Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens Across Gaza, Day 29 of Conflict

On Monday, a significant escalation in violence in the Gaza Strip resulted in at least 21 Palestinian deaths and numerous injuries due to Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire. The Israeli military targeted various locations, including residential homes, a sports stadium where displaced individuals sought shelter, and civilian tents in Khan Younis, leading to multiple casualties, including children. Reports indicate that over 90 locations were struck by Israeli forces in a 48-hour period, with claims of targeting Hamas facilities and military infrastructure. Despite the military's assertions of targeting combatants, the high civilian toll has raised concerns among humanitarian organizations. Medical sources have highlighted the severe impact on hospitals and the urgent need for medical assistance amid ongoing hostilities. The violence has compounded the humanitarian crisis facing Gaza, already under siege for an extended period.
