News brief
Israel announced 10-hour daily pauses in fighting in three heavily populated areas and is allowing for air drops of 鈥渕inimal鈥 aid, coordinated by international agencies and local governments including Jordan鈥檚. It also intercepted another humanitarian aid vessel and detained the more than 20 international activists on board. The New York Times reported on emerging differences between the Israeli government and its military over whether Hamas had been routinely seizing aid over time, a central argument in Israel鈥檚 curtailment of aid since March. Meanwhile, at least 34 Palestinians were killed overnight, Gaza health officials said, in Israeli operations outside of the pause windows.
