"Israel-Hamas conflict escalates, UN calls for urgent aid access"

The Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate as the crisis in Gaza deepens. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claim that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group is responsible for a "failed rocket launch" that struck a Gaza hospital, killing hundreds of people. The Pentagon confirms that there will be a steady flow of weapons from the United States to Israel. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas cancels his meeting with US President Joe Biden following the hospital strike. The IDF denies targeting hospitals, while the Palestinian foreign ministry condemns the strike as a "cold-blooded massacre." The IDF chief warns Hezbollah against attacking Israel, stating that they will be "destroyed" if they make a mistake. Abbas declares three days of mourning for the victims of the hospital strike, and the Palestinian Health Ministry estimates that 200 to 300 people were killed. Survivors of the Nova festival, which was attacked by Hamas militants, share their stories with foreign dignitaries, calling it an "attack against humanity."
