Event Summary

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people and wounded several others outside a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Palestine===Gaza Strip, with the total death toll for the day reaching at least 12. This incident, along with clashes between Palestinians and an Israeli-backed militia, further strains the fragile US-backed ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Hamas continues to resist relinquishing its weapons, a key component of Donald Trump's proposed peace plan, accusing Israel of continuing a 'genocide.' The World Health Organization has suspended medical evacuations from Gaza after a contractor was killed in a security incident, underscoring the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Palestine===Gaza Strip, which has suffered extensive destruction and famine.
