"Israeli Troops Launch Ground Offensive in Gaza City Amid Rising Tensions"

Israel launches assault on Gaza City, while U.S. considers response to killing of its troops in the Middle East. U.S. President Joe Biden orders retaliatory attacks on Iranian-backed groups, but stops short of attacking Iran directly. Renewed violence in Gaza makes a mockery of a World Court ruling calling on Israel to do more to help civilians. UNRWA warns it will have to end operations within a month if funding is not restored. Talks for a temporary ceasefire to release hostages held by Hamas and get more aid into Gaza are ongoing, but significant gaps remain.
