The Israeli military says it mistakenly killed three hostages during its campaign in Gaza after misidentifying them as a "threat".

The IDF has named them as Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka and Alon Shamriz.

Earlier, Jerusalem was targeted by rockets for the first time since 30th October - though they were intercepted by the Iron Dome defence system.

The Israeli offensive has continued in Gaza - with residents reporting fighting in northern, central and southern Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israel says it will allow aid into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a move praised by the White House.

Hamas broke through Israel's heavily guarded perimeter on 7th October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages - some of whom were released during a brief truce.

The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, says more than 18,700 people have been killed and 50,000 injured in the enclave since the start of the Gaza war.
