In Gaza City, on Tuesday, two young boys were killed in an Israeli airstrike while waiting for humanitarian aid with their mother in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. The boys, aged 7 and 10, were identified as brothers by their devastated mother, who survived the attack but remains in critical condition.
Israeli military officials have stated that the airstrike was targeting Hamas militants launching incendiary balloons into southern Israel, emphasizing that they take precautions to minimize civilian casualties. They expressed regret for the loss of innocent lives but placed blame on Hamas for using civilians as human shields.
Hamas, on the other hand, condemned the Israeli strike as a “war crime” and accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians. They called for international intervention to hold Israel accountable for what they perceive as unjustified aggression against Palestinian civilians.
The tragic incident has once again highlighted the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with both sides pointing fingers at each other for escalating violence and civilian casualties. The international community has called for restraint and a return to negotiations to achieve a lasting peace in the region.
