Evening recap: Israel bombs vicinity of Al-Quds Hospital, at least 33 massacres carried out during internet outage

Good evening Middle East Eye readers.

Today marks the 23rd day of war, which started on 7 October.

The death toll in Gaza has reached over 8,000, however actual numbers are expected to be higher as many remain missing and trapped under the rubble.

Internet communication returning to the besieged enclave after a near-total two-day blackout has also revealed atrocities in the form of continued bombing of residential areas.

The death toll in the occupied West Bank has reached 114 since the start of the war, with over 30 Israel-based rights groups saying that settlers are "exploiting the lack of media attention" to expel Palestinians from their homes and attack them.

Here are some of the key developments from today.

- Israel has continued to issue bomb threats for the Al-Quds Hospital, where 14,000 Palestinians are sheltering. Intense bombing has struck the vicinity of the hospital, causing partial damage and leaving many to suffer from smoke inhalation.

- Israel's military has reiterated its orders for residents to leave northern Gaza, saying the order is now "urgent".

- A spokesperson for the Ministry of Information in Gaza said Israel carried out "at least 33 massacres" since the near-total communications blackout imposed by Israel on Friday.

- Pro-Palestine rallies took place around the world on Sunday, including in Morocco, Lebanon and Spain.

- Impeding relief supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip could constitute a crime, the International Criminal Court's top prosecutor Karim Khan said on Sunday.

- A Reporters Without Borders investigation concluded that Israel deliberately targeted journalists, including in the killing of Issam Abdallah, a reporter in Lebanon.
