The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says at least twelve people have been killed in an Israeli air strike on the Indonesian hospital in Gaza City.
Its director said tanks were operating close by and accused Israeli forces of putting civilians in "the circle of death".
The Health Ministry says at least 13,300 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.
An Israeli military statement said it continued to target terrorists, adding three Hamas company commanders had been killed in the latest air strike.
Meanwhile, there appears to be growing optimism about the possible release of some of the more than 200 Israeli hostages seized by Hamas on October 7th.
US president Joe Biden says he believes a deal is near - in which a significant number of hostages could be released in exchange for a brief ceasefire.
