The Israeli military said it had called up an additional 60,000 reservists and extended the service of 20,000 "as part of the next phase" of Israel's military operation in Gaza.

The military called up tens of thousands of reservists as the government considered a ceasefire proposal to pause nearly two years of war.

The Israeli military said it carried out a strike in the area of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip on Monday and that the chief of the general staff had ordered an inquiry. Palestinian health officials said at least 20 people had been killed in the strike,
