Three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera. The strike occurred as tensions escalated following Iran's top diplomat warning of a 'decisive response' to any US-Israeli 'aggression' (aljazeera.com). The attack marked another escalation in the ongoing conflict, with Israeli forces continuing their operations in the region.
Despite US-backed efforts to implement a Gaza ceasefire agreement, Israeli airstrikes continued, killing at least four Palestinians in central Gaza. The attacks took place despite President Donald Trump's announcement of a breakthrough in diplomatic talks, highlighting the ongoing challenges in achieving peace (nst.com.my). Meanwhile, the US and Israel had previously suspended plans for a military strike on Iran, citing hopes for a diplomatic resolution (dailypost.ng).
In another development, Israeli strikes killed at least eight Palestinians across Gaza, as the US-backed roadmap for Hamas disarmament and an Israeli withdrawal remained stalled. The violence continued despite international calls for restraint, with reports of civilian casualties and displacement (dawn.com). The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
