Israel-Gaza war

Israel-Gaza war: Gaza health officials said more than 100 people were killed after a crowd converged on an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday. Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses blamed the casualties on Israeli gunfire; Israeli officials blamed a stampede near the aid convoy. President Biden said Friday that the United States would launch an airdrop campaign to deliver aid to Gaza.

Middle East conflict: Tensions in the region continue to rise. As Israeli troops aim to take control of the Gaza-Egypt border crossing, officials in Cairo warn that the move would undermine the 1979 peace treaty. Meanwhile, there’s a diplomatic scramble to avert full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon.

U.S. involvement: U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria killed dozens of Iranian-linked militants, according to Iraqi officials. The strikes were the first round of retaliatory action by the Biden administration for an attack in Jordan that killed three U.S. service members.
