"Fragile Ceasefire Shaken: Israeli Airstrike Claims Nine Lives in Gaza

In a tragic escalation of violence, an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya has claimed the lives of at least nine Palestinians, including two local journalists. The strike, which targeted a vehicle, left several others critically injured, according to Gaza's health ministry.
