At least 12 Palestinians, including six police officers, were killed in Israeli air strikes and tank shelling in Gaza, according to local health officials. The attacks come amid heightened diplomatic activity, with Iran's Foreign Minister traveling to Islamabad and US envoys set to hold talks on the escalating conflict.
The Israeli military confirmed operations in Gaza, citing targets linked to militant groups. Palestinian authorities condemned the strikes as disproportionate, calling for international intervention.
Meanwhile, Iran's top diplomat arrived in Pakistan for consultations, signaling Tehran's push for regional coordination. The US State Department announced envoys would travel for negotiations, though details remain sparse.
The situation remains volatile as civilian casualties mount and diplomatic efforts struggle to gain traction.
