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 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.

Another 92 aid trucks entered Gaza through the Egypt-Gaza Rafah borer crossing on Monday, a Rafah border crossing official told ABC News.
A total of 570 aid trucks -- with supplies including food, water and medicine -- have now entered Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day.
UAE to set up fully equipped field hospital in Gaza
The United Arab Emirates said it will set up a fully equipped field hospital in the Gaza Strip, state news agency WAM said on Monday.
The 150-bed hospital will be built in several stages and will encompass multiple departments, including general surgery and intensive care units.
329 foreign passport holders left Gaza Monday, border crossing official says
The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened on Monday allowing 329 foreign passport holders to leave Gaza, a Rafah border crossing official told ABC News. The border had been closed all weekend.
Twenty-nine Palestinians, including some critically injured and some cancer patients, as well as some of their relatives, also crossed from Gaza into Egypt Monday, the border crossing official said.
Out of the 29 Palestinians, eight people were critically injured and five people were their family members. Nine cancer patients and seven of their family members also crossed, the official said.
ICRC chief surgeon in Gaza: 'Relentless' stream of burn victims
Dr. Tom Potokar, the International Committee of the Red Cross' chief surgeon who is currently working in the European Gaza Hospital, detailed the challenges they are facing in a phone interview with ABC News Live on Friday.
Potokar, who specializes in burn treatments, said they have seen "many, many" burn cases, adding that the number of burn patients is "relentless" and "not slowing down at all." The patients with burn injuries have been all ages, with the youngest they've seen just 4 months old, he said.
"A lot of them have burns involving the face as well, and the limbs," Potokar said. "These could be quite deep burns, as I say, so will lead to significant scarring potentially in the future if they actually survive."
Potokar, who has been a war surgeon in Gaza before, said the damage is "far, far" worse and in a "completely different stratosphere from how I've ever come across it before."
He said the way they are treating burns is "not ideal" under the current circumstances due to limited medical supplies.
"The way we're treating burns is really stepping back 40, 50 years," he said.
