💨 Abstract

In Gaza, a stampede at a food distribution site run by an Israeli-backed American organization killed 20 Palestinians. The organization blamed Hamas for fomenting panic, while witnesses accused security forces of using tear gas and causing a crush. Simultaneously, Israeli strikes in Gaza killed 41 more people, including children. In Syria, Israel launched airstrikes near Damascus and southern Syria, aiming to protect the Druze minority amid clashes.
