"Israel's Deadliest Day: Netanyahu Vows Retribution After 24 IDF Soldiers Killed in Gaza"

Hamas killed 21 Israeli soldiers in an attack in central Gaza, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to vow retribution and continue the war until "absolute victory." The attack poses a setback to cease-fire efforts, with heavy fighting continuing in and around the city of Khan Younis. International pressure and Israeli Knesset's urging for negotiations for another cease-fire have emerged, with Israel proposing a two-month cease-fire to free remaining hostages, which Hamas rejected.
