The Israeli military struck targets across Gaza overnight and early on Monday, including in areas where Palestinian civilians have been told to seek refuge. Prominent Israeli daily Haaretz reported that Israeli forces struck more than 320 Hamas targets overnight, citing a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security service. The targets included Hamas tunnels, dozens of the organization's headquarters, military compounds and observation posts. Hamas authorities said that some 60 people had been killed, including 17 who were killed in a strike on a house in Jabaliya in northern Gaza, French news agency AFP reported.

Israel has released a slew of evidence they claim proves an overnight explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds of people. In an audio clip procured by Israeli military intelligence, two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard discussing the explosion. The two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard confirming the rocket came from Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) - an independent jihadist group. Over the years, Hamas gained some political legitimacy, while Islamic Jihad remained primarily focused on armed attacks. There have been times when the PIJ has taken the front seat while Hamas remained on the sidelines during clashes with Israel.

A surprise deadly attack was carried out by Palestinian group Hamas on Israel, breaching security barriers and a barrage of rockets fired from Gaza. Hamas fired as many as 5,000 rockets into Israeli territory. Israel subsequently said it was at war with Hamas, and launched retaliatory strikes. Here's a timeline of how the conflict unfolded on Day 1 on October 7. Watch this to know more.

An airstrike hit a Greek Orthodox church housing displaced Palestinians overnight, according to reports. Mohammed Abu Selmia, director general of Shifa Hospital, said dozens were hurt at the Church of Saint Porphyrios but could not give a precise death toll because bodies were still under the rubble. Palestinian authorities have blamed the blast on an Israeli airstrike - a claim that has not been independently verified. Meanwhile, hundreds of lorries are waiting at the Rafah crossing with aid for Gaza - but a deal will only allow up to 20 in, and it's still not clear when.
