Israeli strikes kill 37 in Gaza, including nine children
At least 37 Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Saturday as Israeli forces launched fresh air and drone attacks across the enclave, Gaza's civil defence said. Spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 35 people lost their lives in seven separate strikes across various areas, while Israeli fire killed two more civilians waiting for food assistance in the Netzarim corridor, a militarised zone in central Gaza. Among the dead were nine children, according to Bassal. Three were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a house in Jabalia, in northern Gaza. He said six other children died in the northeast of Gaza City after strikes targeted a neighbourhood sheltering displaced people, including one area close to a school.

Former Israeli prime minister urges Gaza withdrawal for captive deal
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called for a full withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the release of all captives held by Hamas. Speaking to Channel 12, Bennett proposed what he described as a 'comprehensive deal' to break what he called a 'terrible stagnation.' 'In light of the terrible stagnation, I suggest we go for a comprehensive deal: releasing all the hostages and deploying the IDF on the Gaza Strip perimeter,' he said, in a report carried by the Israeli daily Haaretz. Bennett also argued that the task of dismantling Hamas should be left to Israel's next leadership. 'Netanyahu must step down. Twenty years in power is unhealthy... The people want quiet, they want a government that runs the country,' he added.
