Israeli attacks in Gaza and the occupied West Bank have killed civilians, including a child, as violence continued across both territories, Al Jazeera reported.
The latest deaths add to mounting humanitarian concern and underline how two separate locations remain tied together by the same conflict, security policies and civilian exposure to harm.
Background
Gaza and the West Bank have endured repeated waves of violence, with aid agencies warning that civilians, and children in particular, bear the heaviest cost of the continuing escalation.
What happens next
Pressure is likely to grow on all parties for restraint and humanitarian access, even as each fresh incident hardens positions and complicates efforts to ease the wider crisis.
