"West Bank Shooting Claims Two Israeli Lives Amid Israel-Hamas War Talks"

Two Israelis were shot and killed near a West Bank settlement, while the Israeli army fired into a Gaza crowd during food distribution, resulting in over 100 Gazans killed. The Gaza death toll has crossed 30,000 since the war began, prompting Hamas to threaten to stop hostage deal and cease-fire negotiations. The UN human rights head expressed horror at the unfolding situation in Gaza, while U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the expectation for allies to use U.S. munitions responsibly. Additionally, a temporary cease-fire could trigger talks to end hostilities along Lebanon's southern border with Israel.
