Gaza death toll surpasses 73,000 as violence escalates (aljazeera.com)
The death toll in Gaza has risen to 73,356 following intensified conflict, according to Al Jazeera. The increase comes after Iran's top diplomat warned of a "decisive response" to any US-Israeli "aggression."
Israeli strikes killed eight people overnight, according to The Journal.ie. The report also noted a man died after getting into difficulty in water at Castletownbere, though this incident appears unrelated to the broader conflict.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with reports of continued bombardment and humanitarian crisis. Iranian officials have escalated rhetoric, signaling potential further escalation.
The Journal.ie reported that Middle East allies are working toward an outline of a deal to end the Iran war, though details remain unclear. The conflict continues to claim lives, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
