STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising into the sky above the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Tuesday as Israeli strikes continued.
An airstrike was heard near a market around midday local time as Gaza’s Health Ministry reported the Palestinian death toll from 22 months of war has passed 62,000.
It comes as Hamas said Monday it accepted a new proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip while Israel indicated its positions haven’t changed.
Hamas-led militants abducted 251 people and killed around 1,200, mostly civilians, in the attack that ignited the war. Around 20 of the hostages still in Gaza are believed by Israel to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the Palestinian death toll from the war had climbed to 62,004, with another 156,230 people wounded. It does not say how many were civilians or combatants, but says women and children make up around half the dead.
