Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza including civilians seeking aid, health workers say
Israeli airstrikes have killed dozens of people in Gaza, including civilians who were seeking aid, according to health workers in the region. The attacks took place on Tuesday in the Gaza Strip, with reports of heavy bombings hitting residential areas. Health officials have stated that among the casualties were women and children who were in desperate need of medical assistance.
The Israeli military has defended its actions, stating that the airstrikes were targeting Hamas military sites in response to rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory. Israeli officials have accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields and operating within civilian populations deliberately. They have emphasized that they take precautions to minimize civilian casualties, including issuing warnings before attacks.
Meanwhile, Palestinian officials and human rights organizations have condemned the Israeli strikes, calling them disproportionate and a violation of international law. They have accused Israel of carrying out collective punishment against the people of Gaza and have called for the international community to intervene. The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the escalating violence and called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of civilian lives.
The latest escalation comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem. The situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging fire and fears of a broader conflict mounting.
