Local authorities in the Gaza Strip have accused Israeli forces of attacking people waiting for aid, killing 19 people. Israeli Defense Minister Gallant is scheduled to head to the United States on the 24th to discuss future responses.
The focus is on whether ground operations can be avoided in the southern Gaza Strip, where many evacuees are sheltering. The Israeli army continues military operations across the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. The meeting is also expected to include discussions about Israel's planned ground operation toward Rafah.
