Israeli troops continue their assault on southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, with the Israel-Hamas war now in its tenth week.

There are reports of house-to-house fighting in the city; most of the population has fled to coastal areas or further south to Rafah.

On Friday night, the US blocked a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

The UN chief said Gaza was at breaking point - but the US called the resolution "imbalanced" and unrealistic, though urged Israel to do more to protect civilians.

Also on Friday, Israel said two soldiers had been severely wounded in a failed attempt to rescue a hostage seized by Hamas.

Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages, some of whom were released during a short-lived truce.

Hamas officials in Gaza say Israel has killed more than 17,177 people in its retaliatory campaign, including about 7,000 children.
