    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The US said late on Saturday it would send more air defence systems to the Middle East and prepare to move in more troops following attacks on its forces in Iraq and warnings from militants against intervening to support Israel against Hamas.

    Israel has amassed tanks and troops near the fenced border around Gaza for a planned ground invasion aiming to annihilate Hamas, after several inconclusive wars dating to its seizure of power there in 2007.

    Israel said the compound beneath al-Ansar mosque, in Jenin refugee camp, belonged to operatives from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who were planning an imminent attack.

    “Analysis conducted independently by the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command indicates with a high degree of confidence that Israel did not strike the Al-Ahli hospital on 17 October 2023,” it said in a statement.

    Drones and rockets targeted two military bases housing US forces in Iraq last week, the latest in a series of attacks after Iraqi militants warned Washington against intervening to support Israel against Hamas in Gaza.

    Washington has already sent a significant amount of naval power to the Middle East in recent weeks, including two aircraft carriers, their support ships and about 2,000 Marines.

    Gaza’s health ministry said on Saturday that Israel’s retaliatory attacks had killed at least 4,385 Palestinians, including hundreds of children, with more than a million of the territory’s 2.3 million people displaced. It comes after an attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants that killed 1,400 people, mainly civilians, in a shock rampage that has traumatised Israel.
