Excerpt: Israeli air raids on Gaza killed at least 70 Palestinians, including women and children, as reported by Gaza’s emergency services. The strikes coincided with Israeli ground forces advancing through the Netzarim passage. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Katz warned of intensified military action unless Hamas releases hostages and relinquishes control. Gaza’s health ministry reported over 436 deaths since Tuesday, further deepening the humanitarian crisis.
