The Israeli army has said it had captured Gaza’s parliament, the government building, the police headquarters and other government institutions run by Hamas in Gaza City, as its forces deepened their offensive in the Palestinian territory.

The fight in Gaza has also spurred violence on other fronts, AFP reports.

In the occupied West Bank, eight Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli troops — seven during an army raid on the northern city of Tulkarem and one near the southern city of Hebron — the Palestinian health ministry said on Tuesday.

At least 180 Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed across the West Bank since October 7, according to officials on both sides.
