Journalists in the occupied West Bank are being "attacked and harassed" by Israeli forces, according to two United Nations experts, who accused Israel of trying to prevent reporting on alleged "war crimes."

At the end of August, Israel launched a large-scale offensive across the northern West Bank, fighting Palestinian militants and leaving widespread destruction.

An Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza City, which the Israeli military claimed was a “command center” for Hamas “terrorists,” resulted in nearly one hundred deaths and sparked intense reactions worldwide.

Last night, the Israeli military asserted that the strike eliminated “at least 19 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists,” releasing a list of names.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a plea to the international community to intervene and prevent a looming humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, where hunger and epidemics are rampant among populations denied access to aid.

Israeli strikes ravaged southern Gaza on Sunday, as the CIA's chief met with Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari officials for ceasefire talks.

Three United States troops were killed by a drone strike in the Jordan-Syria border area. It was the first loss of American military lives to hostile fire since the war began, further raising fears of broader conflict.

"So, a four-hour ceasefire, so people can breathe and remember what life is like without bombing before we start bombing them again. It's very cynical and cruel," Francesca Albanese told reporters in Adelaide, Australia, AP reports.
