Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed at least 12 people, according to health officials, as renewed violence deepens fears and worsens an already dire humanitarian situation.
Deadly Strikes Reported In Iran Across Multiple Areas
Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 12 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, in one of the deadliest days in recent weeks. The attacks reportedly struck several locations, including residential areas, triggering renewed fear among civilians already living under severe humanitarian strain.
Health officials said the victims included women and children, and that multiple people were brought to hospitals with critical injuries as emergency crews searched through rubble.
Homes and Tents Among Reported Targets
Local medical sources said the strikes hit homes in densely populated neighbourhoods as well as temporary shelters, including tents used by displaced families. Fires were reported at some impact sites, complicating rescue efforts and increasing the risk for those trapped nearby.
Hospitals in Gaza, already stretched beyond capacity, struggled to handle the influx of casualties amid shortages of fuel, medical supplies, and staff.
Violence Amid Fragile Calm
The latest strikes come during a period of fragile calm following months of intense fighting. While large-scale ground operations have slowed, airstrikes and sporadic attacks have continued, keeping tensions high.
Palestinian officials say civilian deaths have continued despite international calls for restraint. Israeli authorities, meanwhile, have repeatedly stated that military operations are aimed at armed groups and security threats.
Humanitarian Situation Remains Dire
The situation in Gaza remains critical. Border crossings have operated with restrictions, limiting the flow of aid, fuel, and medical evacuations. Aid agencies warn that continued violence further worsens conditions for civilians, many of whom have been displaced multiple times.
Residents described fear spreading quickly after the strikes, with families unsure where to seek safety as explosions echoed across the area.
Uncertain Days Ahead
As diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, events on the ground highlight how quickly the situation can escalate. For civilians in Gaza, each new strike brings renewed uncertainty, loss, and trauma, with no clear timeline for lasting stability.
