The conflict in Gaza, sparked by an attack from Hamas on Israel, has resulted in the deaths of over 35,000 Palestinians, making it the deadliest bout of violence in the history of the region. Despite concerns over Israel's use of bombs, the United States has announced plans to send over $1 billion worth of arms and ammunition. The White House paused an earlier transfer of weapons to prevent their use in densely populated areas.

Israeli forces have intensified their offensive, advancing into residential areas of southern Gaza and pounding the northern enclave with heavy attacks. The US State Department has initiated a $1 billion weapons aid package for Israel, including tank rounds and tactical vehicles. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan plans to visit Saudi Arabia and Israel to urge restraint amid fears of further civilian casualties.

Amidst the conflict, the Israel Defense Forces shot down two drones launched towards Israeli territory, allegedly by Iran-backed groups. Additionally, an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon reportedly killed two individuals, including a Hezbollah field commander. The situation remains tense as international pressure mounts for de-escalation.
