Fighting is continuing in the Gaza Strip despite the first UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire passing on Monday
- The resolution, which also called for the release of all hostages, followed several failed attempts at similar measures since the 7 October attacks. The US abstained from the vote - allowing the motion to pass - leading Israel to cancel a meeting in Washington
- The Israeli Prime Minister's office said on Tuesday it Israel will not surrender to Hamas' "delusional" ceasefire demands
- In Gaza, witnesses say Israeli warplanes bombed the southern city of Rafah. Palestinian media report at least 18 people were killed in an air strike on a residential building.
- Elsewhere, fierce gun battles raged around hospitals in nearby Khan Younis and Gaza City
- Meanwhile talks between Israeli and Hamas representatives aimed at ending the fighting continue via mediators in Qatar.
