The G7 group of nations – including the UK and US – call for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting in Gaza
Such pauses would allow more aid into Gaza, and would allow more civilians to leave
Pauses are not the same as a ceasefire – which Israel has ruled out while Hamas holds Israeli hostages in Gaza
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also insists there should be no Israeli reoccupation of Gaza after the war
Hamas-run authorities say homes were bombed in Gaza City overnight, with deaths reported
The Israeli military says it kills a Hamas weapons leader and “continues to operate deep in the Gaza Strip”
Israel launched its operation after the Hamas attacks on 7 October, which saw 1,400 people killed and more than 200 taken hostage
More than 10,300 people have been killed in Gaza according to the Hamas-run health ministry, including more than 4,100 children
