Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed that there will be no temporary ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza until all Israeli hostages are released.

Netanyahu gave a televised address after talks with the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who has called for humanitarian pauses in the fighting to help protect civilians.

It is reported that Israel has struck an ambulance in Gaza that was being used by Hamas operatives.

The Hamas-run health ministry says Israel had targeted a convoy of ambulances in two different places, including outside the Al-Shifa hospital.

Meanwhile, Israel's army earlier said that it was on "very, very high alert" at its border with Lebanon as the leader of the Islamist group Hezbollah broke his silence on the war.

In a speech watched by thousands at a Beirut rally, Hassan Nasrallah praised the Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October, but said they were "100 per cent Palestinian".

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 9,000 people have been killed in the Strip since the 7th of October.

Israel began bombing Gaza after Hamas killed more than 1,400 people in Israel and kidnapped more than 200 others.
