Israel launched new strikes on the Gaza Strip on Sunday as Israeli leaders face growing pressure to negotiate and secure the release of hostages kidnapped by Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he wanted to maintain “military pressure” once morest the Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, despite the emotion aroused in Israel by the death of three hostages killed”by mistake” by soldiers.

Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza, “which is currently operating at a minimum, must urgently at least resume its basic activities to help the thousands of people who need vital care“, urges the World Health Organization (WHO), in a press release on Sunday.

A first humanitarian aid convoy entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday through the Israeli Kerem Shalom crossing point, according to an Egyptian Red Crescent source.

In total, “79 trucks started entering today (Sunday)“, said this source on condition of anonymity. Israel announced Friday that it had approved “temporarily“the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through one of its crossing points, in order to decongest that of Rafah between the Palestinian territory and Egypt, which had been the only point of entry since the start of the war entry of food and medicine trucks into Gaza.
