The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical. The United Nations has appealed to all parties to respect and protect healthcare facilities. Reports from a new air strike on a refugee camp, Maghazi, revealed at least seven fatalities and numerous injured.

In the most recent development, at least nine Palestinian civilians — including three children — have been killed, with many more injured in renewed airstrikes against several parts of Gaza, according to Wafa news agency. Al Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip was among the targeted areas.

Earlier, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that Israeli forces had detained the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. The ministry and the Gaza-based Defense Cabinet also reported that Israeli forces had detained and interrogated several medical staff members.

The escalating violence comes amidst concerns over Russia’s accusations against the U.S. and the UK, alleging attempts to provoke attacks against Russian bases in Syria. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed these actions aim to pressure Russia to evacuate the bases.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government faces domestic disapproval, with a recent Channel 12 poll indicating that two-thirds of Israelis disapprove of their government’s performance.
