Protesters in Israel are attempting to prevent humanitarian aid from entering into Gaza as they demand the immediate release of the more than 100 hostages that have been held captive by Hamas since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.Dozens of demonstrators gathered Wednesday at Israel's A...

More than 27,000 people have been killed and 66,000 wounded by Israel's offensive in Gaza, the Hamas-controlled territory's Health Ministry said Thursday.

The number of deaths has grown by more than 1,100 since the International Court of Justice in the Hague last week told Israel to do its best to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa's foreign minister accused Israel of ignoring that ruling by the United Nations' top court.

Israel denies the genocide accusations.

Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the military has almost completed its operations in the southern city of Khan Younis after inflicting heavy losses on Hamas and is poised to move farther south toward the Egyptian border.

The army has focused its offensive in recent weeks on Khan Younis, saying the city is a Hamas stronghold. It claims it killed at least 2,000 Hamas militants there and destroyed a number of important tunnels in the militant group's underground network.

Israel vowed to press ahead to Rafah, located on the border with Egypt. It remains unclear how Israel will operate in the area, which is filled with hundreds of thousands of displaced people living in makeshift tent camps.

U.S. sanctions

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden issued an executive order Thursday that targets Israeli settlers in the West Bank who are accused of attacking Palestinians and Israeli peace activists in the occupied territory, imposing financial sanctions and visa bans in an initial round against four individuals.

Those settlers were involved in acts of violence, as well as threats and attempts to destroy or seize Palestinian property, according to the order.

The penalties aim to block the four from using the U.S. financial system and bar American citizens from dealing with them. U.S. officials said they are evaluating whether to punish others involved in attacks that have intensified during the Israel-Hamas war.

Biden's order is a rare step against America's closest ally in the Mideast who, Biden says, has the right to defend itself. But the Democratic president has pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to show greater restraint in its military operations aimed at rooting out Hamas.

Palestinian authorities say some Palestinians have been killed, and rights groups say settlers torched cars and attacked several small Bedouin communities, forcing evacuations.

"This violence poses a grave threat to peace, security, and stability in the West Bank, Israel, and the Middle East region, and threatens the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.

Biden faces growing criticism for his administration's strong support of Israel as casualties mount in the conflict, which began when Hamas, the militant group that rules Gaza, attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The order notes that the violence by settlers undermines U.S. foreign policy objectives, "including the viability of a two-state solution and ensuring Israelis and Palestinians can attain equal measures of security, prosperity, and freedom."

Biden has reinvigorated calls for an independent Palestinian state that would exist alongside Israel, a goal that has eluded American presidents and Middle East diplomats for decades. Biden says finding a way to achieve Palestinian sovereignty once the Israel-Hamas war ends is essential to building a durable peace.

Netanyahu has rejected the idea throughout his political career and has told U.S. officials he remains opposed to any postwar plan that includes establishment of a Palestinian state.

The Israeli leader quickly denounced the sanctions.

"The vast majority of settlers," he said in a statement, "are law-abiding citizens, many of them these days are fighting as conscripts and reservists for the defense of Israel." He said his country "takes action against law-breakers in every place, and therefore there is no place for exceptional steps on this measure."

Also Thursday, Britain's Foreign Secretary David Cameron said his country could officially recognize a Palestinian state after a cease-fire in Gaza without waiting for the outcome of what could be yearslong talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.

However, Cameron said no recognition could come while Hamas remains in Gaza. He spoke during a visit to Lebanon intended to tamp down regional tensions as Israel's war in Gaza continues to spill over into neighboring countries.

Hostage situation

In Turkey, two gunmen took seven hostages at a factory owned by U.S. company Procter & Gamble on Thursday, according to media reports, apparently in protest against the war.

Turkish media published an image of one of the purported suspects inside the factory, a man wearing what appeared to be a rudimentary explosives belt and holding a handgun.

Private news agency DHA said the suspects entered the main building of the facility in Gebze in the province of Kocaeli, about 3 p.m. local time and took seven members of the staff hostage.

It claimed the suspects' actions were to highlight the loss of life in the Palestinian enclave.
