At least 30 Palestinians were killed in the latest Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to the Gaza Civil Defense, as strikes targeted homes, vehicles, and tents.
The number of Palestinians killed in the latest Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip has risen to 30, according to Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense.
“At least 30 people have been killed and dozens more were injured following Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip. Our teams continue to work to recover bodies and the injured from under the rubble,” Bassal told AFP.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bassal reported that at least nine people, including women and children, had been killed in separate strikes throughout the day. These included:
A strike on a residential building in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City
A strike on a civilian vehicle in Khan Younis, southern Gaza
A strike on a refugee tent in the Zawaya area of central Gaza
Rafah hoax: Netanyahu's pretext for Gaza bloodshed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest airstrikes on Gaza appear less a direct response to Hamas and more a continuation of "Israel’s" longstanding policy of manufacturing pretexts to justify genocide.
Despite initial hesitation amid US resistance, Netanyahu proceeded with the strikes after citing an alleged attack on Israeli troops in Rafah, an incident that Hamas has categorically denied.
In a statement, Hamas affirmed it had “no connection to the incident in Rafah” and reiterated its “commitment to the ceasefire agreement.” It further condemned what it called the “criminal bombardment carried out by the occupying fascist army on areas of the Gaza Strip,” describing it as “a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh under the auspices of President Trump.”
Hamas concluded its message by urging mediators to “take immediate action to pressure the occupying forces, curb their brutal escalation against civilians in the Gaza Strip, halt their serious violations of the ceasefire, and ensure full compliance with all its terms.”
