Ceasefire talks resume as Rafah under fire
Negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza have resumed in Cairo, Egyptian media say. Senior officials from the US, Israel, Egypt and Qatar are meeting as Israel faces strong international pressure to stop its bombardment of the southern Gaza city of Rafah. About 1.5 million people are crammed into this small border town, amid fears of an Israeli ground offensive. Israel's PM rejected as "delusional" ceasefire proposals by Hamas last week. Benjamin Netanyahu said "total victory" was possible in Gaza within months. He later ordered Israeli troops to prepare to expand their ground operation, and vowed to defeat Hamas gunmen hiding in Rafah. But UN human rights chief Volker Türk said any assault on the city would be "terrifying" and many civilians "will likely be killed". US President Joe Biden has called for civilians in the area to be protected. Rafah has come under heavy Israeli air strikes in recent days, with deaths and injuries reported. The discussions in Cairo are continuing despite Israel's rejection of Hamas's terms. Mr Netanyahu has sent his intelligence chief, David Barnea, to the talks to try to make further progress - Israeli media said he did so under American pressure. He is joined by the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency William Burns, Egyptian intelligence officials and Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. There is a framework for a temporary truce on the table, involving releasing Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a period of calm. Qatar and Egypt, with US support, have been going back and forth between Israel and Hamas to try to broker a deal. Israel says 130 hostages are still unaccounted for out of the 253 taken by Hamas-led gunmen during the 7 October attacks on southern Israel. A number of hostages have been released - including most recently two male Israeli-Argentines - but some have died. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68284819

The Israeli military says it is carrying out a "precise and limited mission" in Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
The Israel Defense Forces says it has "credible intelligence", including from released hostages, that Hamas held hostages at the hospital in southern Gaza. It adds that it has apprehended a number of suspects, after earlier claiming that "terrorists appear to have been operating from within the hospital". Hamas has dismissed Israel's claims as "lies" The IDF adds that it contacted the director of the hospital on Tuesday calling for the immediate end of "all Hamas terrorist activity" within the facility. Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says Israel forced people to leave, as well as using a bulldozer to demolish a wall and turn the hospital into a barracks. Footage shows medical staff working under gunfire, with Nasser hospital sources telling the BBC one patient has been killed. Israel ordered civilians sheltering at the hospital to leave on Wednesday. Doctors at the hospital say a number of people have been killed by Israeli sniper fire there in recent days.

Special forces entered the hospital and began what Israel describes as a "precise and limited mission"
The IDF says the aim is to find and return bodies of hostages it believes are hidden inside the medical complex. This information, the IDF says, is based on its own “credible evidence” Chaotic scenes are being reported from inside and around the hospital, where many displaced people are said to be sheltering. Hamas rejects the IDF’s accusations, saying claims about hostages being held inside Nasser are "lies" Intensive care patients are reportedly in “grave danger”, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. But the IDF says "there is no obligation for patients or staff to evacuate" This morning’s raid comes amid warnings from heads of aid agencies, who made impassioned appeals to UN member states to do their utmost to prevent an Israeli ground operation in Rafah, the border city 7km (4.5 miles) from Nasser. There are estimated to be more than 1.4 million people sheltering inside Rafah - prior to the 7 October attack it held a population of 250,000
