An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City has left many dead, according to health officials in the area. The attack, which took place early Thursday morning, targeted a residential building in the city, causing significant damage and loss of life.
Health officials in Gaza City have reported that at least 10 people were killed in the airstrike, including women and children. Many others were injured in the attack, with some in critical condition. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue in the area.
The Israeli military has confirmed that they carried out the airstrike, stating that it was in response to rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel. The military claims that the building targeted in the attack was being used by Hamas militants for military purposes, including the storage of weapons.
This latest escalation of violence comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. In recent weeks, there has been an increase in rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel, prompting retaliatory airstrikes from the Israeli military.
The international community has condemned the violence and called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life. The United Nations has urged both sides to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The situation in Gaza City remains tense, with residents living in fear of further airstrikes and rocket attacks. The ongoing violence has taken a heavy toll on the civilian population, who are caught in the crossfire of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
As the death toll continues to rise in Gaza City, it is clear that a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is needed to prevent further bloodshed and destruction. The international community must come together to support efforts for peace and reconciliation in the region, and to ensure the safety and well-being of all civilians caught up in the conflict.
