Israel escalates attacks on Gaza, killing 22, as a truce agreement nears finalization

Israeli forces have intensified their attacks on Gaza, targeting a school-turned-shelter and several homes across the region, resulting in at least 22 fatalities since early this morning.

 These strikes occur despite claims from mediators that a ceasefire agreement is within reach, with US President Joe Biden and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi jointly urging Israel and Hamas to finalize the deal.
