Israel has said its troops found Hamas weapons and combat gear in Al Shifa hospital during a search on Wednesday.

According to Reuters, Hamas dismissed the announcement as “lies”.

US President Joe Biden said he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he did not believe the escalation would end until a two-state solution was reached.

“I made it clear to Israel that I think it’s a big mistake to for them to occupy Gaza,” he said.
