In recent developments, foreigners and injured Palestinians from Gaza have started arriving in Egypt through the Rafah crossing for the first time since the October 7 attacks. The Gaza Strip's communication and internet services are gradually returning after a complete outage earlier on Wednesday.
Airstrikes in Gaza, particularly the one that hit Jabalia refugee camp on Tuesday, resulted in the death of a Hamas commander, according to the Israeli military, and caused widespread casualties and damage. In response to the airstrikes, the White House reiterated its call for Israel to minimize civilian casualties. Additionally, the U.S. is deploying an additional 300 troops to the Middle East, as announced by the Pentagon. Tragically, Hamas reported that seven hostages, including three individuals with foreign passports, were killed in Israel's strike on Jabalia refugee camp, with around 240 people taken hostage, according to Israeli officials. Amid severe shortages of essential supplies in Gaza, 83 trucks carrying aid have entered the enclave, bringing the total to 240 since October 7, according to Egyptian officials. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on both sides, with the Gaza Health Ministry, under Hamas control, reporting that over 8,000 people have been killed, most of them women and children, without distinguishing between militants and civilians. In Israel, more than 1,400 people have died in the attacks that ignited the war, including over 300 Israel Defense Forces soldiers, according to Israeli officials.
