Israeli planes and tanks bombarded eastern Gaza City overnight, resulting in the deaths of at least eleven people, according to witnesses and medics. The strikes come as Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya is expected in Cairo for renewed talks aimed at reviving a ceasefire proposal. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with five more deaths from starvation and malnutrition reported, raising the total to 227 since the conflict began. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to expand military control over Gaza has drawn criticism both internationally and within Israel, amid concerns for hostages and the civilian population. Despite ongoing violence and devastation, mediators in Egypt and Qatar are still working to bring both sides back to the negotiating table, though significant gaps remain on key issues.
