Our live coverage of?the?conflict in Israel and Gaza?has?moved here.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during a press conference in Tel Aviv, on October 28.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear on Monday that Israel would not agree to a ceasefire as the country’s ground operations in Gaza intensify. He said while the Bible says there is a time for peace,?he said “this?is a time for war.”

Meanwhile, a Hamas spokesperson said Israel was not successful in entering Gaza “except in some limited areas” and described the humanitarian situation in the enclave as “disastrous.”

The Israel Defense Forces has not released details about how far it has advanced, but it is clear that Israeli troops have established positions well within the strip, with CNN crews reporting armored personnel carriers moving inside the border fence on Monday.

Here’s what else to know:

A female Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 has been rescued during ground operations in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said Monday.

An IDF spokesperson said they initially misspoke when they said she had been released from Hamas.?The initial IDF announcement was a translation error as she had been “actively rescued” with “boots on the ground” in a joint operation between the IDF and the Israeli Security Agency (ISA), or Shin Bet, IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday local time.

“Based on intelligence” the Israeli special forces went into northern Gaza knowing her whereabouts and rescued her, Conricus said.

“They were in there for a job,” Conricus said adding that he is happy with the results as Pvt. Ori Megidish is “well mentally and physically” and reunited with her family.

He added that Megidish has also provided information about her captivity with Israeli intelligence officers which “can be used for the future.”

Conricus did not share if there were other such operations planned based on existing intelligence on the exact whereabouts of the remaining hostages, but told CNN “we are definitely committed to get all of our 238 hostages currently held by Hamas in Gaza, all of them, to get them home.”

He alleged that Hamas is indulging in psychological warfare by using hostages as leverage.

Conricus pushed back on claims that Israel’s ground operations in northern Gaza would potentially have a negative impact on hostage negotiations, saying that based on the rescue of Pvt. Ori Megidish, “I would argue that the reality on the ground dictates differently.”

Conricus, who did not rule out other potential hostage rescue missions in the future, told CNN that Israeli forces on the ground are expecting “fierce resistance” and “tunnel warfare, booby traps, IEDS, anti-tank mines, snipers, and many other things,” but so far “progress is good.”

He added that the Israeli military is making “considerable efforts, now in the ground warfare, to distinguish between combatants and non-combatant,” adding that they are “moving slowly and deliberately.”

Japan is sanctioning nine individuals and a company linked to Hamas, its foreign ministry announced Tuesday.

The sanctioned entities include financiers and operatives, according to a statement issued by Japan’s foreign ministry. The company is Buy Cash Money and Money Transfer Company (Buy Cash), which is a Gaza-based business that provides money transfer and virtual currency exchange services, including Bitcoin, the ministry said.

All the sanctioned entities have been designated as “terrorists,” according to Japan’s foreign ministry.

The list features the same names?announced by the US Treasury Department?on October 18, when the US announced similar sanctions.?These are the first sanctions linked to Hamas announced by Japan.

Some context: In a statement issued on October 8, a day after the Hamas attack on Israel, the Japanese foreign ministry said it “strongly condemns such acts and urges the early release of those captives.”

“At the same time, Japan is deeply concerned about a number of casualties in the Gaza Strip caused by the attacks by the (Israel Defense Forces),” the statement read, adding it urged “all the parties concerned to exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid further damage and casualties.”

Chicago-area teen Natalie Raanan, who was released from captivity by Hamas on Friday along with her mother, is “back home in Chicago,” Yinam Cohen, Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, said Monday evening.

CNN?previously reported the Raanans are from the Chicago area and had been visiting relatives in Nahal Oz, a farming community in southern Israel, when they were taken hostage during Hamas’s deadly assault on October 7, according to their family.

The whereabouts of Natalie’s mother, Judith Tai Raanan, are unclear at this time.?

CNN has reached out to Raanan’s family.

Gilad Erdan, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, criticized the UN Security Council Monday for continuing to not condemn Hamas for its October 7?attacks on Israel.?

Erdan and other members of the Israeli delegation wore yellow Star of David stickers with “Never Again” written in the middle as an affront to the Security Council’s silence.

Damaged residential?buildings are seen near?Al-Quds?hospital?in?Gaza?City, on October 30.

The Al-Quds hospital trembled following heavy “artillery and airstrikes” in the surrounding Tal Al Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City, the Palestinian Red Cross Society said early Tuesday morning local time.

