Israeli airstrikes kill over 70 Palestinians across Gaza
At least 70 Palestinians, including many children, were killed on Sunday in a series of intensified Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and local reports. The bombardment struck residential areas, shelters, and makeshift tents housing displaced families, amid ongoing military aggression by Israeli occupation forces.
In Gaza City, Israeli warplanes bombed homes in the Sheikh Radwan, al-Nasr, and al-Tuffah neighborhoods, killing over 42 people. Eyewitnesses reported that most victims were women and children, many of whom were sleeping when the strikes occurred. Several people remain trapped under rubble, with medical teams unable to reach them due to continued attacks.
A drone strike also hit a car in northern Gaza City, killing three Palestinians, while another airstrike on a home in al-Daraj killed three members of the same family overnight.
In western Gaza, seven people, including children, were killed when warplanes targeted a shelter in the al-Shati' refugee camp. Medical staff at al-Shifa Hospital described horrific scenes, with victims arriving in pieces and dozens wounded.
Southern Gaza saw some of the deadliest strikes. In Khan Younis, at least 26 Palestinians, including children and a pregnant woman, were killed when Israeli forces targeted tent encampments in the al-Mawasi area. Additional victims were pulled from the rubble following a strike near the al-Albani Mosque.
In central Gaza, an Israeli drone strike killed eight members of a single family in the Nuseirat refugee camp, while another strike killed three more. A Palestinian fisherman was also injured by Israeli shelling off the coast of Deir al-Balah.
Escalation in Northern and Eastern Gaza
Israeli bombardment of northern and eastern Gaza continues, with artillery shells landing near the Hamza Mosque in al-Daraj and widespread destruction reported in civilian areas. Homes have been demolished in repeated attacks on eastern Gaza City and adjacent neighborhoods.
On Saturday, Israeli forces carried out a massacre in the "al-Mukhayyam 2" area of Nuseirat, killing eight Palestinians, five of them children, and wounding 18, mostly minors.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. "Israel" also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
As the violence escalates, a potential ceasefire deal remains uncertain, with "Israel" sending a delegation to Qatar amid negotiations riddled with political obstacles.
