Israel-Gaza live updates: 'Constructive meeting' with officials but 'gaps' remain, Israeli PM's office says

Israel alleged several UNRWA staff members were involved in the Oct. 7 attacks.

More than 100 days since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.

The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.

What we know about the conflict

The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, has passed the four-month mark.

In the Gaza Strip, at least 30,228 people have been killed and 71,377 others have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.

In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 395 people in the territory since Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The ongoing war began after Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented incursion into southern Israel from neighboring Gaza via land, sea and air. Scores of people were killed while more than 200 others were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. The Israeli military subsequently launched retaliatory airstrikes followed by a ground invasion of Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where more than 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by Israel and supported by Egypt since Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza, unlike Israel, has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.

Netanyahu says war to continue 'on all fronts,' rejects Hamas' 'terms of surrender'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will "continue the war on all fronts and in all sectors."

"We do not give immunity to any terrorist -- not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Syria and not anywhere," Netanyahu said in the statement Sunday, written in Hebrew.

The prime minster added, "Whoever tries to hurt us -- we hurt him."

Netanyahu said he's working to secure the return of all the hostages "around the clock," and added: "But to be clear: I reject outright the terms of surrender of the monsters of Hamas."

Netanyahu also said he had a conversation with President Joe Biden over the weekend, in which he emphasized "determination to complete all war objectives, and to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," according to the prime minister's statement.

"That is why I insist that after we achieve complete victory, after we eliminate Hamas -- there will be no factor in Gaza that finances terrorism, educator of terrorism or courier of terrorism," Netanyahu said.

"Gaza must be demilitarized, under full security control of the State of Israel," he said. "I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan."

Netanyahu added he will continue to "firmly" stand by his insistence to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state for as long as he is prime minister.

Woman recounts moment Israeli army penetrated Khan Younis camp: 'Afraid that our fate will be death'

Sahar Amer is married with two children, ages 2 and 4, and lives in a camp in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

"Since the beginning of the war, I have believed that this camp was safe -- a very densely populated area, and my relatives chose me as our home to seek refuge in to escape the bombing," Amer, 28, told ABC News.

"Everything has been difficult to obtain since the beginning of the war: food, water and treatment," Amer said. "But unfortunately, what happened a week ago changed everything. The area became unsafe due to the sudden entry of [Israeli] tanks behind Nasser Hospital, which is only several meters away from us."

"During the Israeli army’s incursion behind the hospital, we lived a very terrifying night due to intense artillery shelling," she said. "I could hear the sounds of bullets flying."

"Then the quadcopter planes started shooting at citizens. One time I was on the roof of the house with my children and we miraculously escaped death," Amer said.

"I did not expect the army to infiltrate in this way," she said, noting that her family "took refuge with us, believing that this area is safe and that the army cannot encircle the camp like this."

One night she headed home and said she found tanks "stationed west of the camp and surround[ing] the place."

"I felt very afraid that the tanks were approaching my house,” she said. “I was hugging my children.”

Amer wanted to leave her house, but couldn’t find a car. So she took her children and they fled on foot.

"When I approached the road, a tank appeared … and prevented us from passing through,” she said. "I returned home crying and afraid that our fate will be death like the residents of other areas. I sent a message to my mother and sister to pray for me to be saved."

"I went out with great difficulty the next day. I left my home crying. I do not want to be displaced -- I want to remain safe in my home." she said. "I hope the war will end -- there is enough death and destruction."
