The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported that Israeli attacks across the strip on Tuesday killed at least 79 people, with 289 more injured. Among the dead, 49 were reportedly shot while attempting to collect humanitarian aid. Over the past month, at least 516 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 3,800 injured during similar incidents involving aid distribution.

In a surprise assault on Israeli forces in Khan Younis, Gaza, Hamas militants killed five Israeli soldiers and injured at least 15 others—some critically. Several Israeli troops remain missing. Following the attack, Israeli forces launched intense retaliatory strikes in the area, primarily to extract the wounded. Air ambulances were later deployed for evacuation.

Since October 2023, at least 377,000 people, mostly children, have gone missing in Gaza due to Israeli military actions, according to a Harvard Dataverse report by Prof. Yakov Garb. The report highlights how Israeli attacks and blockades have drastically reduced Gaza’s population. It also criticizes the U.S.-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for ineffective aid distribution, with many civilians unable to access help due to dangerous, restricted zones. The actual death toll may far exceed the official count of 61,000.

In a special operation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have recovered the bodies of three Israeli citizens from Gaza. Among the deceased are soldier Shai Levinson and two civilians, Ofra Keidar and Yonatan Samrano. According to CNN, two of the victims were killed during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, while the third died trying to escape the Nova Music Festival during the same assault.

Palestinian resistance group Hamas has condemned the recent U.S. military strikes on Iran, calling them a "clear act of aggression" and a "direct threat to international peace and stability".
In a statement, Hamas accused the U.S. of violating international law.
Meanwhile, in retaliation for Israeli actions in Gaza, Hamas claimed to have detained significant numbers of Israeli soldiers, although such moves have received criticism from Western governments.

At least 82 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours during Israeli air and ground assaults in Gaza, many of them while attempting to collect food and humanitarian aid. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 34 of the victims were targeted directly while receiving aid, including women and children. The attacks reportedly occurred near distribution centers operated by humanitarian foundations supported by the US and Israel. UNICEF spokesperson James Elder warned that only 40% of Gaza’s water supply is currently functional, raising the risk of dehydration-related deaths among children.

Israeli forces have escalated their assault on Gaza, killing at least 92 Palestinians in the past 24 hours and injuring over 200 others. Eyewitnesses report that the victims included people waiting in line for humanitarian aid, as Israeli shelling targeted areas near a relief distribution center run by a US- and Israeli-backed agency. With casualties mounting rapidly, hospitals are reportedly overwhelmed and struggling to provide adequate care.

At least 72 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since Wednesday, including 29 individuals who were waiting in line for humanitarian aid, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Hamas condemned the attacks, describing them as "systematic torture, genocide, targeting the starving, forced displacement, and the shrinking of so-called safe zones"—acts it equated with war crimes.

Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday killed at least 80 Palestinians across central and southern Gaza, including in Deir al-Balah, al-Bureij, Rafah, and Khan Younis. Several families were hit in their homes or makeshift shelters. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported over 200 injuries. The total death toll since October 2023 has now reached 55,493, with over 129,000 injured. Gaza’s Information Office estimates the real death count, including the missing, to exceed 62,000, amid ongoing Israeli military operations.

Hamas has categorically denied rumors of an assassination attempt on Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, head of its Gaza branch, in Doha.

In an official statement, Hamas clarified that the reports circulating on social media were “completely false and baseless.” The group strongly condemned the spread of such misinformation, urging media outlets to verify facts before publishing such claims. “Do not fall into the traps of Zionist propaganda,” the statement warned.

Israeli forces have killed at least 59 more Palestinians in Gaza, with at least 17 of them shot while trying to collect food from a relief center run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the US and Israel. Reporting from Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said, “Locals told us that Israeli troops did not issue any warning before opening fire on the starving crowd, leading to horrifying civilian casualties.” The attack adds to the mounting toll of civilian deaths amid the ongoing assault on Gaza.

Israel has destroyed Gaza’s final optical fiber line, cutting off all internet and landline access. Palestinian officials warn this move aims to digitally isolate and silence the population amid an escalating humanitarian crisis. Human rights groups condemn the blackout as a violation of international law. With aid operations crippled and the death toll mounting—over 55,000 killed and 127,000 injured—Gaza faces one of modern history’s worst humanitarian disasters, with thousands still missing under the rubble.

At least 40 starving Palestinians have been killed and nearly 200 injured after Israeli forces attacked two aid distribution centers in Gaza. With this incident, over 150 Palestinians have now died while attempting to receive aid from the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said, "Thousands of citizens were targeted by Israeli tanks and drones while approaching the U.S.-backed aid centers for food. We have recovered at least 31 bodies so far and rescued nearly 200 injured." In a separate attack near an aid center in Rafah, nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire. The Israeli military has acknowledged the attack.

The UK, along with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway, has imposed sanctions on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting violence against Palestinians and violating human rights. The sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans. While Israel condemned the move, the US opposed the sanctions, calling them unhelpful to Gaza ceasefire efforts. The sanctioned ministers dismissed the actions. Meanwhile, the US sanctioned Palestinian groups allegedly tied to Hamas. The move aims to curb settler violence and uphold international law and humanitarian principles.

Israeli attacks on Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 70 more Palestinians in the last 24 hours, with over 200 others injured, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Among the dead were several civilians seeking food aid. The United Nations has warned that Gaza is on the brink of famine. Gaza’s Government Information Office revealed that at least 20 people were killed while attempting to collect aid, including a 12-year-old child. Palestinians and local officials have described distribution centers as “human slaughterhouses,” noting that over 150 people have been killed and around 1,500 injured since the relief operations by the organization GHF began on May 27.
