Israel started at least 50 Sunday airstrikes over Gaza, mostly aimed at eastern Gaza City. Following new Israeli army evacuation orders, this implies a potential expansion of regional ground operations.
Al Jazeera cites medical sources noting at least 68 Palestinians died, 47 of those in Gaza City and northern areas. Including a shocking count, Gaza’s Health Ministry records more than 133,400 injured and over 56,500 Palestinians killed from the conflict’s start.
Beginning the conflict, Hamas’s unexpected attack on Israel on October 7 claimed about 1,139 lives and took approximately 200 hostages into Gaza.
Reports claim that Egypt is working on a new plan that would free some Israeli hostages in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire. Still, nothing has been agreed on.
