A heartbroken Palestinian mother who lost her child in the Israeli strikes has called on the world to witness their plight and the suffering of children in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli strikes on Friday killed 12 Palestinians, including Ameera Al-Shaer's 8-year-old child Hamdi Al-Shaer.

"We can't find food. We can't find water. What should I say, what should I say, what should I even speak? We can't find shelter and not even phone charging," Al-Shaer cried out in footage captured by a China Global Television Network (CGTN) stringer who visited Khan Younis, southern Gaza, to capture the aftermath of the attack.

"I wish you would come and see my condition and the shelter. Come and look at my children's miserable situation. Come see the sorrow, misery, and hardship. Come and see," she said.

Authorities said in a statement that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle belonging to the Palestinian police in the "Bir 19" area in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, causing casualties and injuries.

Local sources and eyewitnesses also said Israeli artillery shelled multiple residential houses near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

The developments came amid ongoing tensions and reported violations of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel since Oct 10, 2025.

As of Sunday, Gaza-based health authorities reported that 811 people have been killed, with 2,278 injured.

The overall death toll since October 2023 has risen to 72,587, with 172,381 injured.

Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said met with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi in Muscat on Sunday, and the two discussed regional situation and mediation efforts for ending the conflicts, the Omani Foreign Ministry said.

The Omani Sultan stressed that in dealing with various issues, dialog and diplomacy must be given priority in order to consolidate the foundation of peace.

He also shared Oman's views on advancing the mediation process, increasing the chances of reaching a sustainable political solution, and minimizing the impact of the conflict on people in the region.

Araghchi briefed the Omani Sultan on Iran's views on the current regional situation, and expressed his appreciation for Oman's role in promoting dialog and enhancing regional security and stability.
