Foreign media reports that US President Joe Biden will visit Israel tomorrow (18) to inform about the war plans against Hamas militants.

The United States says that after President Joe Biden's visit to Israel, he will discuss how to carry out his operations in a way that minimizes civilian casualties.

Meanwhile, Hamas says it launched rocket attacks on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Also, UN aid chief Martin Griffiths says that the health system and hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which is under the control of Hamas, are collapsing.

Foreign media say that the Rafah border crossing from Egypt to the Gaza Strip has been hit by an air attack and the extent of the damage is not clear.

Number of people believed to be held hostage by Israeli forces in Gaza rises to 199.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says at least six Britons were among those killed in the first Hamas attack and 10 are missing.
