Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Gaza

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in significant casualties, with at least 38 Palestinians killed since Thursday, including children and police officials. Strikes in southern Gaza targeted the Hamas-run interior ministry and a humanitarian zone, claiming the lives of prominent security figures and civilians. The ongoing conflict has led to over 45,500 Palestinian deaths since its escalation began in October 2023, displacing much of Gaza's population and exacerbating humanitarian crises. Reports indicate that local civil defense teams are facing threats and challenges in their rescue efforts as they navigate the destruction caused by continuous bombardments. Conditions for displaced individuals are dire, with many suffering from severe cold in makeshift shelters following recent rainstorms. Amidst this turmoil, Gaza's infrastructure remains heavily damaged, and residents continue to endure relentless violence.
