Mother, newborn among at least 36 killed in Israeli strikes as some aid trickles in
Israeli strikes killed at least 36 Palestinians in multiple locations across Gaza on Monday, local health officials said, a day after Israel eased aid restrictions in the face of a worsening humanitarian crisis in the territory. The dead included a newborn who was delivered in a complex surgery after his mother, who was seven months pregnant, was killed in a strike, according to the Nasser Hospital. Israel announced Sunday that the military would pause operations in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and al-Mawasi for 10 hours a day until further notice to allow for the improved flow of aid to Palestinians in Gaza, where concern over hunger has grown, and designate secure routes for aid delivery. Israel said it would continue military operations alongside the new humanitarian measures. The Israeli military had no immediate comment about the latest strikes, which occurred outside the time frame for the pause Israel declared would be held between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. WATCH | Israeli military starts 'tactical pause' in three populated areas of Gaza: Israel resumes Gaza aid drops after international criticism over hunger crisis 20 hours ago Israel has resumed airdrops of aid into Gaza after it faced waves of international criticism over its role in Gaza's hunger crisis. The Israeli military also said it would begin a 'tactical pause' in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day to allow more humanitarian aid to be delivered. Aid agencies have welcomed the new aid measures, which also included allowing airdrops into Gaza, but said they were not enough to counter the rising hunger in the Palestinian territory. Images of emaciated children have sparked outrage around the world, including from Israel's close allies. U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday called the images of emaciated and malnourished children in Gaza "terrible." Israel has restricted aid to varying degrees throughout the war. In March, it cut off the entry of all goods, including fuel, food and medicine to pressure Hamas to free hostages. Israel partially lifted those restrictions in May but also pushed ahead on a new U.S. and Israeli-backed aid delivery system that has been racked by chaos and violence. Traditional aid providers also have encountered a similar breakdown in law and order surrounding their aid deliveries. More Palestinians killed near aid hubs Most of Gaza's population now relies on aid. Accessing food has become a challenge that some Palestinians have risked their lives for. The Awda hospital in central Gaza said it received the bodies of seven Palestinians who it said were killed Monday by Israeli fire close to an aid distribution site run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The hospital said 20 others were wounded close to the site. GHF did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The pregnant woman and her child were killed along with 11 others after their house was struck in the al-Mawasi area, west of the southern city of Khan Younis, according to a hospital run by the Palestinian Red Crescent. Another strike hit a two-storey house in the western Japanese neighborhood of Khan Younis, killing at least 11 people, more than half of them women and children, said the Nasser Hospital, which received the casualties. At least five others were killed in strikes elsewhere in Gaza, according to local hospitals. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on most of the strikes. It said it was not aware of one strike in Gaza City during the pause that health officials said killed one person. In its Oct. 7, 2023, attack, Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. It still holds 50, more than half Israel believes to be dead.

Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Compugen Ltd is currently recruiting participants for a clinical trial titled An Adaptive Clinical Platform Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of COM701 as Monotherapy or Combination Therapy as Maintenance Therapy in Participants With Relapsed Platinum Sensitive Ovarian Cancer (PSOC). The study aims to assess whether COM701, an experimental antibody, can delay the progression of ovarian cancer and its safety profile. The trial is testing COM701, administered intravenously every three weeks, as both a standalone treatment and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs. The primary goal is to determine if COM701 can slow or stop cancer progression and delay the need for new treatments. This interventional study uses a randomized, parallel, triple-masked design. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either COM701 or a placebo, with a 67% chance of receiving the experimental drug. The primary purpose is treatment, and the study includes regular safety and efficacy reviews by a data monitoring committee. The study began on July 22, 2025, with an estimated primary completion date yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on the same start date, indicating active recruitment and ongoing study activities. The successful development of COM701 could positively impact Compugen's stock performance by enhancing investor confidence in its pipeline. This trial's progress is crucial in the competitive oncology market, where innovative treatments are highly sought after. The study is ongoing, and further details can be accessed on the ClinicalTrials portal.
