The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday that two-thirds of Gaza's hospitals have halted operations due to the Israeli blockade. The testimony of a surgeon in the Gaza Strip, sent by Médecins Sans Frontières, shows the appalling conditions in which patients are being treated: "I amputated a foot on the ground of a nine-year-old boy. His mother and sister were in front." The Israeli Armed Forces have launched "a large-scale operation" against 24 military targets in the last 400 hours. Hamas, which has ruled the enclave since 2007, said 704 Palestinians had been killed in the bombings. Since the attack by Hamas militants on Israel on October 7, in which they killed some 1,400 people, the Israeli army has been shelling the Strip incessantly, where 5,791 Palestinians have already died, including 2,360 children, according to the Gazan Ministry of Health. In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed in Israel that the international coalition fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria could fight Hamas, an organization considered terrorist by the EU and the United States. .

Israeli army drone kills three Palestinians in Jenin (West Bank)
At least three people have been killed during the early hours of the morning in Jenin (West Bank) by an Israeli army drone attack. Israel says they are three Palestinian terrorists who were shooting at its soldiers during an operation in the Burqin refugee camp.
In a statement, the Israeli military (IDF) said that during an operation in which it was carrying out "anti-terror activities," a group of "armed terrorists shot and threw explosive devices at Israeli security forces." In retaliation, one of its attack drones "hit the terrorists."
According to the UN humanitarian agency (OCHA), at least 95 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank in clashes with Israeli forces since Hamas' October 7 attacks, which triggered the current escalation of violence.

Tunisia is considering condemning relations with Israel with penalties of up to life imprisonment
A parliamentary committee in Tunisia unanimously approved a draft bill that criminalizes the normalization of relations with Israel with fines and penalties ranging up to life imprisonment amid mass protests over Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip. The Committee on Freedoms will now have to send the text to the council of the hemicycle to set the date of the plenary session in the coming days in order to debate and vote on this project that proposes to sanction direct treatment or mediation through commercial, educational, cultural, military or intelligence activities with what it describes as a "Zionist entity". Speaking to local radio station Mosaïque FM, the president of this body, Héla Jaballah, explained that it will come into force after its application in the Official State Gazette and its sanction will be "imprescriptible" and will not take into account any "mitigating circumstances". In recent weeks, thousands of citizens have taken to the streets both in spontaneous demonstrations and those called by civil society to support Palestine and against Israel, but also the United States and France, which they accuse of being "accomplices" for their unconditional support.
