In Gaza, a surprise ground assault followed by Israeli airstrikes from air, land, and sea resulted in dozens of casualties on Eid day. At least 89 Palestinians were killed in Israeli military strikes within 24 hours, with many more wounded. The attacks destroyed houses and mosques, leading residents to flee amid the destruction. In the West Bank, Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians. Additionally, Turkish journalists were wounded in an Israeli strike in Gaza. The Israeli army claimed that aid trucks were allowed into Gaza through a new crossing, but details were not disclosed. The United Nations has called for a direct hotline to Israeli forces to ensure safe aid delivery and combat mistrust.
