Israeli Military Actions Claim 49 Lives in Gaza, Renew Ceasefire Talks

Israeli military operations have intensified both in Gaza and the West Bank, resulting in significant Palestinian casualties and displacement. In Gaza, recent airstrikes killed nearly 49 people within 24 hours, while food shortages worsen due to the ongoing blockade, forcing hundreds of thousands to rely on depleted charity kitchens. Meanwhile, Arab mediators are working to revive stalled ceasefire talks, with Hamas sending a high-level delegate to Cairo. In the West Bank, military raids and settler violence have surged since the outbreak of war in Gaza, causing mass displacement, destruction of homes, and at least 182 child deaths. Rights groups accuse Israel of excessive force and tolerating or encouraging settler outposts that drive violence against Palestinians, while Palestinians report inadequate protection from the Israeli army. Israel claims it opposes settler violence and attributes it to a small extremist fringe, but Palestinians and rights groups view these actions as part of a broader attempt to expel them from their land.
