An Israeli air strike has hit al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in Gaza.

The strike hit a car in the yard of the hospital's complex, a health ministry spokesperson told Al Jazeera Arabic. The spokesperson added that the strike has caused a number of casualties, but the number is not clear at the moment.

Videos shared online showed a man with part of his leg torn off in the yard of the hospital.

1 Israeli prisoner killed, another injured in attack by Israel on Gaza Strip

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, announced the death of a female Israeli soldier and the wounding of a male soldier who had both been captured in attacks carried out by Israel on Thursday on the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on its Telegram account, it said 19-year-old female soldier Faul Azai Mark Asiani from the Jewish settlement of Modi’in died and the other soldier was moderately injured.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, indicating that they will later publish material documenting the authenticity of this statement, did not provide details on the matter.

There has been no statement from Israel so far on the matter.

Biden says 'no possibility' of cease-fire in Gaza

US President Joe Biden said Thursday there is "no possibility" of a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

"None. No possibility," Biden said in response to a question about the chances of a cease-fire as he was left the White House for a trip to the state of Illinois.

Asked if he has any update on getting hostages out, Biden said he is "still optimistic."

"We’re not going to stop until we get them out," he said when asked about his message to families of hostages.

The remarks came hours after National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby announced that Israel agreed to institute four-hour daily humanitarian pauses in northern parts of the besieged enclave.

The brief hiatuses will allow humanitarian assistance to be moved into the areas where they are implemented and will allow Palestinians "to get out of harm's way," according to Kirby.

According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, more than 10,000 civilians have been killed, including over 4,400 children, since Oct. 7 when the conflict began following a cross-border attack by Hamas that killed in excess of 1,400 in Israel.
