According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, at least 15 Palestinians died and several others were injured in a bombing by Israeli warplanes this evening in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and Khan Yunis in the south.
Paris announced that a French and a Jordanian military transport plane dropped 7.7 tons of medical supplies to a field hospital in the Gaza Strip as part of a joint operation. “The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical: in a difficult context, France and Jordan have provided assistance to the population and those who help them,” wrote French President Emmanuel Macron in a post on X last night. The operation was carried out at night from Thursday to Friday and aimed to provide medical assistance to the Jordanian field hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis. The first airdrop by a Western country into the Gaza Strip was agreed upon during Macron's recent visit to Jordan last month, the French presidency said. Both C-130 aircraft had French and Jordanian troops on board as the operation was closely coordinated, Paris added.
