an American official, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the United States wants Tel Aviv to reach the intended stage of the war within the next few weeks and present its plan for the Gaza war. Pointing to the rising number of civilian casualties in the Gaza strikes, The New York Times reported that Washington wants Israel to adopt a more precise strategy, using commando forces to rescue hostages and limiting attacks on Hamas to prevent rising numbers casualties in Gaza. The newspaper also quoted Biden as saying he wanted Israel to be more careful in its operation in the Gaza Strip and focus on reducing civilian casualties. Politico also reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Washington has collected information that could assess whether Israel is following the rules of war in the Gaza Strip. The Economist also wrote in its report that Israel has no choice but to reduce the number of attacks as Tel Aviv's differences with the United States deepen. At the same time, the Palestinian Ministry of Education announced that since the start of the war against Gaza on October 7, 3,714 Palestinian students have been martyred, and another 5,700 students have been injured. In addition, the Gaza Ministry of Health stated that as a result of the Zionist regime's aggressions, 300 medical workers in the Gaza Strip were martyred and 102 ambulances were destroyed. To date, the occupiers have attacked 381 medical facilities and stopped the work of 22 hospitals and 52 medical centers.
