Thirty-two Palestinians were martyred and 119 others injured in the past 24 hours as Israeli bombardment and the devastating war on Gaza continue. This brings the death toll since October 7, 2023, to 52,567 martyrs and 118,610 injuries, according to the latest figures announced by the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

Amid the escalation, the Israeli Security Cabinet (the Cabinet for Security Affairs) unanimously approved the expansion of the military operation in Gaza, despite warnings from Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi that such a move could endanger the lives of Israeli captives held in the Strip. However, the implementation of this military escalation is expected to begin only after an anticipated visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the Middle East within ten days, according to Israeli media reports. This indicates ongoing international political and diplomatic coordination ahead of the next phase of the war.
