Israeli air attacks in Gaza have resulted in the highest 24-hour death toll since the conflict began, with at least 704 people killed. Hospitals in Gaza are at risk of shutting down due to a lack of fuel, and the Palestinian Health Ministry is urging immediate assistance. Israel's military has launched strikes in Syria in response to firing from the country, resulting in the death of eight Syrian soldiers. Credit rating agencies have downgraded Israel's rating outlook due to the war risks. The human impact of the conflict continues to rise, with over 5,791 people killed in Gaza since October 7.
