Gaza latest: Israel steps up strikes, hospitals 'suspend' operations | DW News

Operations at the biggest hospital in Gaza have been suspended because the facility has run out of fuel, according to the Hamas-run health authority. Hamas officials say Israeli air strikes hit Al-Shifa hospital.
Despite international calls to stop the bombardment, Israel is stepping up its actions in Gaza. Israeli troops are pushing deeper into urban areas in northern Gaza, as more airstrikes pound the region. Israel has also hit sites in southern Lebanon in the worst escalation along the border in nearly two decades. Its main target is the Hezbollah armed group, an ally of Hamas.
Arab leaders are gathering in Saudi Arabia for an emergency summit on Gaza. Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas has arrived in Riyadh for the talks. As the war reaches its fifth week, Arab nations are expected to issue a joint call for an end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza. The leaders of Syria and Iran are among those also attending.
Activists in the UK have blockaded a British military equipment manufacturer, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to arms sales to Israel. The BAE Systems factory doesn't directly export equipment to Israel, but supplies parts for US-made fighter jets flown by the Israeli military.
