The Bottom Line
- On the 26th day of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, heavy ground fighting is taking place in the Gaza Strip between fighters of the Islamist movement and the Israeli army.
- Israel said more than 1,400 people were killed in the Oct. 7 attack. Hamas' health ministry said more than 8,500 people, including 3,542 children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war with Israel. We cannot verify this assessment.
- Hamas on Tuesday accused the Israeli military of killing at least 50 civilians in a shelling that hit a refugee camp in the northern part of the enclave.
- 35 Frenchmen were killed by Hamas terrorists. Nine are being held hostage or are missing.

Dozens killed in refugee camp, Hamas death toll says
The Israeli army's bombing of the largest refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, to "eliminate" a Hamas leader, has left dozens dead and hundreds wounded, according to a Hamas toll that we cannot verify. An AFP video shows at least 47 bodies draped in shrouds lying on the ground in the courtyard of a hospital after being pulled from the rubble.

The Israeli army confirmed the bombing of the Jabalya camp, in the far north of the enclave, saying it had successfully targeted Ibrahim Biari, who was said to be one of the leaders of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, and who was in "a vast complex of underground tunnels from which he directed operations." The IDF did not confirm the death toll, but said civilians were being asked to leave the northern part of the enclave, which Israel considers "a war zone."
