The Gaza Strip is in the throes of a medical crisis as dozens of patients, including a 10-year-old boy with kidney failure, have been evacuated for treatment amid Israel's military offensive in the region. The escalating conflict has severely disrupted health care services, prompting hospitals to close and pushing medical care to the brink of collapse.

In a broader context, international military activities are intensifying tensions in the region. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed the United States launched a series of airstrikes targeting their facilities in Sanaa. Moreover, France has also conducted airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria as part of its continued efforts against terrorism in the Levant.

Adding to the complexity, Israel has acknowledged the assassination of a senior Hamas leader in Beirut, asserting its strategic actions amid ongoing hostilities. This revelation comes as Israeli authorities report arrests and interrogations of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, amid allegations of mistreatment by international bodies.
