Israeli airstrikes overnight across Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 14 Palestinians, including displaced individuals who were taking shelter in tents in the southern part of the strip, as the conflict shows no signs of slowing down.
Israeli news outlets report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have instructed the military to deliver a full operational plan within 48 hours to stop Hamas from intercepting humanitarian aid. Channel 12 News revealed that the Israeli army has already paused all aid deliveries, and the suspension is likely to remain in effect until the plan is ready.

In a surprising twist, Iran’s Quds Force commander, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, made a public appearance in Tehran during a celebration—contradicting Israeli claims that he had been assassinated in a recent strike. His presence has cast doubt on the reliability of Israel’s reported success in targeting Iranian leadership.
Meanwhile, violence continues to escalate in the occupied West Bank. In the town of Taybeh, located east of Ramallah, Israeli settlers allegedly set fire to Palestinian homes and vehicles. The attack followed the killing of three Palestinians in Kafr Malek just a day earlier.
Adding to the political turbulence, former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly called for the termination of Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial. Referring to it as a “witch hunt,” Trump drew parallels to the legal challenges he faces in the U.S., labeling the Israeli trial as politically driven.
As the violence worsens and humanitarian efforts are stalled, global attention intensifies on the rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza and the West Bank.
