Catch up on the highlights of the final US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Joe Biden has renewed his attack on President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic ahead of the presidential election on 3 November. The Democratic candidate told the debate in Nashville, Tennessee: "Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain president of the United States of America. "He says we're, you know, learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it." Mr Trump responded by saying: "We're rounding the corner. It's going away," adding that "we can't close up our nation or we won't have one".

Dozens of gunmen from the Islamist militant group Hamas appear to have infiltrated southern Israel in a surprise rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of people are being treated in Israeli hospitals, with at least one Israeli woman confirmed to have been killed in the attack. Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu said “we are at war”, adding that the enemy will “pay a price he has never known”.

At least 250 Israelis have been killed and 1,900 injured after the terrorist group Hamas launched attacks against Israel over the weekend. President Joe Biden voiced his support for Israel and warned enemies not to escalate. NBC’s Raf Sanchez reports for Sunday

President Joe Biden returned to the U.S. overnight after a trip to Israel where he offered his backing to the country after the Hamas attack and announced a deal with Egypt to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Biden's visit was overshadowed by a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday that has fueled protests across the Middle East and hampered diplomatic efforts. The U.S. has offered public backing to Israel's insistence that the blast was not the result of an Israeli airstrike, with U.S. officials and Western military expertstelling NBC News that it was likely a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket. The Palestinian Health Ministry said 471 people were killed in what it called a "targeted" Israeli bombing of the hospital. Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office at 8 p.m. ET, as the administration seeks a new funding package for Israel as well as Ukraine and Taiwan. With a ground assault on Gaza likely looming, there are questions about what comes next and growing concerns about broader escalation. More than 3,400 people have been killed and more than 12,500 have been injured in Gaza. In Israel, 1,400 people have been killed and 3,500 wounded. NBC News’ Lester Holt, Tom Llamas, Richard Engel, Raf Sanchez, Kelly Cobiella, Josh Lederman, Matt Bradley, Ellison Barber, Chantal Da Silva and Alexander Smith are reporting from the region.
