For more on Israeli attacks on northern Gaza, check out our story here.

You can watch the video of an Israeli warship passing through the Suez Canal, which has sparked outrage online, here.

And you can follow all of our coverage of the war on Gaza and the attacks on Lebanon, here.

We will be closing this live page soon. Here is a recap of today’s main news:

• At least 35 people were killed during Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said, with nearly half of the deaths in northern areas where the army has waged a monthlong siege.
• The Palestinian Civil Defence says that more than 100,000 people in northern Gaza are without food, water and medicine.
• Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, says Israeli forces bombed the children’s floor, the nursery department and water tanks in the health facility.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking from Israel’s border with Lebanon, says Hezbollah must be pushed back beyond the Litani River, with or without a ceasefire deal in place.
• Hezbollah says it launched a barrage of missiles at an Israeli military base in the northern coastal city of Haifa.

Health officials at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya in besieged northern Gaza say the facility came under Israeli tank fire and one child who has been hospitalised has been critically wounded.

Hussam Abu Safia, the hospital’s director, said the incident took place after a delegation from the World Health Organization visited the facility and evacuated some patients.

While evacuating the wounded is important, it’s more important to dispatch specialised medical teams to north Gaza hospitals that have become overwhelmed by the number of casualties during Israel’s monthlong ground incursion, he said.

Abu Safiya said the tank fire hit water supplies, the courtyard and the neonatal intensive care unit.

An Israeli settler has died from wounds sustained from a Hezbollah rocket attack in the northern city of Nahariya last week.

Israel’s Army Radio said the unnamed man, 57, was injured by shrapnel from a rocket fired by Hezbollah into the city on October 23.

On that day, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing a barrage of rockets on Nahariya and the Western Galilee region.

Last week, seven civilians were killed in one day by rocket fire in Metula and near Haifa, in one the deadliest days of the war for Israel.

We are getting reports of another Israeli attack on a home in Gaza, this time in the Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.

Our colleagues on the ground say at least two people have been killed and others wounded.

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, described the challenges he’s facing in treating the many wounded Palestinians seeking care.

“In this war, we’ve had to learn to do everything. As Israeli forces stormed the hospital and detained the entire medical staff, I, together with my assistant physician, we were left alone between a rock and hard place, either to give up or start doing what we can to save lives,” Abu Safiya told Al Jazeera.

“We’ve been flooded with victims suffering all kinds of injuries… I have a message for the world – not only to the WHO, the Red Cross and the international community – but also to the proponents of international law and all those who pontificate on humanity and human rights: An urgent humanitarian passage must be opened without delay to have fuel and medical supplies delivered, and also to allow for specialised medical staff to come and lend a helping hand.

“We have been abandoned by the whole world and left to work under unimaginably harsh and horrifying conditions.”

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report that two Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli attack on a house in Beit Lahiya.

The UN has described the situation in parts of northern Gaza as “apocalyptic” as Israel continues to block humanitarian aid and launch attacks from the ground, air and sea.

Israel attacked Iran and said its objectives have been achieved. Its military said the strikes were precise and warned Tehran against further escalation.

But what if Iran responds? And could the two sides be on a path to a full-blown confrontation?

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports that Israeli fighter jets attacked the al-Jabal neighbourhood in the town of Jebchit.

Israel’s army fired four artillery shells on the outskirts of Burj al-Muluk, another town in southern Lebanon, said the NNA.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has denounced Israel’s continued destruction of homes and mosques in Gaza.

“By systematically destroying mosques, churches, schools, hospitals, and entire cities across Gaza while pursuing a campaign of extermination, forced starvation and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, the far-right Israeli government – enabled and excused by a complicit Biden administration – is clearly guilty of the crime of genocide,” CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, said in a statement.

“Our government has the ability and legal duty to stop this genocide, regardless of President Biden’s remarkable indifference to human suffering and steadfast subservience to a genocidal foreign government.”

The United Nations children’s agency has warned that the entire population in northern Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease and famine.

Talks among Palestinian factions in Cairo have been “positive”, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan has said.

However, speaking to the Palestinian group’s Al-Aqsa TV, he said he did not want to rush to conclusions.

Hamdan also said that Hamas had not received any new written proposals regarding a possible ceasefire in Gaza.

Yemen’s Houthis say they’ll maintain their maritime blockade against Israeli vessels in response to “intelligence information” regarding Israeli shipping companies selling their assets to other firms.

Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson of the group, said in a televised address that the Houthis would not recognise any changes of ownership and warned against any collaboration with these companies.

The Houthis are an Iran-aligned group based in Yemen and have said their attacks are a response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, and the international community’s failure to put an end to it.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz says Hamas must be dismantled, and all captives must be returned home.

“The measures we have taken in Tehran, Gaza, Yemen, and Lebanon have changed the equation, and Israel has regained its position and strength,” Katz said in comments to Israeli media.

A Lebanese woman, Dr Julia Ali, expressed her sorrow after watching footage taken by Israeli soldiers showing them messing with and sitting on the piano she played for years in her home in the town of Khiam, in southern Lebanon.

Julia posted on her Instagram account a video verified by Al Jazeera showing her playing in the same place a year ago.

Below the video, she wrote, “Watching the place I called home turn to rubble is a pain too deep for words. This wasn’t just walls and a roof; this was years of my family’s dreams, sacrifices, and love built into a sanctuary. Now, to see invaders wandering through it, mocking it, touching the piano where I once poured my heart into every note… it feels like they’re trampling on pieces of my soul.”

She continued, “In the first video, a year ago, I’m playing a piece from a movie called ‘The Pianist ‘. Back then, I could never have imagined that my country would be living a tragedy so similar now.

“I end this reel with a video of me playing that piano in my homeland, in the home that once held my heart. I have hope that we will rise from this, rebuilding not just a house but a new chapter filled with resilience, strength, and the memories of all that was lost.”

Lebanon’s Hezbollah says it launched a barrage of missiles at an Israeli military base in the northern coastal city of Haifa.

The group said in a statement that it targeted “for the first time the technical base of Haifa, affiliated with the Israeli air force” with a barrage of missiles, after it earlier claimed a drone attack on another military base south of the city.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says its premises were attacked in an Israeli strike near the Burj al-Shemali camp in Lebanon’s Tyre area.

“UNRWA is currently conducting an assessment to determine the extent of the damage,” it said in a situation report.

A mother in Gaza has been forced to say goodbye to the body of her son via a video call before his burial.

The Israeli military’s monthlong siege of parts of northern Gaza has stranded and divided many families. Tamir, 21, who worked as a driver delivering humanitarian aid, was killed in an Israeli artillery strike on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza on Saturday.
