Israeli Strikes Devastate Gaza as Ceasefire Talks Stall

Over 700 Palestinians killed in the past week, critical infrastructure targeted, and Egypt's proposed ceasefire plan remains unresolved.

Israel's intensified military campaign in Gaza has killed more than 700 people in the past week, pushing the death toll since October 2023 to over 50,000, with thousands still buried under rubble.
Critical infrastructure, including hospitals, has been targeted in airstrikes, with Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis heavily damaged, killing two individuals, including a senior Hamas official.
Two journalists, including an Al Jazeera reporter, were killed in Israeli strikes on Monday, adding to the more than 200 media workers killed since the conflict began.
The United Nations has announced a reduction in its international staff in Gaza following a deadly Israeli tank strike on a UN compound last week, citing safety concerns.
Egypt has proposed a new ceasefire plan involving phased hostage releases and a timeline for Israeli withdrawal, but negotiations remain deadlocked as violence escalates.