Those sheltering inside the hospital are “experiencing fear and panic,” the Palestinian Red Cross Society said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Some 12,000 internally displaced civilians are sheltering at the hospital, group said on Sunday.?

The Israeli military did not have an immediate comment on reports of activity in the area.?

The Al-Quds hospital?is located north of Wadi Gaza — the line south of which Israel has urged people in Gaza to flee.?

In central Gaza,?journalist Hassan Eslayeh told CNN that artillery fire in the area was consistent all day and night Monday.

He?witnessed the injured and dead being brought to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah,?including 31 bodies at the morgue tent that were being prepared for a morning prayer on the dead.

A CNN team in Sderot, Israel, heard heavy artillery fire near the Israel-Gaza border in the very early hours of Tuesday morning local time.

Nic Robertson, CNN international diplomatic editor, said they heard sustained heavy artillery fire from their location about a mile away (more than one kilometer) from the border with Gaza while filming The Source with Kaitlan Collins.

Robertson said the artillery had been steady for the past hour, but recently increased in intensity.

Riyad Al-Maliki talks to the press after a meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on October 18.

Speaking before the UN Security Council Monday, the Palestinian Authority’s foreign minister shared the grim reality Palestinians in Gaza are grappling with in the wake of Israel’s ground operation.?

The foreign minister said the majority of Gazans are now homeless and displaced.

“Moving from one family home to another, from a hospital to a church, from a mosque to an UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) school. Sleeping in their cars, sleeping in the streets and still being killed wherever they go,” he said, adding that Palestinians feel like there is nowhere?safe?left?in Gaza anymore.

Citing?the?Save the Children Foundation, Al-Maliki said 3,500 Palestinian children have been killed in the conflict in just three weeks, surpassing the annual number of children killed in conflict zones worldwide since 2019.

He questioned the UN Security Council’s inaction, asking, “How many more days will you wait to say enough?” urging the council to fulfill its duty to maintain international peace and security.

The foreign minister implored the Security Council to follow the General Assembly’s example by immediately establishing a durable humanitarian truce. He insisted that the Security Council must uphold its responsibilities to end the bloodshed, which he characterized as a threat to regional and international peace and security.

On Friday, an overwhelming majority of nations – 120 countries – voted for a United Nations resolution calling for a “sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza. The US, like Israel, has sharply criticized the effort and was one of 14 countries that voted against it on Friday.

Jordan brought the resolution to the General Assembly after successive attempts to call for ceasefires and humanitarian pauses failed in the more powerful Security Council.

At least 31 journalists have lost their lives since the latest Israel-Gaza conflict?began on October 7, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said in a?statement Monday.?

The journalists’ death toll includes 26 Palestinians, four Israelis, and one Lebanese, CPJ said, adding that it is investigating “numerous unconfirmed reports” of missing journalists and others who may been killed, detained, injured, or threatened.??

On Friday, the journalism advocacy group said this has been the “deadliest period” for journalists covering conflict since it began tracking in 1992.??

Addressing the United Nations Security Council Monday, US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield underscored the importance of protecting all civilian lives in the escalating conflict in the Middle East, saying regardless of their nationality, “a civilian is a civilian is a civilian.”

Thomas-Greenfield acknowledged the deaths of more than 60 staff members with the UN Relief and Works Agency?in Gaza since the war’s onset and emphasized the need to protect not only the lives of aid workers, but also the lives of journalists living and working inside Gaza.

The ambassador underlined the need for rapid and increased humanitarian assistance, including food, fuel, water, medicine, and essential services in Gaza and called for a scaling up of these supplies. She also noted the need for humanitarian pauses in the conflict, which could permit safe passage for civilians and facilitate humanitarian aid delivery.

The ambassador also expressed the US’ deep concern for the “significant uptick in violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.”

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, which is governed by the Palestinian Authority, since the October 7 attacks. Some have been killed by Israeli military forces and some by armed Israeli settlers living in the territory.

Thomas-Greenfield urged all members of the Security Council to work together to prevent any spillover of the crisis, and called out the General Assembly for not explicitly condemning Hamas’ actions.?

She expressed disappointment that the US-proposed resolution to the Security Council was blocked, emphasizing the importance of a unified Security Council in addressing the crisis.

