Quick Summary

An Israeli drone strike killed two Palestinians in the Jabaliya area of Gaza, according to hospital officials. The Israeli military claims the victims were Hamas militants. Since the ceasefire deal over a year ago, at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed, with women and children making up about half of the casualties. Additionally, Iranian state TV reported that three oil tankers were struck by naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz, causing fires. Iranian officials warned that unauthorized vessels in the strait could face similar attacks, part of Iran's broader strategy to disrupt shipping and raise global energy prices during its conflict with the United States.
