At least 20 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight and into Saturday, according to local health officials. The 20-month war with Hamas has raged on even as Israel has opened a new front with heavy strikes on Iran that sparked retaliatory drone and missile attacks.

Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. The Prime Minister’s office said that the body of Thai citizen Nattapong Pinta was returned to Israel in a special military operation.

At least 17 Palestinians were killed early Saturday morning, the second day of Eid al-Adha, in Israeli strikes and gunfire in the southern Gaza governorates of Khan Younis and Rafah, according to Palestinian sources.
