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

On Friday, Israel conducted numerous air attacks throughout both northern and southern Gaza, resulting in over 90 fatalities and hundreds of injuries, while U.S. President Trump concluded his trip to the Middle East without visiting Israel.
The strikes followed days of similar attacks prompted by Hamas's October 7 intrusion into southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, with Israel breaking a ceasefire in March to begin the offensive.
Israeli officials characterized the strikes on Friday as initial steps in a broader military operation designed to compel Hamas to free the 58 hostages still held in Gaza, amid a continuing blockade that is intensifying the humanitarian situation.
Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to escalate the war to destroy Hamas, saying Israeli forces would enter Gaza with great strength, while Trump expressed hopes to resolve global crises including Gaza, stating, "We're looking at Gaza".
The intensified strikes and blockade have deepened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and raised concerns among hostage families who urged cooperation with diplomatic efforts to avoid missing a historic opportunity for a hostage deal.
