The Associated Press reported Israeli airstrikes killed at least 33 people in Gaza over a 12-hour period Wednesday and Thursday — mostly women and children — citing health officials. Israel said its soldiers had come under fire in Khan Younis on Wednesday. Hamas denied firing toward Israeli troops.
Reuters on Thursday reported that Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenagers during an overnight raid on a town near Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a U.S. resolution to authorize an international stabilization force for Gaza and back the Trump administration’s peace plan. The plan envisions “a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” only after Gaza redevelopment advances and the Palestinian Authority reforms itself.
