The war in Gaza was triggered when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250. Some 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, although about one-third of them are believed to be dead.

Israeli airstrike on a northern Gaza home claimed the lives of three young siblings, all under the age of six, according to Palestinian medics.

Palestinian medical officials say Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 31 people in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, including 11 at a makeshift cafeteria in an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone.
