Israeli Drone Strike in Gaza Kills Nine, Including Journalists and Aid Workers

The attack targeted a relief team in Beit Lahiya, raising concerns over ceasefire violations and humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed nine people, including three journalists and six aid workers from the UK-based Al Khair Foundation.
The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted individuals operating a drone posing a threat, but the charity and Gaza officials denied these allegations, stating the victims were civilians engaged in humanitarian work.
The attack has drawn widespread condemnation, with rights groups accusing Israel of violating international law and committing acts that exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain stalled, with disputes over the implementation of a second phase of the truce and discussions on a permanent end to the conflict.
Humanitarian conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate, with aid blockades, water shortages, and rising malnutrition levels, particularly affecting children under the age of two.
