"The West Bank is still at a boiling point as Israeli raids continue along with violent confrontations, resulting in two Palestinians killed in the past 24 hours, one of them is a child and over 50 Palestinians were arrested overnight.
Here in Arura Village near Ramallah City, where we can see the house of senior leader of Hamas Saleh al-Arouri was completely demolished. The army took over the house ten days ago amid the start of this war, put a sign on it and announced to the villagers of Arura that the house is now an intelligent center.
The Israeli tanks are now seen advancing towards the northwest of Gaza City after the announcement of the start of the second stage of combat on Saturday. Very heavy armed clashes emerged between the army and Hamas fighters.
Israeli tanks now control Salah al-Din Street in the middle of Gaza City, and are seen to advance towards the Al Rashid Street. Salah al-Din is a vital street for Gazans and one of two main streets that connect northern Gaza to the southern part."

"Here I am in Tel Aviv, the financial center of Israel. Israeli army continues its ground operation in Gaza on Tuesday. According to a statement from the IDF, it attacked about 300 military posts of Hamas during the past day (Monday), and killed a large number of Hamas militants.
In the southernmost city of Eilat, sirens were triggered in the city on Tuesday morning. The IDF reported that it intercepted several ground-to-ground missiles and drones launched from Yemen over the Red Sea. The IDF used the Arrow aerial defense system for the first time since the beginning of the conflict. No injuries were reported in Eilat."

STANDUP 3 (English): YANG YIRAN, Xinhua correspondent in Cairo
"On Tuesday, the Houthis in Yemen claimed that they had launched missile and drone attacks on Israel as a response to its military actions in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, they said that this was their third operation since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began. The Houthi rebels, which control Yemen's capital, had not previously commented on the attacks that the United States and Israel attributed to them until Tuesday's statement.
Also on Tuesday, WHO Spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said that Gaza was facing an imminent public health catastrophe due to the mass displacement, the overcrowding, and the damage to water and sanitation infrastructure. He noted that the humanitarian suffering in Gaza is as lethal as the Israeli bombardment."
