The Israeli army has launched air strikes across Gaza, killing at least 38 Palestinians, with 30 of the dead in the south. The attacks come after a day of intense focusing on the north of the enclave.
Humanitarian aid is dwindling due to Israel’s blockade, which has caused the World Food Programme (WFP) to gradually shut down its aid programmes. The UN has warned that Gaza’s humanitarian situation is deteriorating rapidly.
The military wing of Hamas reported that half of its living captives are in areas under Israeli forced evacuation orders and face extreme danger. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will “complete the victory” in Gaza soon and bring back all captives.
Meanwhile, the Houthis in Yemen have claimed another attack on the USS Harry Truman and promised to continue targeting US forces. In Belgium, there is little expectation that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested despite an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The situation has sparked international condemnation, with Palestinians describing the conflict as a genocide. Protests against Israel’s actions have taken place at universities across the United States, leading to visa revocation and travel restrictions for several individuals.
A recent air strike by the US has killed an entire family in Yemen, leaving destruction and devastation in its wake. The attack is part of a larger escalation in violence in the region, with tensions between Israel and Palestine continuing to rise.
