A tragic incident occurred in Gaza as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reported that Hamas attacked a bus carrying aid workers, resulting in the deaths of at least five staff members. The U.S.-backed aid group confirmed the loss of its Palestinian workers, claiming that the attack likely involved a larger scale of violence, possibly leading to hostages being taken. In response, Israel accused Hamas of weaponizing suffering in Gaza amid an ongoing conflict. Hamas, on the other hand, claimed to have killed 12 fighters affiliated with Israeli-supported groups during the incident. The situation remains critical as humanitarian efforts continue amidst escalating violence.
