At least 81 people have been reported killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The attacks took place on Monday, with the ministry stating that among the dead were 17 children and seven women. The strikes come in response to rockets fired by Hamas towards Jerusalem, which resulted in injuries but no fatalities.
The Israeli military has confirmed the airstrikes, saying they targeted Hamas operatives and facilities, including a vast tunnel network used by militants. The military defended its actions as necessary to protect Israeli civilians from Hamas rocket attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed this sentiment, stating that the country would “continue to strike at the terrorist targets.”
Hamas, on the other hand, condemned the Israeli strikes as “aggression” and vowed to retaliate. The group sees itself as defending Palestinians against Israeli occupation and has historical animosity towards Israel. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem accused Israel of targeting civilians and called on the international community to intervene.
The latest escalation in violence has raised concerns about a potential full-scale conflict between Israel and Hamas. The international community, including the United Nations and several countries, has called for restraint and a de-escalation of tensions to prevent further loss of life.
Overall, the situation remains tense, with both sides showing a willingness to continue strikes and counter-strikes. The civilian casualties highlight the devastating impact of the conflict on the residents of Gaza and the need for a diplomatic solution to prevent further bloodshed.
Source Analysis:
Hamas-run health ministry – The source is likely biased in favor of Hamas and may have a vested interest in portraying Israel in a negative light to garner sympathy and support for their cause.
Israeli military – The source has a vested interest in justifying the airstrikes as necessary for national security and may downplay civilian casualties.
Fact Check:
Fact 1 – Verified fact: At least 81 people were reported killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, confirmed by the Hamas-run health ministry.
Fact 2 – Unconfirmed claims: The number of children and women among the dead (17 children and seven women) as reported by the health ministry. This information needs further verification to establish the exact demographics of the casualties.