Some background: Last week, the US introduced a draft resolution to the UN Security Council calling for humanitarian pauses to allow for aid to reach Gazan civilians. Both Russia and China vetoed the resolution. Previously, the US had vetoed a draft resolution introduced by Brazil at the UN Security Council which called for a humanitarian pause in the war, citing the need for more time for on-the-ground-diplomacy.

The?United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has called for the Kerem Shalom crossing linking Israel to Gaza to be opened in a bid to amp up humanitarian deliveries to the war-torn Gaza strip.?

In an address to the UN Security Council Monday, OCHA Director Lisa Doughten stressed the vital need to?“get humanitarian supplies and relief into Gaza safely, reliably, without impediment, and at the scale required.”?

After the Hamas attacks on October 7, Israel shut its?remaining?two border crossings with Gaza (Kerem Shalom and Erez), imposing a “complete siege” on the enclave.?

Doughten stressed Monday that the “scale of the horror” being experienced by Gazans is “hard to convey,” pointing towards an “increasingly desperate” civilian population.?

“In their desperation, people have resorted to breaking into UN warehouses in search of food and water,” Doughten said in the statement delivered on behalf of UN Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affair Martin Griffiths.

The UN is now struggling to provide for the thousands of Gazans who fled from the north of the strip after being told to evacuate by Israel.

According to Doughten, without fuel deliveries into the enclave, life is hanging on “by a thread” as “hospital backup generators run on fumes,” forcing surgeons to operate without anesthesia.?

Doughten called for the two warring sides to agree to a humanitarian pause, which she said would “provide the required calm and safety for hostages to be released, and for the UN to replenish supplies, relieve exhausted personnel, and resume assistance throughout Gaza wherever civilians are in need.”?

An Israeli attack has damaged the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, Gaza’s leading cancer hospital, director Sobhi Skaik told CNN on Monday.?

The building suffered a direct hit to the third floor, Skaik said, causing damage to oxygen and water supplies but no injuries to people inside.?

A video circulating on social media and geolocated by CNN showed smoke emerging from the hospital’s central building.

“The most severe damage is the anxiety and panic that afflicts patients,” Skaik said. “Today, there were people who fled the hospital because of what they saw.”??

Asked to comment by CNN Tuesday, Israel’s military said in a statement:?“The IDF did not strike Gaza’s?Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital.” It did not offer any other information.?

The hospital, which is located just to the south of Gaza City, was funded by the Turkish government, which expressed its anger over the strike in a statement from the Foreign Ministry.

“There is no explanation for such an attack, even though all necessary information, including the coordinates of the institution in question … was shared with the Israeli authorities in advance,” said officials in Ankara, Turkey’s capital.

Director Skaik said 200 people worked at the hospital, treating thousands of patients from across the strip each year.

He said the international community needed to do more to protect those most in need.

Second hospital struck in Beit Lahiya: Separately, Dr. Ateh Al Kahlout, the director the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, told CNN the building and its immediate vicinity had been shelled four times over the course of the day.

The hospital is in the northeast corner of the Gaza strip, which has come under some of the most sustained Israeli attacks since October 7.

Health officials have previously reported medical teams being unable to enter or exit the building due to damage from air strikes.

The hospital continues to be operating below full capacity, Al Kahlout told CNN, while at the same time it continues to provide shelter to thousands of displaced people.

The chief of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) issued a stark warning regarding water supply in Gaza on Monday, stressing that the situation is on the verge of “becoming a catastrophe.”?

Catherine Russell, whose agency provides humanitarian aid to children, outlined to the UN Security Council the devastating impact of heavy bombardment of civilian infrastructure in Gaza.?

“What little clean water remains in Gaza is quickly running out, leaving more than 2 million people in dire need. We estimate that 55% of the water supply infrastructure requires repair or rehabilitation,” Russell said.?

“Only one desalination plant is operating at just 5% capacity, while all six of Gaza’s water-waste treatment plants are now non-operational due to the lack of fuel or power.”?

She described the current situation as being on the “verge of becoming a catastrophe,” stressing that more civilians will likely die from dehydration and waterborne illnesses unless clean water supply is restored.?

In addition to the difficult environmental conditions, Russell drew attention to the “terrible trauma” being experienced by both children in Israel and Gaza and the occupied West Bank.?

The official said that without “an urgent end” to hostilities she fears “deeply” for the fate of the region’s children.?

