"Israel's Aggressive Actions Escalate in Gaza with US Backing"

Israeli forces continue their offensive in Gaza, raiding hospitals and launching airstrikes that have killed at least 28 Palestinians. The United States, after meeting with Israeli officials, signals continued support for Israel despite international calls for a cease-fire. The war, which began in response to Hamas' attack into Israel, has resulted in the deaths of nearly 20,000 Palestinians, displacement of 1.9 million people, and attacks on U.S. and Israeli targets. Major shipping companies have suspended trade through the Red Sea due to attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels, prompting a new mission by the U.S. and its allies. The United Nations Security Council is set to hold another vote on a cease-fire resolution, while Hamas continues to resist and launch rockets at Israel.
