Israel Launches Airstrikes on Gaza and Jenin Amid Rising Tensions with Palestinian Authority
Israeli air strikes continue to target Gaza and the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of scores of Palestinians, including civilians. The UN has condemned the attacks on health workers, and the General Assembly is set to vote on a ceasefire resolution. Clashes between Israeli ground troops and Palestinian fighters persist, with conflicting claims of casualties from both sides. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed readiness for a possible war with the Palestinian Authority, while tensions between Israel and the US over post-war plans have emerged. The humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens, with aid distribution largely halted and medical facilities targeted. The UN calls for a humanitarian ceasefire, and the Houthi group's attack on an Israeli-bound tanker raises concerns about navigation in the Red Sea.
