Israeli Strikes in Gaza Escalate Amid Ceasefire Talks

 

In a tragic escalation of violence, Israeli strikes in the central Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of 24 people, including women and children. Hospital records confirm this devastating toll, underscoring the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The strikes occurred overnight into Tuesday, targeting residential homes.
