Israeli strikes across Gaza kill 25 Palestinians, health ministry says
Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 25 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The strikes took place on Monday in response to rockets fired from Gaza towards southern Israel.
The Israeli military stated that the airstrikes targeted Hamas military sites in response to the continued violence emanating from Gaza. Israel has accused Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, of using the Palestinian population as human shields by operating within civilian areas.
Hamas, on the other hand, condemned the Israeli strikes as “barbaric aggression” and vowed to retaliate. The group argued that it is defending the Palestinian people against Israeli occupation and aggression.
The recent escalation comes amid mounting tensions in Jerusalem, where Palestinian protests have been met with Israeli police crackdowns in the past days. The clashes have also ignited international concerns, with the United Nations calling for immediate de-escalation and dialogue to prevent further loss of life.
Both sides seem entrenched in their positions, with Israel prioritizing security concerns and Hamas focusing on what it perceives as resistance against occupation.
