U.S. Department of Defense announced Defense Secretary Austin will host his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, at the Pentagon on October 9 to discuss ongoing security developments in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continue to launch hundreds of airstrikes, artillery bombardments, and commit atrocities across the Gaza Strip, resulting in bloody massacres against civilians.
These actions, along with the incursions, have created a catastrophic humanitarian situation, with over 90% of the population displaced due to the siege.
