STORYLINE:
Several flares and strikes lit up the night sky over the Gaza Strip on Friday evening.

Israel has been continuing its offensive against Hamas militants in northern Gaza amid an internet and telephone services blackout in the besieged enclave because of a lack of fuel.

Its troops have been searching the territory’s biggest hospital, Shifa, for traces of a Hamas command center Israel alleges was located under the building — a claim Hamas and the hospital staff deny.

Israel vowed to wipe out Hamas after the militant group launched its Oct. 7 incursion.

At least 11,470 Palestinians — two-thirds of them women and minors — have been killed since the war began, according to Palestinian health authorities, who do not differentiate between civilian and militant deaths. About 2,700 people are reported missing.

Some 1,200 people have been killed in Israel, mostly during the initial attack, and around 240 were taken captive by militants.
