Israeli strikes kill at least 25 in Gaza and Huckabee makes first appearance as US ambassador

Israeli airstrikes across Gaza have killed at least 25 people including children as the new U.S. ambassador to Israel made his first public appearance in Jerusalem. Gaza hospitals say among the dead early Friday were 10 people in the urban Jabaliya refugee camp, including eight from the same house. The strikes come a day after more than two dozen people died in Gaza as Israel ramps up attacks to pressure Hamas to return the hostages and disarm. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee appeared at the Western Wall, the holiest Jewish prayer site in Jerusalem's Old City, where he inserted a prayer handwritten by President Donald Trump.
