Israel has continued its intensive bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip, with new airstrikes reported in several areas as fighting intensifies.
At the same time, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem, according to local reports and Palestinian health officials. The circumstances surrounding the killing remain under investigation, but eyewitnesses say Israeli security forces opened fire during a confrontation in the area.
The ongoing bombardment in Gaza has caused further destruction and casualties, deepening the humanitarian crisis as hospitals struggle with shortages of fuel, medicine, and essential supplies.
International calls for a ceasefire continue to grow, but diplomatic efforts have yet to produce a breakthrough.
