The death toll in the ongoing conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza has now surpassed 69,000, according to local health officials. Despite ongoing ceasefire attempts, Israeli airstrikes and ground operations continue to claim lives, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reporting that they killed multiple Palestinian operatives who crossed designated lines. Tensions remain high as both sides exchange remains of the dead. Humanitarian aid is being restricted amid intense military actions, leading to further suffering in the region. Calls for international intervention grow louder as analysts express concern over the persistent disregard for ceasefire agreements.
