Clashes have broken out between Israel and Hamas in two towns near the border, Hamas said, after the IDF announced it would expand ground operations in Gaza. Israel has intensified its airstrikes, while a blackout has left aid agencies unable to reach their teams on the ground.

Cutting communications in Gaza has allowed Israel to 'continue committing atrocities without the world being able to see what was going on', said the chair of the British Palestinian Committee.'Palestinians were slaughtered in the dark,' said Aimee Shalan, after bombing knocked out the territory's internet and communications.Little information is coming out of Gaza due to a blackout and Sky News cannot verify these claims.

'Ms Shalan added: 'The only thing that can prevent genocide from continuing in Gaza is for countries like the UK to stop providing weapons and other military support to Israel, to stop supporting the mass killing and collective punishment of Palestinians, and to push for a full and immediate ceasefire.'Israel has said it does not target civilians and has accused Hamas of operating among them to protect its fighters.
