Israeli aircraft struck Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while Palestinian militants launched rockets into Israel, marking a third consecutive night of hostilities.
The escalation follows heightened tensions from the escape of six Palestinian prisoners from an Israeli jail—four of whom have been recaptured—and stalled Egyptian-brokered truce negotiations.
Amid the violence, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is visiting Egypt to discuss a long-term truce, while Foreign Minister Yair Lapid proposed a new plan for international investment in Gaza in exchange for de-escalation.
