Israeli strikes kill at least 20 people in Gaza as Trump wraps up his Middle East visit

On Friday, Israel conducted numerous airstrikes targeting both northern and southern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 93 individuals and injuring hundreds more.
The strikes followed days of similar attacks and aim to pressure Hamas to release 58 hostages taken during its October 2023 attack that initiated the war.
Israeli officials described Friday's strikes near Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis as preparatory actions for a larger military campaign against Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to intensify operations to destroy Hamas, while Israel's military eliminated several militants in observation compounds.
The strikes and a blockade harming Gaza's humanitarian situation suggest escalating conflict, with efforts to negotiate hostage release ongoing as Trump ended his Gulf visit without visiting Israel.
