Seven hurt in Tel Aviv attack as Israel's raid on Jenin continues
A charity worker in Jenin now says Israeli forces have fired tear gas inside the Khalil Suleiman hospital which she claims is now unusable.
Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) shared a statement from its local operations coordinator, Jovana Arsenijevicin, in which she says that the emergency room was filled with smoke.
She said 125 patients had been treated there so far.
The BBC is not able to independently verify MSF's claim, but earlier, one of our cameramen caught these scenes outside the hospital:

Attackers break Russian journalist’s fingers and stab human rights lawyer in Chechnya
Elena Milashina and Alexander Nemov were on their way to the sentencing of a human rights activist in Grozny when they were assaulted
Assailants have carried out a brutal attack on a human rights lawyer and a prominent Russian journalist in Chechnya, leaving them with stab wounds, broken fingers and head wounds.
The brazen assault on journalist Elena Milashina and lawyer Alexander Nemov in Grozny, Chechnya’s capital, was the most vicious in recent memory, leading even to a rare rebuke from the Kremlin which called it a “very serious attack that requires rather energetic measures”. Similar attacks in Chechnya, however, have gone unpunished for years.
Photographs showed Milashina after the attack in a hospital bed with both hands bandaged in gauze and her head and face covered in a green dye called zelyonka that was thrown on her during the attack. A video showed her nearly losing consciousness as she stumbled through the hospital, and then yelling in pain.
Japan: IAEA approves Fukushima water release plan
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi presented a review of Tokyo's plans to release treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The report concluded that the plan meets international safety standards.
Japan on Tuesday received approval from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for a plan to release treated radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean.
Neighboring countries have raised concerns over the contentious plan, with Beijing being its most vocal critic. Local fishing unions have also voiced their opposition to the project.
What the IAEA said about the Fukushima water release plan
IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi, who reached Japan on Tuesday for a four-day trip, met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to submit the nuclear watchdog's final report on the water release.
Hong Kong states pro-democracy activists who fled abroad will be 'pursued for life'
Hong Kong’s leader said Tuesday that eight pro-democracy activists who now live in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia will be pursued for life for alleged national security offenses, dismissing criticism that the move to have them arrested was a dangerous precedent.
Chief Executive John Lee expressed his support for the police efforts to arrest the eight. At his weekly media briefing, Lee said anyone, including their friends and relatives, who offered information leading to their arrests would be eligible for the bounties offered by the police.
“The only way to end their destiny of being an abscondee who will be pursued for life is to surrender,” he said.
The arrest warrants were issued for former pro-democracy lawmakers Nathan Law, Ted Hui and Dennis Kwok, lawyer Kevin Yam, unionist Mung Siu-tat and activists Finn Lau, Anna Kwok and Elmer Yuen. They were accused of breaching the Beijing-imposed national security law by committing offenses such as collusion with foreign powers and inciting secession.
‘How many Nahels didn’t get filmed?’: Voices from the banlieues
Al Jazeera speaks to people in Paris and the banlieues, or suburbs, about alleged police brutality and the latest riots.
One week after the police killing of a 17-year-old in a Paris suburb, an incident that was filmed and went viral on social media, a sense of anger is still palpable.
Unrest across French cities that followed the fatal shooting of Nahel M, the teenaged victim of North African descent, has led to the arrests of about 4,000 people as rage-filled scenes from the protests gripped the world.
Police have been clashing with angry rioters, most of whom are teenagers from low-income French suburbs, like Nahel M. Vandals have damaged and destroyed cars, town halls, public transport and shops. On one night, rioters rammed a burning car into the home of a Paris mayor.
Putin reassures pro-Russian world leaders his grip on power remains strong
Vladimir Putin sought to project an image of strength in front of a virtual gathering of Moscow-friendly leaders on Tuesday, in what was the Russian leader’s first appearance on the world stage since he faced an armed insurrection late last month.
The comments, made during an address to leaders attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came days after Putin diffused the rebellion launched by the Wagner mercenary group.
The events were widely seen as the most significant threat to power the autocrat had faced, and left Putin’s partners and rivals alike wondering how tightly in control he really was, more than one year into his floundering invasion of Ukraine.
