As the world focuses on Israel’s war with Iran, violence against Palestinians has scaled up in the occupied territories.

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House on Wednesday in an unprecedented meeting that risked worsening a disagreement with India over the president's claim that he stopped last month's conflict between the nuclear-armed South Asian foes.

Some Palestinians in Gaza said their plight was being forgotten as attention shifted to the air war between Israel and Iran.

Iran and Israel traded attacks early Thursday as their war continued to intensify nearly a week after it began. Israel expressed outrage at an Iranian missile striking the largest hospital in southern Israel.
