The Jordanian army has accused Israel of a "flagrant breach of international law" after its field hospital in southern Gaza's Khan Younis was badly damaged by Israeli shelling overnight.
A Palestinian taking shelter with his family in hospital described a night of terror and chaos, as Israeli jets and tanks pummelled areas nearby.
"It was very cold and the bombing was terrifying," Mohammad Rami, a father of three, told Middle East Eye. "Some went to schools but many spent the night on the streets."
Two Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, bringing the death toll among Israeli forces to over 600 since 7 October.
