Israel claimed that the strikes on Saturday were carried out as a response to gunfire directed at its soldiers. They came as a result of renewed international interest in Gaza since the UN Security Council on Monday approved a United States strategy for territory security and governance.
It authorizes the establishment of a global stabilization force for security, approves a transitional authority that will be overseen by US President Donald Trump, and provides a roadmap for a possible future state for Palestinians.
In Gaza City’s Remal neighborhood, Rami Mhanna, managing director of al-Shifa Hospital, where the casualties were taken, reported that one of the strikes targeted a vehicle, killing 11 Palestinians and injuring more than 20 people. According to hospital director Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the majority of the injuries were suffered by children.
At least three people were killed and 11 were hurt in a house attack near al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza, and 16 were hurt in another attack on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to the hospital.
According to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, a second bomb targeted a house in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza also claimed the lives of three people, including a woman.
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel has violated the US-brokered ceasefire at least 497 times in 44 days, killing hundreds of Palestinians.
342 civilians have been killed in the attacks, with the majority of the victims being children, women, and the elderly.
As required by the ceasefire, Israel continues to severely restrict the arrival of desperately needed medical supplies and aid into the devastated enclave.
