"Escalating Violence in Gaza: Death Toll Soars as Truce Talks Resume"

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed 77 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, as truce talks between Israel and Hamas continue in Egypt. The Israeli military claimed to have killed a senior Islamic Jihad militant in a strike on a command center in Gaza, while Palestinian health officials and Hamas media reported casualties, including journalists, from the strike. The two sides are negotiating a truce mediated by Qatar and Egypt, with Hamas demanding an end to the fighting and withdrawal of Israeli forces, while Israel seeks to dismantle Hamas's governing and military capabilities. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with reports of civilian casualties, destroyed infrastructure, and a looming famine, as the conflict continues to escalate.
