News Center- The attacks of Israel on the Gaza Strip continue on their 35th day. The Health Ministry in Gaza has announced that 10,812 Palestinians, including 4,412 children have been killed since October 7.

 Journalists in the region have reported violent clashes near the Al-Ouds Hospital in Gaza since yesterday. Thousands of displaced people have taken shelter in the hospital. The Israel military previously accused Hamas of using hospitals in Gaza as a shield for its tunnels and operational centers.

White House spokesperson John Kirby announced Thursday that Israel will start to implement four-hour pauses in fighting in areas of northern Gaza each day, with an announcement to be made three hours beforehand. “We've been told by the Israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over the duration of the pause, and that this process is starting today,” John Kirby said.

Indicating that they think the steps taken by Israel are “significant first steps”, John Kirby said, “Obviously we want to see them continued for as long as they are needed.”

‘Do not attend any meetings’

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine released a statement warning Palestinian authorities not to attend any confidential or open meetings with the US. “The Popular Front is against any meeting or project held by the US, the West and anyone who agrees with them to establish an administration under the occupation authority or to encourage an international administration to discuss the future of Gaza after the attacks end,” the statement said.

Formal complaint by Palestinian authority

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki has registered a formal complaint with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against Israel after its minister's threat to drop a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip. In a radio interview, Israeli heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu was asked about a hypothetical nuclear option as part of Israel’s ongoing military attack on Gaza. He replied: “That’s one way.”

According to Palestinian state news agency (WAFA), Riyad al-Maliki sent an official letter to the IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi on Wednesday and urged him to address the statements made by Israeli heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu, adding that the nuclear threat is “completing consistent with the prevailing discourse in Israel” against Palestinians.
