DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s military has begun a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day as part of measures including airdrops as concerns grow over surging hunger. Israel faces international criticism over its conduct in the 21-month war as more reports emerge of starvation deaths. The military said Sunday the “tactical pause” in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Muwasi would increase humanitarian aid entering the territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has to allow in “minimal” aid. As the military had warned, combat operations continued otherwise and at least 38 Palestinians were killed.
