Israeli shelling and airstrikes killed 23 Palestinians in Gaza, including seven children, according to local health officials. The strikes hit areas including Khan Younis and Gaza City. A medic who went to help victims was killed in a second strike at the same site, officials said. The Israeli military said it acted after militants fired at its troops near the armistice line and called it a ceasefire violation. It also said one strike targeted a senior Hamas commander. Hamas said the attacks harmed truce efforts and called for “immediate international pressure.” The violence came days after Rafah crossing with Egypt reopened. (PC: HT)
