At least 12 Palestinians killed and more injured in Gaza after Israeli airstrikes
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza resulted in at least 12 Palestinian deaths and numerous injuries amid accusations of ceasefire violations by Hamas.
On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip led to the deaths of at least 12 Palestinians and left many others injured. The Israeli military claims that these strikes were conducted in response to violations of a ceasefire agreement by Hamas. Among those killed were five victims from an airstrike that hit a tent accommodating displaced individuals in the northern city of Jabalia, as reported by Gaza's civil defense agency, which operates under Hamas's authority.
In addition to the strike in Jabalia, further airstrikes in Khan Younis claimed five more lives, highlighting the continuing violence despite the recent U.S.-brokered truce aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Hamas. Reports also mention fatalities from Israeli shelling in Gaza City and gunfire in Beit Lahia. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem condemned the airstrikes, labeling them a new 'massacre' against displaced Palestinians and indicating a severe violation of the ceasefire, as tensions persist just ahead of a notable meeting involving U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
The incident illustrates the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the ongoing conflict, raising concerns about humanitarian conditions in Gaza, especially as political dialogues seek to address the situation. As violence continues, the implications for both the local population and broader geopolitical stability remain severe, with potential impacts on international diplomatic efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region.
