"Deadly Gaza Aid Drop: Israel and Hamas Clash, 20 Killed"
The death toll in Gaza rises to over 31,600 as Israeli airstrikes continue, with reports of civilian casualties and devastation. The Israeli military strikes a Hezbollah compound in southern Lebanon, while an explosion is reported by a merchant vessel in the Red Sea. The World Health Organization expresses grave concern over Israel's plan for an offensive in Rafah, and thousands in Israel protest for the release of hostages and call for the government to resign. US Secretary of State Blinken discusses a potential ceasefire-hostage release deal with Bahrain's Crown Prince, and Mossad director is expected to travel to Doha for ceasefire talks. Meanwhile, aid brought to Gaza by ship is being readied for distribution, with warnings that maritime aid should complement, not substitute, land deliveries.
