside Gaza says all the civilians among them will be released – if the right conditions are met. Khaled Meshaal is a powerful figure within Hamas, revered as a living martyr after surviving an Israeli attempt to assassinate him
Hamas terrorists who broke into Israel were carrying instructions on how to make chemical weapons, according to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Israeli forces claim they discovered the material on the bodies of dead fighters in Kibbutz Be’eri, where an estimated 20% of the 1,100 residents were killed or kidnapped. The documents, complete with diagrams, were shown
Five people have been killed in the West Bank as Israel carried out a strike on a mosque it says was used to organise attacks – as more than 50 Palestinians are reported to have died in strikes on Gaza overnight. Israel also struck two airports in Syria as fears grow the two-week old war
I stopped counting after the ninth person was shot in front of us on another day of protests in the West Bank. It was clearly a tactic by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to send a message – to the usual suspects who regularly hurl rocks at their vehicles and security posts – that today
