Israeli forces conducted another ground raid in Gaza in advance of an expected invasion of the Hamas-ruled territory.

U.S. warplanes, meanwhile, struck targets in eastern Syria after attacks on U.S. forces by Iran-backed fighters, adding to regional tensions fuelled by the three-week-old Gaza war.

In addition, 229 people including foreigners, children and older adults were believed taken by Hamas during the incursion and remain in captivity in Gaza.

Four hostages were released earlier.
