Qatar, which has been mediating in negotiations for a cease-fire in the Gaza war, has said it has suspended its role as a mediator.

However, if the parties show a serious willingness to negotiate, they will resume mediation efforts.

Israel, the party involved, continued its airstrikes, saying it would wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah.

It was in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital where a bomb fell from an Israeli helicopter.

The residents, horrified by the sudden explosion, were in a panic.

Some run towards the bombed-out tent village.

It is the eighth Israeli air strike on the hospital in central Gaza since March.

Overnight, a refugee tent in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis was also bombed by Israeli forces, and a school used as a refugee shelter in Gaza City was also attacked.

It is known that the dead included a family member, including a local journalist brother and sister and a pregnant woman.

Israeli forces continued to attack pro-Iranian militant Hezbollah.

Air strikes continued throughout the night in the southern port city of Tyre and the capital Beirut, causing devastation and a number of victims.

In the meantime, Qatar, which has been mediating with the U.S. and Egypt in negotiations for a cease-fire in the Gaza war, said it has suspended its role as a mediator.

However, both Israel and Hamas, the parties involved, said they would resume mediation if they showed a serious willingness to negotiate, but denied media reports that they would quit at all.

Qatar also pointed out that reports of calls for the withdrawal of Hamas' political office in the capital Doha were also untrue.

"The main purpose of Qatar's office is a communication window between the parties, which contributed to achieving a temporary ceasefire at the previous stage," he explained.

Earlier, CNN and others said Qatar agreed to expel Hamas from Qatar at the request of the United States, an attempt to pressure Hamas leaders in Doha to reach a deal.
