15+ Palestinians killed in Gaza as Israeli raids sweep West Bank
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 18 Palestinians across Gaza early Wednesday as bombardment intensified and the humanitarian crisis worsened, Palestinian media reported.
A strike on a displacement tent in Gaza City's al-Shati camp reportedly killed a young girl and an unborn child extracted from her mother's body, while several other children were wounded. In Tel al-Hawa, five civilians—including women and children—were killed near Al-Falah Mosque, with civil defense teams later recovering seven additional bodies from nearby rubble.
Footage circulated online showed Israeli suicide drones targeting a woman and child searching for food and water in Gaza City.
Strikes also hit al-Bureij, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis, leveling the Hijazi Building at al-Bureij camp's entrance and triggering fires near Nuseirat after structures near the power station were bombed.

A local source, cited by the Palestinian Information Center, confirmed the deaths of journalist Walaa al-Jaabari, her husband and their five children in a strike that hit the home of Dr. Hassan al-Shaer, medical director of Al-Shifa Hospital.
Doctors at Al-Shifa also reported a surge in starvation and exhaustion cases as hospitals operated with bare-minimum supplies, while paramedics were injured evacuating the wounded near Hamad Hospital.
Gaza's Health Ministry confirmed 59,106 killed and 142,511 injured since October 7, 2023, with most victims being women and children.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warned that famine is spreading rapidly, children are dying of malnutrition, and thousands of aid trucks remain stranded due to Israeli restrictions. The agency urged an immediate end to the blockade.

Troops also entered Beit Amin in Qalqilya, raided homes in Anata near Jerusalem, and conducted operations in al-Dawha, al-Rashayda, and al-Minya near Bethlehem. Further north, Israeli patrols swept al-Far'a Camp near Tubas, arresting residents in Bal'a, Shweika, and Attil, while four others were detained in Kafr al-Deek in Salfit.

In al-Khalil, Israeli forces arrested 12 people during coordinated pre-dawn raids, vandalized property, and installed new checkpoints using gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds to tighten movement across the West Bank.

Hamas shows starving Israeli hostage alongside Gaza children: They Eat What We Eat
Shafaq News – Gaza On Friday, Hamas released a video showing a malnourished Israeli hostage, alongside images of starving Palestinian children in Gaza, under the slogan: 'They eat what we eat, they drink what we drink. The occupation government decided to starve them.' The video was circulated by media outlets and included footage of the hostage describing severe hunger and physical weakness. It was followed by scenes of children across Gaza suffering from acute malnutrition. The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 150 people, including 90 children, have died from hunger or malnutrition-related causes in recent weeks. UN agencies have warned that famine is imminent in parts of the enclave, particularly in the north, where food access remains severely restricted due to Israeli military operations and blockade measures. Aid organizations say current humanitarian measures, including limited airdrops and brief pauses, remain insufficient. Many Palestinians continue to face life-threatening conditions while searching for food, often amid looting or gunfire. Hamas is believed to be holding around 50 hostages, with Israeli officials estimating that only 20 may still be alive. The group captured more than 250 people during the October 7 attacks, in which over 1,200 Israelis were killed. In retaliation, Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have since killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israeli authorities did not immediately respond to the video. However, families of hostages have been intensifying demonstrations in Tel Aviv and outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, demanding a deal to secure their release.

Israel kills 24 Palestinians in Gaza strikes
Shafaq News – Gaza On Friday, Israeli forces killed at least 24 Palestinians across Gaza, including five aid seekers and seven displaced civilians sheltering in tents. Nasser Medical Complex confirmed that seven displaced civilians were killed when Israeli strikes targeted tents in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis. Israeli warplanes also carried out multiple airstrikes throughout the day, hitting residential areas in Rafah, Khan Younis, and Gaza City, where a strike reportedly targeted a gathering of civilians. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 156 people, mostly in recent weeks, have died due to hunger or malnutrition, bringing the overall Palestinian death toll since October 2023 to more than 60,000. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch said Israeli forces had set up a flawed military system for distributing aid in Gaza, turning the process into a 'bloodbath' and a 'death trap.' The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) warned that more than 500,000 people in Gaza are facing famine, with women, infants, and children dying from hunger and the collapse of healthcare and nutrition services. Famine is unfolding in #Gaza 500,000+ people face famine-like conditions.