“I implore the Security Council to immediately adopt a resolution that reminds parties of their obligations under international law … calls for a ceasefire … demands that parties allow safe and unimpeded humanitarian access … demands the immediate and safe release of all abducted and detained children … and urges parties to afford children the special protection to which they are entitled,” she added.?

“Children do not start conflicts, and they are powerless to stop them. They need all of us …to put their safety and security at the forefront of our efforts,” she concluded.?

At least 491 people were killed and 372 were injured in attacks on the health sector in Gaza since October 7, according to a?statement?from the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday.?

Out of the casualties, at least 16 health workers lost their lives and 30 were injured while on duty, WHO said, adding that 82 attacks on healthcare facilities have been documented in the enclave.

Since the first attack by Hamas, 28 ambulances have also been damaged and 36 health facilities have been affected, the statement read.?

WHO further said another 118 attacks on the health sector in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have been documented, killing three and injuring 15 health personnel on duty since October 7.

CNN did not immediately hear back from the Israeli military when reached for comment but the Israeli Defense Forces has maintained it does not intentionally strike civilian targets in its campaign against Hamas.

US officials are intently focused on trying to secure the release of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza — among them American citizens?—?a task that sources say is now further complicated?by?Israel’s expansion of its ground operations into Gaza.

The US remains a part of the ongoing talks that include Israel, Qatar, Egypt and Hamas to get a large group of hostages out of Gaza, and officials are now contending with Israel pressing forward with ground operations into the strip.

Officials with US President Joe Biden’s administration have been calling on Israel to consider so-called “humanitarian pauses” that can allow for civilians in Gaza, including hostages, to exit and for aid to get in.??

Offering a glimpse into how unpredictable and fluid the situation remains, a senior US official told CNN on Monday that they believed the prospects of getting hostages out could be described as “50/50.”

“The parameters are all there,” this official said about a potential deal. But efforts to negotiate with Hamas — mediated significantly by the Qataris — has been slow-going, in no small part because it simply takes a long time for messages to be transmitted from Doha to Hamas.?

Majed Al-Ansari, the spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and adviser to the Qatari prime minister, told CNN on Saturday that Israel’s escalation on the ground is making the situation “considerably more difficult.”

Israel has said the?intensifying ground offensive puts additional pressure on Hamas, and therefore may ultimately be helpful in the ongoing efforts to free hostages.??

A US official said there could in fact be some benefit to this approach.

Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said on Sunday that Hamas has “not been forthcoming about allowing these hostages to go,” but that the administration believes there is still a “pathway” for securing their release.

One source familiar with the discussions said the talks have centered on freeing hostages in exchange for prisoners being held by Israel.

Al-Ansari, the Qatari spokesperson, also said that there have been active discussions about a “prisoner exchange” for the hostages.???

The source added the negotiations also include?getting Hamas to open the Rafah gates for dual nationals to get out of Gaza.

“We are optimistic that the talks are headed more towards all civilian hostages,” al-Ansari said. “But obviously, it is a fluid situation … And we still don’t know will happen.”??

As the talks continue, there remains real skepticism about how serious Hamas is about the negotiations, the senior US?official said. “It’s Hamas after all.”?

The ongoing conflict in Middle East, coupled with Israel’s sustained offensive against Gaza, has resulted in the death of at least 64 UN aid workers —?the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict anywhere in the world in such a short period of time, a UN commissioner announced Monday.

Addressing the UN Security Council Monday, Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), spoke about the situation:

Lazzarini highlighted the devastated state of Gazans, saying they “feel that they are not treated as other civilians” and that “they feel the world is equating all of them to Hamas.”

“This is dangerous. And we know this too well from previous conflicts and crises. An entire population is being dehumanized,” he added.

The commissioner said that the recent communication blackout in Gaza this weekend further intensified the breakdown of civil order in the region.

“Panic pushed thousands of desperate people to head to the UNRWA warehouse and distribution centers where we store the food and other supplies,” he said.?

A spreading conflict: The commissioner noted that while the focus should remain on Gaza, it is important to acknowledge the increasing violence taking place in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

He said that Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank “are the highest since the UN started to keep records in 2005” as tensions between Israel and Lebanon continue to escalate and have resulted in the “regular exchanges of fire and civilian casualties.”

Lazzarini expressed deep concern about the potential spillover of the conflict beyond Gaza’s borders, emphasizing that “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire has become a matter of life and death for millions.”

