Eleven killed after Israel hits bus in Gaza, Hamas-run civil defence says
Eleven individuals lost their lives today in Gaza after a bus was hit by a targeted strike carried out by Israel, according to the Hamas-run civil defense in the region. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on a busy street in Gaza City. The bus was reportedly carrying both civilians and members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Israeli officials have stated that the strike was a response to recent rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel, which have escalated tension in the region in recent days. They have justified the action as a necessary measure to protect Israeli citizens from further threats.
Hamas, on the other hand, has condemned the Israeli attack as a disproportionate and indiscriminate act of aggression against the Palestinian people. They have vowed to retaliate and escalate their resistance against what they perceive as Israeli occupation and oppression.
The international community has expressed concern over the escalating violence in the region and called for restraint from all parties involved. The United Nations has urged both Israel and Hamas to de-escalate the situation and return to the negotiating table to seek a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict.
This latest incident underscores the ongoing tensions and fragile nature of the situation in the Gaza Strip, where any flare-up of violence can have devastating consequences for the civilian population caught in the crossfire.
