Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Cafe Kills Dozens

News summary

An Israeli airstrike on the Al-Baqa beachfront cafe in Gaza City killed at least 30 to 41 people and injured dozens more, with many critically wounded, according to hospital officials. The cafe, popular for internet access and frequented by students, journalists, and remote workers, was one of the few remaining gathering spots in the city. Among the dead were women, children, and at least one local journalist, raising the total number of journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023 to 228. Videos showed extensive destruction and rescue efforts at the site. The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas operatives and claimed to have taken precautions to minimize civilian casualties, while announcing an investigation into the strike. The attack was part of a broader escalation across Gaza that resulted in at least 60 deaths in one day as ceasefire negotiations continued.
