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.
Over 2 dozen suspected militants arrested in West Bank: Israeli officials
Amid operations in the West Bank, Israeli officials said they have arrested 28 suspected militants overnight in the territory.
Meanwhile, funerals are being held Tuesday for several people reportedly killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank during the ongoing operations.
Since Oct. 7, 163 people have been killed and another 2,100 injured in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
'Thousands' leave northern Gaza as civilian corridor opens, Israel says
Israeli officials again opened on Tuesday a corridor for civilian evacuations from northern Gaza into the south, the Israel Defense Forces said, marking the second day the IDF has appealed to Gaza residents to use the corridor.
An IDF spokesperson posted to social media in Arabic, saying the southbound evacuation corridor on the major Gaza street of Salah-El-Deen was expected to be open between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time.
"Thousands" of people were passing through the corridor midday on Tuesday, Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories said in another a statement posted to social media.
Israeli officials released a short video Tuesday showing a line of people moving along a street, which they said was filmed earlier in the day.
Some of the people in the footage appeared to be waving white flags as they walked. A tank stood in the foreground and a row of partially destroyed buildings lined the road behind them.

Moment of silence in Israel marks month since Hamas attack
Members of the Israeli public paused on Tuesday to mark a month since Hamas' surprise attack on Oct. 7, during which more than 1,400 people were killed, according to Israeli officials.
Staffers at the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs gathered for a moment of silence "in memory of the 1,400 Israelis who were murdered on that dreadful day and with the hope of seeing our 240 kidnapped civilians in Gaza back home safe and sound," Yossi Zilberman, the ministry's deputy spokesperson, said on social media.

Netanyahu to ABC's Muir: 'No cease-fire' without release of hostages
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again rejected the idea of a cease-fire in Gaza unless hostages are released, speaking in an exclusive interview with ABC News "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir.
President Joe Biden and top administration officials have been pressuring Israel for temporary "humanitarian" pauses in the fighting so more aid can enter Gaza and more civilians can escape the fighting in the Palestinian territory.
Biden and Netanyahu discussed the matter as recently as Monday, according to the White House, though no apparent agreement was reached.
In the interview, Muir pressed Netanyahu on the Biden administration's calls for humanitarian pauses in Gaza as the civilian death toll climbs; efforts to release the hostages; whether Netanyahu bears responsibility for the intelligence failures; who governs Gaza when the war is over, and more.
"What they're proposing is a humanitarian pause, there will be no pause?" Muir asked Netanyahu.
"Well, there'll be no cease-fire, general cease-fire, in Gaza without the release of our hostages," Netanyahu responded. "As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there. We've had them before, I suppose, will check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in, or our hostages, individual hostages to leave. But I don't think there's going to be a general cease-fire."
An extended version of the interview, Netanyahu's first with U.S. media since the war began on Oct. 7, will air Monday on ABC News "World News Tonight" at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Blinken meets with Iraqi prime minister
Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Iraq to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on Sunday following the secretary's visits to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank.
Blinken told reporters that his meeting with the Iraqi prime minister was productive and said he emphasized the need to prevent spillover from the conflict in Gaza.
"I made very clear that the attacks, the threats coming from militia that are aligned with Iran are totally unacceptable," Blinken said. "We're not looking for conflict with Iran. We've made that very clear. But we'll do what's necessary to protect our personnel."
"We're working very hard to make sure that the conflict in Gaza does not escalate, does not spread to other places, whether it's here, whether it's elsewhere in the region," he said.
Blinken was asked about Arab leaders' instance that nothing short of a total cease-fire would be acceptable.
"I think everyone would welcome humanitarian pauses -- there's no doubt about that," Blinken responded.
He said pauses "advance things that we're all trying to accomplish," including getting more humanitarian aid into Gaza, getting people out of Gaza and getting hostages home.
On his meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Blinken said the PA was "playing a very important role right now in the West Bank in trying to keep stability there."
