Israeli military actions in the West Bank and Gaza have resulted in several casualties, including teenagers, according to Palestinian officials. The situation is escalating as Hezbollah responds with drone attacks on northern Israel, causing additional injuries.

The conflict has reached a critical point, with leaders from Egypt and Turkiye striving to prevent wider regional turmoil. Despite their efforts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that the country is already in a 'multi-front war' with Iran and its affiliates.

Meanwhile, Gaza faces a dire humanitarian crisis. The only corridor for humanitarian aid has been shut down, exacerbating the suffering of its 2.3 million residents. Aid organizations are struggling to deliver essential supplies amid continuous fighting and lawlessness.
