Blinken makes unannounced visit to West Bank

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken brought his frenetic Mideast diplomatic push on the Israel-Hamas war to the occupied West Bank on Sunday, meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in his latest bid to ease civilian suffering in the Gaza Strip and begin to sketch out a post-conflict scenario for the territory. CBS News intelligence and national security reporter Olivia Gazis has more on Blinken's trip to the Middle East to try to contain the war.

The Israeli military said it freed a soldier held captive by Hamas militants and that it had killed one of the leaders of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls for a cease-fire as airstrikes landed near hospitals where thousands of Palestinians are sheltering beside the wounded.

Clashes in West Bank amid Israel-Hamas war

Palestinian officials say an Israeli drone strike on the West Bank killed three people and injured more than 20 others. That came after Israeli forces conducting a raid in the territory came under fire near the Jenin refugee camp. Meanwhile, another convoy of aid trucks entered Gaza Tuesday night from Egypt, but not included in the aid was much-needed fuel. The U.N. says it may be forced to halt operations in the enclave due to a lack of fuel. CBS News foreign correspondent Ian Lee has more.
