Israel's military is carrying out "intense bombings" near a number of hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip. 

“For more than an hour, intense bombings have been taking place around hospitals,” Salama Maarouf, head of the government’s media office in Gaza, told reporters. 

According to the Wafa news agency, Israeli bombardment on Sunday evening had killed and injured scores of Palestinians in the vicinity of Gaza City. 

The Palestinians communications and information ministry confirmed that Israel had cut all internet and communications for the third time since the war began.
