DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel is pressing ahead with its new military offensive in Gaza despite mounting international criticism. The Israeli military launched airstrikes Tuesday that health officials said killed at least 85 Palestinians. Israeli officials said they also allowed in dozens more trucks carrying aid. It was not immediately clear whether the desperately needed supplies were reaching any of the over 2 million people in Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade for nearly three months. Experts have warned about the high risk of famine. Under pressure, Israel agreed this week to allow a minimal amount of aid into the Palestinian territory.
