An Israeli strike killed a man and his daughter in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, while medical sources report a total of two Palestinians killed and two others injured in fresh violence.

The violence underscores persistent friction despite broader regional tensions and active readiness drills. Meanwhile, separate geopolitical friction points continue to develop, including an Iranian claim that its air defense forces shot down a US MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz.
