An Israeli airstrike kills nine Palestinians at a police station in Gaza on Wednesday, medics say. The reports say the attack results in multiple deaths among people present at the station.
Both outlets link the strike to ongoing efforts to advance a U.S.-backed plan to end the war, noting that it occurs shortly after U.S. envoy Jared Kushner completes a trip to the region. Cyprus Mail adds that the visit does not produce progress toward Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in the enclave. While the accounts agree on the casualties and the location, they differ in emphasis: Japan Today focuses on the timing relative to Kushner’s trip, while Cyprus Mail also highlights police-related sources and the lack of movement on the proposed end-of-war plan.
