In the shadow of failed diplomacy, an Israeli airstrike struck Gaza City's police headquarters, killing the women's police chief, several officers, and a 13-year-old girl — lives lost just days after a US envoy departed the region without a ceasefire agreement. The attack is a reminder that military operations do not wait for negotiating tables to settle, and that the distance between diplomatic ambition and ground-level reality can be measured in lives. Gaza's ongoing conflict continues to exact its toll on institutions and innocents alike, even as the world's envoys travel and speak.
