Israel prepares for counterattack amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Retaliatory attacks loom as cities organize shelters, Palestinians protest in the West Bank, and US forces increase readiness.

Israel's Prime Minister and security expert comment, while Biden expresses concern. Ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip are endangered by attacks on Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

Families of hostages face fading hopes for a peace deal, as ongoing negotiations stall. The US deploys fighter jets and warships to the region, and major airlines cancel flights.

Israeli air strikes in the West Bank result in multiple deaths, escalating the conflict. The UNRWA calls the situation a 'silent war' and the ICJ rules Israel's occupation unlawful.

The US plans to send more combat aircraft to the Middle East in response to threats from Iran and its proxies, further heightening tensions. Mossad allegedly hires Iranian agents to kill Hamas leader Hanija, leading to numerous arrests in Iran.
