Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, conveyed this grievous information through a statement released on Tuesday.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas was initiated on October 7 when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, involving the firing of thousands of rockets and the infiltration of Israeli territory.

However, the third debate will not feature North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who met the criteria for the prior two debates, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, present in the initial debate but absent from the second one. In addition, former Vice President Mike Pence, who initially qualified for the first two debates, exited the Republican primary race last month.

Furthermore, the IDF revealed that the airstrike that resulted in Asafa's death occurred on Sunday. This operation was carried out based on credible intelligence provided by the Shin Bet internal security service and the military.

When questioned about potential temporary "humanitarian" pauses in the conflict, as suggested by US President Joe Biden and top administration officials, Prime Minister Netanyahu clarified that a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza is contingent upon the release of all hostages. 

Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had taken refuge in a bunker, while his commanders were deployed to the front lines. 

The IDF claims to have eliminated ten senior commanders of the Palestinian militant group, which has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, during their latest military operations in the besieged region.

The draft resolution was crafted by the E-10, a group comprising ten non-permanent member states of the Security Council. However, during a private UNSC session on Monday, the United States and the United Kingdom, both permanent members with veto power, opposed the resolution.

Iran, Russia, and China have been reportedly utilizing both state media and social media platforms to diminish the standing of Israel and the United States while offering support to Hamas, as outlined in a recent media report.

On Sunday, the Israeli military announced that they had encircled Gaza City, effectively creating a division between the northern and southern parts of the enclave.
