On April 24, Palestinian editors focused on a sharp escalation in Gaza, where Israeli strikes killed at least 12 people, mostly police officers, in what rights groups called a deliberate attempt to spread chaos. The day began with reports of ceasefire extensions in Lebanon and US-Iran tensions, but by afternoon, the dominant story shifted to the targeted attacks on police vehicles and a home in Gaza City and Khan Younis. Meanwhile, Trump extended the Lebanon ceasefire by three weeks and sought meetings between Aoun and Netanyahu, but Hezbollah rejected direct talks. In the West Bank, local elections were set for the next day, and a Talmudic school was approved in Sheikh Jarrah. Iran threatened to block oil exports if its own were halted, and the US sent envoys to Pakistan for nuclear talks.
