Palestinian mourners gather for the funeral of three people killed in Jenin in an Israeli air strike on their vehicle. The Israeli military said it had "eliminated" Ahmed Barakat, who it accused of a May 2023 attack that killed an Israeli settler. Jenin and its adjacent refugee camp are a stronghold of armed Palestinian groups opposing Israel, which has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Israeli troops regularly carry out incursions into Palestinian communities but until several months ago had rarely struck the West Bank from the air. IMAGES
Smoke rises in Gaza City as efforts to hammer out a temporary truce in Gaza intensified Tuesday after months of war that have devastated the Palestinian territory and pushed hundreds of thousands to the brink of famine. IMAGES

Pro-Israeli demonstrators gather outside the BBC headquarters in London, decrying the violence committed against the hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The rally comes as the Israel-Hamas war nears its fourth month after beginning on October 7, 2023, when a deadly Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli data. Some 250 people were also taken hostage during the attack, with 132 remaining in Gaza. The territory's Hamas-run health ministry says that Israel's military response has left at least 27,365 people dead. IMAGES
