Six Palestinians killed by Israeli strikes in separate incidents Magic Post

The Israeli army carried out an airstrike on the UN-run al-Jaouni school in central Gaza, killing at least 18 people.

Witnesses reported that women and children were among the victims. Six of the victims were United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff, including the shelter director.

The incident marks the highest number of deaths among UNRWA personnel in a single attack in the current 11-month war.

At the same time, Hamas informed the mediators of its willingness to implement a truce agreement proposed by the United States and supported by the UN, without imposing new conditions.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces killed at least six Palestinians in the West Bank during a series of operations targeting militant groups.

The military reported that five men were killed in Tubas during an airstrike targeting individuals allegedly armed with explosives, as well as the destruction of weapons production facilities.

The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that five bodies were found at the site.

In another incident in Tulkarem, Israeli forces killed another Palestinian, apparently an armed militant.

The Israeli military is carrying out extensive operations in the northern West Bank, particularly in towns like Tubas, Jenin and Tulkarm, where violent clashes have been reported between Israeli forces and armed factions, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah.

Amid continued violence in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war in October, more than 680 Palestinians have been killed, including fighters and civilians, according to Palestinian health authorities.

The Israeli military also reported casualties, with around 40 Israeli soldiers and civilians killed in clashes or attacks.

Separately, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a Lebanese network accused of trafficking oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to generate revenue for Hezbollah.

The sanctions targeted individuals, companies and vessels linked to Hezbollah’s financing operations.

According to U.S. officials, these smuggling activities were used to support Hezbollah operations, including launching rockets into Israel.

In related news, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Iraq for the first time, emphasizing strengthening ties between the two countries amid growing regional tensions.

Pezeshkian’s trip focuses on regional security and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The conflict in Gaza has so far claimed the lives of at least 41,084 people and left 95,029 injured.
