Deadly Gaza week intensifies strikes, hospital hits, and West Bank expansion

A week of Israeli attacks on Gaza and West Bank incursions kills and wounds civilians, including children and aid workers, while Gaza’s health system suffers from power and fuel shortages and hospital damage. West Bank settlements and demolitions continue under military protection, with hundreds of outposts and settlements expanding. International aid assessments conflict with Israeli claims of ample supplies, and the region faces political shifts toward Palestinian elections amid ongoing humanitarian crises and widespread reporting of casualties and destruction.
