Two more Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip, Israel's military said on Sunday.

The military said that 121 soldiers have died since Israel launched its ground offensive in Gaza on Oct. 27.

Israel pressed ahead with its offensive on Sunday.

Gaza remained under a communications blackout for a fourth straight day — the longest of several outages over the course of the war, which aid groups say complicate rescue efforts after bombings and make it even more difficult to monitor the war's toll on civilians.

Arab League Secretary General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit strongly condemned Israel's decision to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from operating in Israel and the occupied territories, the Saudi Press Agency said on Tuesday.
Aboul Gheit stated that the decision represents a judgment that "will confiscate the future of millions of Palestinians." He emphasized that this move is part of a long-term strategy by Israel to undermine the agency's role, tarnish UNRWA's international reputation, and cut off its funding sources.
UNRWA offers essential educational and health services to more than 5.5 million Palestinian refugees, ensuring their access to vital support and resources.
He emphasized that the decision sets a dangerous international precedent, noting that UNRWA was established by a UN resolution in 1949, making the UN General Assembly responsible for its operations.
Aboul Gheit specifically urged the Security Council's member states to address this grave decision, emphasizing that the humanitarian efforts in Gaza will be rendered entirely inoperable if UNRWA's activities are prohibited or its role is ignored.
