Gaza health officials reported the highest daily death toll so far this year on Monday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken toured Arab states before heading for Israel to try to prevent the conflict growing into a wider conflagration.
- Daily reported death toll of 247 is highest this year
- Relative says children die as another hospital closes down
- Israel steps up strikes on Iran-linked targets in Syria
- Blinken discusses Gaza with EU's Borrell in Saudi Arabia
Hamas is responsible for all of this.
