Israeli forces targeted multiple locations across the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 33 people since dawn, medical teams have said.
Palestinian have been killed in Jabalia and Shujaiya, as well as several neighbourhoods of Gaza City, including a school-turned-shelter.
Northern Gaza has been under attack and siege for more than 100 days, with the intensification of attacks beginning in early October.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration sees a possible Gaza truce as soon as this week, White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan told Bloomberg News on Monday, adding that there were no guarantees that the parties would agree to such a deal.
Sullivan, speaking to Bloomberg in an interview, added that the Biden administration has been in contact with incoming President Donald Trump’s team and has sought to have a united front on the issue ahead of Washington’s January 20 transition of power.
“The pressure building here towards the end of President Biden’s term has been considerable,” Sullivan said. “It’s there for the taking.”
“The question is now: Can we all collectively seize the moment and make this happen,” Sullivan added.
