Live updates: Follow the latest on Israel-Gaza
Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in northern Gaza, the military said on Tuesday, in the army's biggest loss of life since Israel collapsed a ceasefire deal with Hamas in March.
Another two soldiers were injured when the group’s vehicle hit a roadside explosive device in the Jabalia area on Monday, according to an initial probe. The military found around 20 similar devices along the route, Israeli media reported.
The dead were named as Lior Steinberg, 20, Ofek Barhana, 20, and Omer Van Gelder, 22. The death toll of Israeli personnel in the Gaza war now stands at 423. At least 54,249 Palestinians have been killed and 123,492 wounded since the war began in October 2023.
The deaths of the soldiers highlight challenges the Israeli army faces in its campaign in the strip. Despite significantly weakening Hamas and other armed Palestinian factions in Gaza, Israeli troops continue to encounter deadly resistance.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement, sending “condolences from the depths of our hearts to the families of our fighters”.
There were widespread reports in Hebrew media in May that the Israeli army estimated Hamas to have around 40,000 fighters, roughly the same number as before the war broke out.
Israeli outlet Haaretz reported that the group still possesses thousands of short-range rockets, which continuously rained down on southern Israeli communities for months at the beginning of the war.
Haaretz also said a significant tunnel network remained in Gaza, which has been used to great effect by militants to hide hostages and move around the battlefield.
What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.

Five famous companies founded by teens
There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:
- Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
- Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
- Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
- Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
- Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.
