Israeli Strikes Kill Five People in Gaza
Israeli airstrikes have killed at least five Palestinians, including four women, during an attack on an apartment building in Gaza City. Health officials and reporting indicate that multiple separate strikes across the territory have driven up the death toll.

Israeli Strikes Kill Two in Gaza as UN Reports Surge in Abuse
Israeli strikes killed at least two Palestinians and wounded several others in separate attacks across the Gaza Strip on Monday. Health officials reported that a woman died on her building rooftop in Gaza City alongside her wounded husband, while another strike in central Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp killed a woman and wounded others. Simultaneously, the UN Population Fund warned of a sharp rise in reports of violence against women and girls in the enclave, including early and forced marriages.

These attacks arrive amid ongoing conflict and strained international diplomacy over the enclave's future governance and reconstruction. The United States-backed Board of Peace has introduced a blueprint backed by a budget of 2.15 billion euros.
