TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended his plan to take control of key areas in the Gaza Strip. He stated that Israel would quickly evacuate and then seize Gaza City. However, doctors and journalists reported late on Sunday that an Israeli strike targeted and killed six journalists, including two Al Jazeera correspondents.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with 60,000 Gazans having been killed, including 18,500 children. The names of the victims have been documented.
There is ongoing uncertainty about the fate of several hostages believed to be still alive in Gaza, but no further details are available at this time.
