Israel's war on Gaza — now in its 149th day — has killed at least 30,320 Palestinians, mostly children and women, and wounded 71,533 others.Hopes for the first pause in fighting since November rose last week after a previous round of talks mediated by Qatar and Egypt in Doha and indications from US President Joe Biden that the agreement was close.

The airdrop was coordinated with the Royal Jordanian Air Force, which said it had two food airdrops in northern Gaza and has conducted several rounds in recent months.Three Israeli soldiers have been killed and 14 injured when explosive devices were detonated inside a building in the Gaza city of Khan Younis, the army said.
