Escalating Violence: Israeli Airstrikes Claim Lives in Gaza and West Bank

An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school killed at least 10 Palestinians. Earlier airstrikes in the West Bank targeted and killed nine militants, including a Hamas commander. Rising violence in the region has led to a high number of casualties, with negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire showing little progress.

An Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced persons in Gaza City killed at least 10 Palestinians on Saturday, according to Hamas officials.

Earlier in the day, two West Bank strikes resulted in the deaths of nine militants, including a local Hamas commander.

The Israeli military reported that the strikes targeted militant cells preparing to carry out attacks. Violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has significantly increased, coinciding with ongoing raids and street attacks.

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli military actions have resulted in numerous casualties, with Hamas and Iranian-backed groups vowing retaliation.