The commissioner also underlined the obligation of all parties involved to adhere to international humanitarian laws.

The official also said the UNRWA needs a safe and unimpeded path to provide continuous humanitarian aid, including fuel, to the residents of the Gaza strip.?

“The rules of war must be followed by all parties, at all times, in all places. Civilians must be protected, hostages released, and a genuine humanitarian response facilitated.”

Humanitarian organization the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that it received food and medical supplies from 26 trucks that managed to cross into Gaza on Monday.?

A CNN stringer — who was present on the Egyptian side of the crossing — confirmed earlier Monday the 26 trucks had passed inspection and crossed into the Gaza Strip. The PRCS said this brings the total number of trucks that have crossed successfully from Egypt into Gaza to 144.?

In its statement, the aid group highlighted once again that fuel supplies have still not been allowed into the besieged enclave.?

Ricarda Louk shows a photo of her daughter Shani Louk in Berlin on October 19.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the death of 23-year-old German-Israeli woman Shani Louk after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull, a source involved with her identification told CNN.?

The bone fragment was from the?petrous part of the temporal bone, which is at the base of the skull, normally near the?carotid artery, a major blood vessel that provides blood to the brain.?A DNA test?concluded?the fragment?belonged to Louk.?

The bone fragment, combined with the circumstances surrounding the October 7?attack and video that appeared to show Louk unconscious on the back of a Hamas truck, led investigators to conclude these were her remains.??

The determination was made by five top experts at the health ministry, including Dr. Chen Kugel, the director of Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine.

Louk attended the Nova music festival in southern Israel when Hamas attacked.?

The Israeli foreign ministry said Louk was kidnapped at the festival and “tortured and paraded around Gaza by Hamas terrorists.” The ministry said she experienced “unfathomable horrors.”

The identification adds Louk to the hundreds-high death toll of Hamas’ terror attacks on southern Israel. More than 260 bodies were found at the Nova festival site itself, according to Israeli rescue service Zaka but, based on?CNN’s analysis, the total death toll could be even higher.

Note: Israeli authorities previously announced that?Louk had been “found and identified”?but did not specify that a bone fragment was found.

A photo released by the IDF on October 30 shows its forces continue to expand ground operations in Gaza.

Israel’s ground operation in the Gaza Strip intensified on Monday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) apparently advancing further inside the enclave. CNN teams on the ground in Sderot, about a kilometer from the Gaza perimeter, heard machine gun fire on numerous occasions during the day, suggesting intense fighting on the ground in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip.

The IDF has not released details about how far it has advanced, but it is clear that Israeli troops have established positions well within the strip. Tanks and armored personnel carriers were seen moving inside the border fence on Monday, with more vehicles seen approaching toward the perimeter from staging grounds further away.

At the same time, the IDF continued its campaign of intense bombardment against Gaza, now well into its third week, firing artillery rounds, mortars and what appeared to be guided munitions into the Strip. Fighter jets, drones and helicopters were also operating in the area, with one plane flying in circles over the enclave for much of the afternoon.

IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said earlier in the day that the Israeli military is “expanding” its activity.

Earlier, a video of an Israeli tank apparently opening fire on a passenger vehicle as it executed a U-turn on the main road running through Gaza was shared online. Geolocated by CNN and filmed by Yousif Al Saifi, a Palestinian freelance journalist, the footage shows the tank close to the Netzarim junction, a key crossroads to the south of Gaza city, and about 3 kilometers from the Strip’s eastern boundary.

In response to the video, a spokesperson for the IDF told CNN that Hamas uses civilian equipment inside Gaza, but acknowledged that they didn’t know who was inside that particular car.

“How can you tell there aren’t terrorists inside that car? Hamas has no jeeps or tanks, they use civilian equipment for their military purposes,” IDF spokesman Maj. Nir Dinar told CNN.

The IDF said Monday its troops, supported by the Israel Air Force, managed to thwart “multiple attacks from several terrorist cells” in Gaza. It also said it “destroyed terror infrastructure, including anti-tank missile launchers and other launch pads.”

Despite the intense pressure Israeli forces are applying to the Gaza Strip, Hamas continues to fire rockets toward Israel. CNN’s team in Sderot saw several outgoing rounds being fired in the early evening, after multiple rounds earlier in the day.
