At least 100 people killed, 286 wounded in Israeli attacks on homes in central Gaza in the past 24 hours, health ministry says, reports Al-Jazeera.

The Israeli war cabinet will meet to discuss captive-prisoner exchanges as Netanyahu vows to continue the war.

With the lastest deaths, at least 21,672 people killed and 56,165 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza for nearly three months has destroyed 70 percent of the homes in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to the Government Media Office.

No further details were provided but an earlier report said more than 200 heritage and archaeological sites were destroyed in the Israeli bombardment considered the most destructive in modern history.

About 300,000 out of 439,000 homes have been destroyed in Israeli attacks, a Wall Street Journal report said. Analysing satellite imagery, the report added that the 29,000 bombs dropped on the strip have targeted residential areas, Byzantine churches, hospitals and shopping malls and all civilian infrastructure has been damaged to an extent that they cannot be repaired.

Fifteen injured in Israeli raids in occupied West Bank.

The Palestine Red Crescent says at least 15 people have been injured in Israeli raids in Tulkarem city and the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces have also carried out a raid in Silwan, occupied East Jerusalem.
