Evening recap

Israeli forces have killed at least 51 Palestinians in attacks across the Gaza Strip, while UN and Gazan health officials issued stark warnings about an escalating famine crisis. Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich doubled down on his position, insisting no humanitarian aid should enter the enclave and boasting of a “conquest of the land.” The conflict has also widened, with a Houthi leader condemning Israeli air raids on Sanaa and warning of retaliation, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu threatened the group would “pay a heavy price.”
