Israel’s military operations in Gaza continue to escalate, with recent reports indicating a tragic toll. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 25 people have been killed and 50 wounded in an Israeli attack on tents housing displaced individuals in Mawasi. Among the casualties are children, who are being transported to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for treatment.

The situation has intensified as Israeli tanks advance further into western Rafah, firing shells at the displaced people’s tents. In a significant incident, an Israeli armored vehicle was destroyed by an improvised explosive device planted by Hamas.

Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and its international allies, particularly the United States, have heightened. The White House expressed disappointment over Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of the temporary suspension of a US weapons delivery to Israel, describing it as “vexing” and exacerbating the public rift between the two allies.

Over the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have conducted airstrikes across Gaza, including a devastating strike on a residential home in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, resulting in the deaths of eight people.

In response to the ongoing conflict, United Nations experts have cautioned arms manufacturers against supplying weapons to Israel, citing concerns about potential complicity in violations of international law in Gaza.Since October 7, the toll of the conflict has been severe, with at least 37,431 fatalities and 85,653 injuries reported on the Palestinian side due to Israel’s military actions. Conversely, Hamas-led attacks have claimed the lives of 1,139 individuals in Israel, with several civilians still held captive in Gaza.
