"White House Vows Retaliation for Drone Strike Killing 3 U.S. Soldiers in Jordan"

Three U.S. soldiers were killed and 34 others injured in a drone strike in Jordan, attributed to an Iran-backed militia, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Meanwhile, high-level talks in Paris aimed at negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas were described as "constructive." Israel moved to block protesters from impeding aid flow into Gaza, and the U.N. chief urged major donors not to suspend aid to its agency for Palestinians. Several countries, including the U.S. and Germany, have suspended funding to UNRWA following allegations against its employees. Intense fighting in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis has put strain on hospitals, with reports of depleted oxygen supplies and damage to medical facilities.
