Escalation in Middle East: Israeli Strikes in Gaza and Beirut Amid US Aid Deadline

 

In a series of recent escalations, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant casualties in Gaza and Beirut. On Monday, two Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 14 people, including two children and a woman. The strikes targeted a cafeteria in the Muwasi humanitarian zone west of Khan Younis, resulting in 11 deaths. Another strike hit a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing three more individuals.

Despite some steps taken by Israel, U.S. officials have indicated that the efforts are insufficient, potentially impacting American military support.

The situation remains volatile, with international aid groups urging for greater humanitarian access to the war-torn regions.
