At Least 81 People Killed in Israeli Strikes in Gaza, Hamas-Run Health Ministry Says
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has declared that at least 81 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, as the conflict between the two territories continues. The latest escalation in hostilities between Israel and Gaza has also resulted in the injury of at least 100 others. Among the deceased are several children, marking a grim development in the ongoing confrontation.
Clashes and Hostilities on Both Sides
While Israeli authorities have acknowledged the airstrikes, they have not confirmed the number of fatalities. The Israeli military maintains that the targets were Hamas fortifications and terrorist infrastructure. The heightened hostilities come amid growing tensions between the two sides, with Hamas launching rocket attacks on Israeli cities, and Israel carrying out airstrikes in retaliation.
Resumption of Clashes on the Eve of Ramadan
The current escalation comes just weeks before the start of Ramadan, a time of heightened religious significance. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing for decades and has claiming thousands of lives, fueling divisions between communities, and perpetuating a cycle of violence.
