ISRAELI TANKS PUSH DEEPER INTO GAZA, AS BIDEN URGES PEACE

 * Summary

 * Biden urges peace as new truce efforts ended with no agreement
 * Palestinians say Israeli strikes killed 27 in Gaza
 * Gaza hospital says switching to life-saving services as fuel runs out

CAIRO, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Israeli forces pressed deeper into areas of the
central and southern Gaza Strip as they battled Hamas fighters, while
Palestinian health officials said on Thursday that Israeli strikes had killed at
least 27 people across the enclave.
The new escalation comes hours after U.S. President Joe Biden pressed Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the urgency of sealing a deal for a truce
in Gaza and the release of hostages, the White House said.

Months of on-off talks on a ceasefire have circled the same issues, but Israel
and Hamas have stuck firmly to their demands.
In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, a strike on a house killed 11 people,
including children and women, the bodies of some of whom had been burnt,
according to the Hamas-run territory's Civil Emergency Service.
Medics said another strike killed six people, including a local journalist, in a
house in Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip, medics said while five
others were killed in separate strikes in the south.

Later on Thursday, five Palestinians were killed and several wounded in an
Israeli airstrike that hit people near a square in Khan Younis, health officials
said.
The Israeli military said its forces had intensified their operations in Deir
Al-Balah, in central Gaza, and Khan Younis, in the south, dismantling dozens of
military structures, locating rockets, and killing militants, over the past 24
hours.

It said forces killed 50 militants in the area of Rafah, in the far south of the
enclave, over the past day.
The armed wing of Hamas said fighters ambushed an Israeli force in Rafah,
killing and wounding several of them.
A phone call between Biden and Netanyahu late on Wednesday followed a whirlwind
trip to the region by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that ended on
Tuesday without producing a breakthrough in the 10-month-old war.

Hamas wants a deal that ends the war in Gaza and releases Israeli and foreign
hostages in Gaza in return for the freedom of many Palestinians jailed by
Israel. It blames Israel and the United States for the failure to conclude a
deal.
Netanyahu says the war will only end once Hamas is defeated, and that a
ceasefire to allow the exchange of hostages and prisoners would be only a
temporary pause while the militant group remains a threat. He denies obstructing
a deal.



TANKS AND DRONES

In the central Gaza town of Deir Al-Balah, which houses around 1 million
residents and displaced Palestinians, according to the municipal council,
residents said tanks advanced further from the east and blocked some roads
connecting the city with the nearby Khan Younis in the south.
Israeli tanks have also advanced to the west, in Al-Karara and Hamad areas of
Khan Younis, pushing more families out of their shelters and tents, sometimes
under heavy fire from tanks and drones, residents said.
Some families slept on the roads, others on the beach after they failed to find
space or shelter.
"Last night drones began firing towards the tents, we ducked down, for maybe
hours, then the noise of tanks got louder as they advanced closer, so we decided
to run," Imad Al-Ghalayeeni, 48, told Reuters by phone from Khan Younis.
"We are five families, 48 persons, we ran to the beach, some slept on the road,
others slept onshore, just on the sand with no tents, no blankets or mattresses
and you can imagine how terrified were the children and women," he added.
Ghalayeeni said there was growing disillusionment among Palestinians in Gaza
about the ceasefire talks.
"These talks are time-wasting, and they aim to give Netanyahu the time he needs
to continue what he is doing. There is no place the tanks didn't enter, or bomb,
and there is nowhere safe anymore," he said.
Most of Gaza's 2.3 million population has been displaced multiple times since
the start of the war. Even in areas designated safe zones, there have been
regular reports of casualties from Israeli strikes.
In a hospital in the northern Gaza camp of Jabalia, health officials said they
were forced to suspend several services in the facility, except for lifesaving
treatment, after they ran out of fuel.
Israel's military campaign has killed more than 40,000 people in Gaza since
October, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The war began on Oct. 7 when Hamas gunmen stormed into Israeli communities and
military bases, killing around 1,200 people and abducting about 250 hostages,
according to Israeli tallies.
