Israel says three soldiers killed in Gaza in deadliest attack on its forces since a truce ended in March
KHAN YOUNIS: The Israeli military said Tuesday that three of its soldiers were killed in the Gaza Strip, in what appeared to be the deadliest attack on Israel's forces since it ended a ceasefire with Hamas in March. The military said the three soldiers, all in their early 20s, fell during combat in northern Gaza on Monday, without providing details. Israeli media reported that they were killed in an explosion in the Jabaliya area. Israel ended the ceasefire in March after Hamas refused to change the agreement to release more hostages sooner. Israeli strikes have killed thousands of Palestinians since then, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Burn patients face excruciating recovery as medicines dwindle under Israeli blockade of Gaza
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza (AP) — Hamza Abu Shabab cringed in pain as his mother pulled off his shirt and eased his bandaged head back onto his pillow so she could apply ointment to his small, burned body. The 7-year-old suffered third degree burns across his head, neck and shoulders when, frightened by an Israeli airstrike, he spilled a hot plate of rice and lentils onto himself in his family's tent in southern Gaza last month.

AP PHOTOS: A pregnant woman under Israel's blockade in Gaza fears for her baby
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip has made pregnancy and childbirth more dangerous for Palestinian women and their babies. It's become worse since Israel seven weeks ago cut off food, medicine and supplies for the territory's more than 2 million people. According to the United Nations Population Fund, up to 20% of Gaza's estimated 55,000 pregnant women are malnourished, and half face high-risk pregnancies. In February and March, at least 20% of newborns were born prematurely or suffering from complications or malnutrition. Comprehensive records of miscarriages and stillbirths can't be obtained. But records at one hospital show miscarriages in January and February were double the same period in 2023. ____ This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.
