Overview
- Israeli strikes across Gaza on November 19–20 left at least 25 dead, with hospitals later reporting 33 fatalities, according to Palestinian sources that cannot be independently verified.
- The Israeli military said the attacks responded to gunfire at soldiers near Khan Yunis in violation of the truce, while Hamas denied shooting and urged Washington to enforce the ceasefire.
- On November 21 the army reported an airstrike in Rafah that killed six suspects emerging from a tunnel behind the "yellow line," with five others surrendering and taken into custody.
- EU foreign ministers advanced plans to back the US-led framework by using the Eupol Copps mission to train about 3,000 Palestinian police as an initial step toward a new Gaza force under a recent UN resolution.
- Israel also struck targets in southern Lebanon that it linked to Hezbollah, and Lebanon’s state news agency NNA confirmed airstrikes in several towns.
