Eleven killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza, rescuers say
Eleven civilians were killed in Gaza today as a result of Israeli airstrikes, according to local rescuers. The strikes occurred in the early hours of the morning in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, causing significant damage to residential buildings. Among the victims were four children and two women, the Gaza Health Ministry reported.
The Israeli military stated that the airstrikes were a response to earlier incendiary balloons launched from Gaza towards southern Israel. They reiterated their commitment to ensuring the security and safety of Israeli civilians and will continue to target sites associated with militant groups in Gaza.
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls Gaza, condemned the Israeli airstrikes and called for international intervention to stop the violence against Palestinians. They accused Israel of targeting innocent civilians and warned of potential retaliation if the attacks continue.
The United Nations has expressed grave concern over the escalation of violence in the region and urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further civilian casualties. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
The recent hostilities mark a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Gaza and have raised fears of a potential full-scale conflict. Both sides have so far shown no signs of backing down, further heightening concerns for the civilian population caught in the crossfire. The situation remains volatile, with the risk of more violence looming as both sides dig in their heels.
