Two Israeli airstrikes in the West Bank killed nine Palestinian militants on Saturday amid rising tensions over the Gaza war and potential regional escalation. The strikes targeted a vehicle near Tulkarem, killing five Hamas militants, and later four other militants who opened fire on Israeli troops. Over 590 Palestinians have died in the West Bank since the Gaza conflict began in October. Meanwhile, cease-fire talks in Cairo continue as regional tensions mount following the killings of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. The U.S. and other nations urge citizens to leave Lebanon, fearing wider conflict.
