UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher on Tuesday said an Israeli plan aid distribution in the Gaza Strip was a "cynical sideshow, a deliberate distraction, a fig leaf for further violence and displacement" of Palestinians in the enclave.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is “no way” Israel will halt its war in Gaza, even if a deal is reached to release more hostages.

A Houthi missile struck Ben-Gurion airport Sunday for the first time since the war began, briefly closing it just as Israel voted to expand Gaza operations.

At least six people were killed and 40 wounded, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, which did not name Muhammad Sinwar as one of the dead.

International aid agencies warn that plans presented by Israel to control aid distribution in Gaza will only increase suffering and death in the devastated Palestinian territory.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk has warned about Israel's plan to expand its military offensive against Hamas, annex territory in Gaza and forcibly displace its population.

Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday killed 15 people in the Gaza Strip, mostly women and children.

Israel's total siege of Gaza is entering its third month. Doctors and aid workers said they are seeing malnourished children and hospitals running low on supplies.
