Israeli strikes kill 33 in Gaza, Hamas-run civil defence says, as Trump insists ceasefire remains
Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 33 people in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the region’s Hamas-run civil defense organization. The attacks occurred on Monday, with targets including residential buildings and a cultural center. The Israeli military stated that the strikes were in response to ongoing airborne firebombs launched from Gaza towards southern Israel.
Hamas, the militant group governing the Gaza Strip, condemned the Israeli strikes as “barbaric aggression” and vowed to retaliate. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group also issued a statement promising to respond to the Israeli actions. Meanwhile, the Israeli military defends its actions as necessary measures to protect its citizens from threats emanating from Gaza.
Amid the escalating violence, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed confidence in maintaining the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that has been in place since 2014. Despite the recent hostilities, Trump remains optimistic about the situation in the region.
Tensions between Israel and Palestinian factions have been heightened in recent weeks, with a surge in violent incidents along the Gaza-Israel border. The international community has called for restraint from all parties involved to prevent further escalation of violence in the region.
