47 Palestinians killed in ‘Israeli’ airstrikes on Gaza since early Saturday
At least 47 Palestinians were killed in a new wave of ‘Israeli’ airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since early Saturday, according to medical sources in the besieged territory.
The dead include 23 people in Gaza City and the northern areas of the Strip, while dozens more were wounded, some critically, the sources said.
Hospitals across the enclave reported that the air raids struck multiple areas, causing widespread destruction to residential buildings and infrastructure. Among the victims were women and children, while overwhelmed hospitals continue to treat the wounded under dire medical conditions.
The ‘Israeli’ military has not released an official statement detailing the reasons behind the strikes or the intended targets.
In response, Palestinian authorities condemned the attacks as part of an ongoing assault on the Palestinian people and urged the international community to intervene to protect civilians.
The escalation comes amid continued tensions in the region, with Gaza under a crippling blockade and facing a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Human rights organizations have reiterated calls for an immediate halt to the violence and the protection of civilians in accordance with international law.
