Israeli tanks opened fire yesterday on a crowd of Palestinians gathered to receive humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 51 people, with a total of at least 65 killed in various attacks. The incident has raised international concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where blockade and conflicts have led to hunger and displacement of millions. Simultaneously, conflicts between Israel and Iran are escalating, with mutual airstrikes and missile attacks, including the killing of high-ranking Iranian officials by Israel. The Israeli military claims to minimize civilian harm, while Palestinians and international organizations condemn the attacks. Diplomatic efforts for de-escalation are ongoing, but tensions remain high.
