News Summary at 10:19 a.m. EDT

The Gaza conflict reached its 1,000th day since a Hamas-led attack on Israel, leaving both sides facing an uncertain future and fragile ceasefire efforts. More than 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are dealing with displacement and limited humanitarian aid, while Israeli forces control much of the territory and aim to expand further. The Oct. 2023 attack killed about 1,200 people in Israel and saw 251 taken hostage. Israel’s retaliation has resulted in more than 73,000 Palestinian deaths, and violence continues despite ceasefire attempts. In separate reporting, Iran’s joint military command warned oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz to use approved routes or face a “forceful response,” while a major Russian drone and missile attack killed at least 20 civilians in Kyiv.
