Israeli forces have killed at least 24 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn, including five children and five people seeking aid, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and medical sources cited by Al Jazeera.
The latest casualties come amid ongoing global protests over Israel’s targeted assassination of four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers in Gaza.
A Hamas delegation has arrived in Egypt for further talks aimed at securing a ceasefire, even as Israel advances its plan to seize Gaza City, forcibly displace nearly one million Palestinians, and confine them to designated zones in the south.
Since the start of the war, at least 61,599 Palestinians have been killed and 154,088 wounded in Gaza. In Israel, an estimated 1,139 people were killed during the October 7, 2023 attacks, with more than 200 taken captive.
