Netanyahu Visits Gaza, Pledges Escalation Against Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured northern Gaza on Tuesday, declaring that military operations would intensify until "all war objectives are achieved."

Death Toll Tops 51,000 as Strikes Continue
Gaza-based health authorities reported over 51,000 deaths since the conflict began 18 months ago. Meanwhile, fresh controversy erupted after an Israeli strike hit a hospital gate in Khan Younis's Mawasi area, killing at least one medic and injuring nine others. The Israeli military claimed the attack targeted "the head of a Hamas terrorist cell" and used "precise munitions" to minimize harm.
"We will escalate pressure until Hamas releases hostages and is defeated,"
Analysts warn the humanitarian crisis could worsen as Netanyahu’s government signals no retreat. Casualty reports remain contested, with global organizations urging immediate de-escalation. Stay tuned as tensions unfold.
