Pushing ahead with its offensive in Gaza City, the Israeli military is homing in on structures it says are being used by Hamas militants. An IDF airstrike demolished a 14-story building, one of the few remaining high-rises in the densely populated area.

In Israel, families of hostages marked 700 days since their loved ones were taken captive, once again expressing their criticism of the military operation.

Video footage showing two Israeli hostages being driven around Gaza City has heightened concerns for the safety of those held captive by Hamas.
