Middle East live updates: Israeli strikes kill 150 in Gaza as peace talks resume

Approximately 77 people were killed and 145 injured over the past 24 hours in Gaza, the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said Friday.

Israeli air forces struck "approximately 40 Hamas terrorist gathering points" throughout the Gaza Strip over the past day, the Israel Defense Forces said in a release Friday.

"Prior to the strike, numerous measures were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence," the release stated.

Agnes Callamard, the secretary general of Amnesty International, said on Thursday that the organization is "extremely alarmed" by the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya -- the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

"He should now be considered as victim of enforced disappeared and as such at great risk of torture and ill-treatment," Callamard wrote in a post to X. Israeli authorities "must urgently disclose" his location, she added.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to ABC News on Thursday that Abu Safiya was in the custody of Israeli authorities and is currently being interrogated "for suspected involvement in terrorist activities and for holding a rank in the Hamas terror organization."

The IDF has alleged that Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives were hiding inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. Abu Safiya was initially detained on Dec. 27 during an IDF raid on the medical facility, which has been besieged multiple times by Israeli forces.

The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that it intercepted one missile and one drone launched from Yemen, as Iran-aligned Houthi rebels there continue long-range attacks.

The incoming missile set off warning sirens, the IDF said, and was intercepted over Israeli territory. The IDF reported that shrapnel from the interception fell in the area of Modi'in in central Israel.

Some hours later, a drone was intercepted before reaching Israeli territory and thus did not set off any air alerts, the IDF said.

The Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks on Israel and on shipping in nearby waters until the IDF withdraws from Gaza.

Israel has launched several rounds of airstrikes on targets in Yemen in response to Houthi attacks.

In the most recent, Israel attacked Yemen's main airport -- and destroyed its control tower -- in the capital Sanaa. The bombs fell while the United Nations' coordinator for Yemen and the head of the World Health Organization were on site waiting to depart the airport.

The U.S. and U.K. -- supported by other allies -- began bombing Houthi targets in Yemen in January in response to attacks on regional commercial and military shipping.
