Day 457 of Israel war: Israel kills 28 in Gaza; UN warns aid efforts ‘at breaking point’

By Desmond Nleya
Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza continues, with six people – including a child – killed in its latest attacks on residential buildings, taking the toll from assaults on Monday to at least 28.
Tom Fletcher, the UN’s relief chief, says efforts to save the lives of survivors in Gaza is “at breaking point” because of continued Israeli attacks on aid workers and the collapse of law and order in the war-torn enclave.
Israel’s military has launched a manhunt in the occupied West Bank after gunmen killed three Israelis near an illegal settlement in the Qalqilya governorate.
US envoy Amos Hochstein says the Israeli military will withdraw completely from south Lebanon after it withdrew from another of the nearly 60 border villages its troops are currently operating in. But Hochstein does not confirm if the Israeli pullout will be completed within the 60-day deadline of the ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 45,854 Palestinians and wounded 109,139 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
