Israel-Hamas War Live Updates: Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to "crush" Hamas

New Delhi:

At least 447 children and 248 women are among the 1,417 killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Health Ministry said today.

The ministry also said that 6,268 people have been injured since Saturday.

Earlier today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "crush" Hamas and urged the world to treat them the same way as the Islamic State group.

"Just as ISIS was crushed, so too will Hamas be crushed. And Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated," he said as he met visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Over 3,600 people have so far been killed in Israel and Gaza after the sudden Hamas strikes triggered a catastrophic war in the region.

Israel has also announced a complete siege of Gaza, effectively blocking electricity, food, and water supply.

The United Nations said that more than 3 lakh people have been forced to flee their homes in the Gaza Strip as heavy Israeli bombardments continue to hit the Palestinian enclave.

Here are the live updates on the Israel-Hamas war:
