Israeli Airstrikes Escalate Crisis in Gaza

Recent Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant casualties in Gaza, with at least 29 Palestinians killed in various locations, according to WAFA. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports three massacres causing 33 deaths and 156 injuries, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as ambulances are unable to reach many victims trapped under rubble. Amid these tensions, Peace Now accuses the IDF of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, claims denied by the IDF, which states its operations are targeted at Hamas. The situation further deteriorates as Israel halts the UNRWA agreement, impacting aid operations. Prime Minister Netanyahu has dismissed allegations that Israel's actions aim to depopulate northern Gaza for settlement expansion. The ongoing violence and alleged humanitarian abuses have drawn international concern and calls for clarification from Israeli leadership.
