"Israeli soldiers ambushed and killed in ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict"

Palestinian militants ambushed Israeli troops in Gaza City, killing at least nine soldiers, as Hamas continues to resist Israeli airstrikes and ground offensive. The war has resulted in the deaths of over 18,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and forced nearly 85% of Gaza's population to flee their homes. The US has called on Israel to spare Palestinian civilians but has blocked international calls for a cease-fire. Heavy fighting is ongoing in multiple areas, with clashes particularly intense in the Shijaiyah neighborhood. The health care system and humanitarian aid operations in Gaza have collapsed, leading to warnings of starvation and disease among displaced people. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling for a humanitarian cease-fire, but major powers did not join Israel and the US in opposing it. Israel and the US disagree on postwar plans, with the US hoping to revive the peace process and have the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority govern Gaza, while Netanyahu's government opposes Palestinian statehood.

"Intense Fighting and Humanitarian Crisis Grip Gaza as Israel Battles Militants"

The war has resulted in thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths and the displacement of nearly 85% of Gaza's population. Palestinians face severe shortages of food, water, and basic goods, raising concerns of permanent displacement. The fighting has caused widespread destruction and hindered the delivery of humanitarian aid. The harsh conditions in the south have led to illness among the population.

Investigation Reveals Cause of Gaza Hospital Blast: Palestinian Rocket Failure

U.S. intelligence officials have concluded with "high confidence" that the deadly blast at Gaza's Al-Ahli hospital was not caused by Israeli munitions, but rather by a rocket launched by Palestinian militants that suffered from "catastrophic motor failure." The explosion occurred when the rocket's warhead was propelled into the hospital compound. The officials cited evidence such as signals intercepts, video sources, photographs, and geolocation technologies to support their assessment. They also mentioned that the light structural damage and flight videos of the launch were inconsistent with air-dropped munitions or artillery rounds. The intelligence community could not rule out the possibility of new information changing their assessment.

Escalating Tensions: West Bank Braces for Gaza's War

Palestinian militants in the West Bank, including fighters from the Jenin Brigade, are engaging in armed rebellion against the Israeli occupation, as the conflict in Gaza spreads to the West Bank. Frustrated with the inability of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to protect them, these fighters are responding to Israeli army raids, settler attacks, and land confiscations. The ongoing war in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, has heightened tensions and fears of a similar fate in the West Bank. The PA's Western-backed security forces, seen as complicit in maintaining the occupation, are increasingly being targeted by Palestinian protesters. The situation is further exacerbated by the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where hospitals are overwhelmed and basic supplies are scarce.
