Israel-Hamas War Live Updates: As per reports, at least 100 people have been taken hostage by Hamas

Israel said it recaptured Gaza border areas from the Hamas group as the war's death count passed 3,000 today, the fourth day of fierce fighting since the surprise attack. Israel said the bodies of 1,500 Hamas members were found in southern towns recaptured by the army near the Palestinian enclave.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Israel's military campaign following Saturday's onslaught was only the start of a sustained war to destroy Hamas and "change the Middle East".

The United Nations today said that nearly 2,00,000 people or nearly a tenth of the population, have fled their homes in Gaza since the start of the war between Israel and the Hamas group, and are poised for shortages of water and electricity due to a blockade.

"Displacement has escalated dramatically across the Gaza strip, reaching more than 1,87,500 people since Saturday. Most are taking shelter in schools," Jens Laerke, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs spokesperson, told a Geneva briefing, saying further displacement was expected as clashes continue.

Here are the live updates on the Israel-Hamas war:
