At least 41 Palestinians were killed in Gaza by Israeli fire on Sunday, Reuters reported, with at least five of the deaths occurring near two aid sites.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported earlier in the day that at least 13 Palestinians had been killed while trying to get supplies at aid locations run by the United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
European leaders have signaled shifts in their attitude toward Israel in recent weeks due to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Some 150,000 people gathered in The Hague on Sunday to protest Israel’s war, according to the organizers.
But for all the continued ferocity of the war in Gaza, Tel Aviv has recently been distracted by a new front in its conflict with Iran, with the Israel Defense Forces saying Saturday that Iran was the country’s “primary combat arena,” according to Haaretz.
Israel attacked key Iranian facilities and figures on Friday, leading to three days of missile salvos between the two sides. The IDF also said it had created a safe route to Tehran and that Israel can now operate freely in Iran’s airspace.
