At least 11 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, according to hospital sources cited by Al Jazeera, as political turmoil deepens for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The network’s correspondents on the ground reported that Israeli air raids, artillery shelling, and drone strikes struck several areas, including Shujayea, Jabalia, and the Shati refugee camp, one of Gaza’s most densely populated zones.
Five members of the same family were killed in Shati, and dozens more were wounded.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said Israeli forces had issued evacuation orders to residents in eastern Gaza City, urging them to move west. But the western areas, where most displaced Palestinians are already sheltering, also came under attack.
"Wherever they go, they are still being attacked," Khoudary reported. Food shortages were also noted, with displaced families unable to access basic supplies amid continuous threats of relocation.
Political pressure mounts on Netanyahu as Israeli soldiers killed
The Israeli military said three soldiers were killed and another wounded during fighting in northern Gaza on Monday.
The deaths have renewed domestic pressure on Netanyahu, who has vowed to continue the war until achieving what he calls “absolute victory.”
However, those remarks have been met with growing opposition from families of hostages and dead soldiers, who argue a ceasefire is necessary to prevent further loss of life.
Netanyahu's governing coalition is also under strain. Members of the far-right have threatened to withdraw and topple the government if a ceasefire deal is signed.
Adding to the crisis, an ultra-Orthodox faction in Netanyahu’s coalition submitted its resignation Monday over internal disputes related to Israel’s military conscription law.
The country’s attorney general has criticised the government for failing to enforce penalties for draft evasion. The ultra-Orthodox parties have reportedly given Netanyahu 48 hours to address their demands or face the collapse of his coalition.
International summit in Bogotá seeks end to war on Gaza
Meanwhile, more than 30 countries are meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, for a summit focused on legal and diplomatic actions to end the war on Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
The event is co-chaired by Colombia and South Africa and convened by The Hague Group, organisers said the summit was launched in response to “escalating violations of international law in Palestine, including the crime of genocide.”
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, is expected to address the media later today.

“Finally in Bogotá, alongside states that commit to ending the massacre in Gaza, without rhetoric, bringing politics back within the limits of international law,” Albanese wrote on X.
Israel's war on Gaza
Israel has carried out a devastating military campaign in Gaza since late October 2023, killing nearly 58,400 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children.
The relentless bombardment has levelled much of the besieged enclave, creating severe food shortages, collapsing health infrastructure, and fuelling the spread of disease.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
