    An Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least 16 individuals, primarily women and children, as reported by local health officials early on Monday.

    Among the casualties were at least five children and four women, according to the emergency service of the Gaza Health Ministry, regarding the strike on a school in the Jabaliya area. They also noted that several people sustained injuries.

    The Israeli military asserts that it targets only militants and attributes civilian casualties to Hamas, citing their operations in densely populated zones. There was no immediate response to the most recent strike.

    The attack came as U.S. President Donald Trump is heading to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates this week.

    After ending a ceasefire two months ago, Israel is intensifying the war in the Gaza Strip, where its 10-week blockade on food, medicine and other supplies is worsening a humanitarian crisis.

    Here is the latest:

    Family of Israeli-American hostage set to be freed expresses joy and thanks Trump

    Edan Alexander’s family said in a statement that it “received the greatest gift imaginable — news that our beautiful son Edan is returning home after 583 days in captivity in Gaza.”

    Alexander’s parents, who live in the United States, were making their way to Israel ahead of the expected release.

    The family said it was deeply grateful to Trump and his administration for their efforts to secure their Edan’s release.

    It also urged the Israeli government to continue efforts to free all the hostages. “Please don’t stop. We hope our son’s release begins negotiations for all 58 remaining hostages, ending this nightmare for them and their families.”

    Some families of hostages uneasy over the planned release of American-Israeli hostage

    The relatives of Israeli hostages have welcomed the announcement that an American-Israeli hostage would be freed by Hamas as a gesture to President Trump — but there is also unease.

    Some said Alexander was singled out for freedom because of his American citizenship and said they were worried about the fate of the other 23 living and roughly 35 dead captives who remain in Gaza.

    “Trump is rescuing him. Who will rescue Gali and Ziv?,” Maccabit Mayer, the aunt of sibling hostages Gali and Ziv Berman, told Israeli Army Radio on Monday. She said she was sorry the twin brothers don’t have “the right citizenship.”

    Also, some of the relatives accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not doing enough to free their loved ones, saying his insistence on continuing the war in Gaza is politically motivated.

    Hamas says it will release last living American hostage in Gaza in a ceasefire effort

    Hamas says the last living American hostage in Gaza will be released as part of efforts to establish a ceasefire, reopen crossings into the Israeli-blockaded territory and resume aid delivery to the battered enclave.

    Two Hamas officials have told The Associated Press they expect the release of Edan Alexander in the next 48 hours.

    Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed in a message to the AP that Hamas has agreed to release Alexander as a good will gesture toward Trump.

    The announcement of the first hostage release since Israel shattered a ceasefire in March comes shortly before Trump visits the Middle East this week. Alexander is an Israeli-American soldier who grew up in the United States.

    Famine looms as Israel presses its blockade of Gaza

    Hospital patients are among the most vulnerable as Palestinians across Gaza struggle to feed themselves.

    Israel’s blockade on food and other supplies entering the territory is now in its third month and hospitals are unable to provide food. Families must bring whatever they can find to help loved ones recover and doctors say patients have lost weight in recent weeks.

    Aid groups say malnutrition is on the rise across Gaza. Food distributions have ended and charity kitchens are rapidly closing. Markets are empty of almost everything but canned goods and small amounts of vegetables, and prices have been rising.
