Israel expands ground invasion in Gaza as ceasefire talks stall, leading to increased casualties and international condemnation.

At least 21 people died, according to Palestinian health officials, with more than half of the victims being women and children.

At least 18 Palestinians have been killed after an Israeli drone strike targeted a Hamas police unit attempting to assert control over a market in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, a doctor and eyewitnesses told the BBC.
