srael launches a ground offensive in Gaza City, sparking a series of violent incidents. A wounded boy waits under rubble after an airstrike. Dozens are killed in the initial strike, and a UN commission later labels Israel’s actions as genocide. Families of hostages protest as the offensive expands. Overnight, explosions are heard from southern Israel. In London, police arrest peaceful Palestine Action protesters. The attack on Qatar draws global outrage; Netanyahu claims the Doha strike could lead to peace, but the White House says it does not advance U.S. or Israeli goals.
