Israel Gaza live news: Israel says body of hostage found as communications go down in Gaza - BBC News
Israeli officials say troops found 65-year-old Yehudit Weiss's body near Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
It's coming up to 03:00 in Gaza and Israel, and 01:00 in London. On a live video feed being transmitted from Israel we can hear occasional, distant explosions from the direction of the Gaza Strip tonight. Let's look back at Thursday's key developments:

The body of 65-year-old Yehudit Weiss, who was abducted by Hamas during its attacks on 7 October, has been found by Israeli forces in a structure close to Gaza's largest hospital.

Yehudit Weiss was recovering from breast cancer when she was taken from kibbutz Be’eri, according to campaigners. Her husband, Shmuel, was killed by Hamas gunmen.

Israel is continuing its operation at Gaza's largest hospital, and this evening the military said it had found a tunnel shaft and a "booby-trapped vehicle" on the grounds of the site.

Earlier, the BBC heard from a journalist at the hospital who said:" Soldiers are everywhere, shooting in all directions." Before his phone line cut out, he told us armoured bulldozers had been brought in.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of housing a command-and-control centre in a tunnel network underneath the hospital. Hamas denies this.

The hospital's director warned of "tragic" conditions inside. He said the facility had run out of oxygen and water, with patients "screaming from thirst". Read more on this here.

In Gaza’s south, leaflets were dropped by Israeli forces over Khan Younis, warning people in four towns to evacuate their homes and head to shelters.

For most of the day mobile phone and internet services were down across the Gaza Strip because of a lack of fuel, according to Palestinian telecoms companies. We've written up the story here.

Fuel shortages are also causing significant problems for the delivery of aid throughout the Strip. The UN's Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa) has said that, from Friday, it will be unable to send trucks to pick up supplies for Gazans from the border with Egypt.

Israel said its security forces had killed three gunmen who opened fire at a checkpoint on a road leading into Jerusalem from the West Bank.

Israel says one of its soldiers was killed and others were wounded. Hamas's armed wing said it carried out the attack.

There are also reports of an Israeli raid in the West Bank city of Jenin tonight. We will bring you more on that as it comes in.
