LIVE UPDATES: Hamas Says All Hospitals in Gaza Strip Run Out of Fuel

In addition, Biden briefed Netanyahu on Washington's support for Israel and ongoing regional deterrence efforts, the statement read, adding that they agreed to talk again in the coming days.

At least 53 people, including children, were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes on residential buildings in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, media reported, citing a source.

“IDF: A short while ago, an IDF aircraft struck a terrorist cell that was identified in the area of Har Dov attempting to fire rockets from Lebanon toward Israeli territory,” the IDF wrote on its Telegram channel.

Hamas has taken more than 200 hostages, including US citizens, since launching a surprise attack on Israel earlier this month. However, Hamas may turn over 50 hostages within the next few hours amid negotiations led by Qatar, according to Israeli media reports.

The release was subsequently confirmed by the office of the Israeli prime minister.

According to the broadcaster, Qatar is playing a crucial role in negotiations, while Israel is officially not taking part in the talks.

“The International Court of Justice has decided to hold public hearings on the request for an advisory opinion in respect of the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, which will open on Monday 19 February 2024 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the Court,” the ICJ said in a statement.

The first two batches were delivered to Gaza on Saturday and on Sunday.

The Israeli foreign minister is also expected to meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his counterparts from other countries in New York. However, those meetings are still being finalized, the newspaper said.

The EU official also said that the European commissioner on crisis management and humanitarian aid, Janez Lenarcic, will join the Monday session, adding that the commissioner had warned about the need to supply Gaza with fuel for power plants and water desalination plants, otherwise there will be neither water nor electricity, which will complicate the work of the hospitals.

"The number of victims of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip has reached 5,087, including 2,055 children and 1,119 women and 217 elderly people. Also, 15,273 citizens were injured," Al-Qudra said.

"IDF: A short while ago, an interceptor was launched toward a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory. As a result of the interception, sirens were activated in open areas in northern Israel," the IDF said on Telegram.

The United Nations said last week over 1 million Palestinians had been displaced in the Gaza Strip due to the ongoing conflict.
