In a night of intense conflict, Israeli airstrikes targeted northern Gaza, killing at least 33 individuals, including children, as reported by Palestinian health officials. The strikes came amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war with no resolution in sight despite international efforts for a ceasefire.

With casualty numbers rising and the humanitarian situation deteriorating, local hospitals are overwhelmed. The latest strike was in Beit Lahiya, claiming 19 lives. The Israeli military insists the attacks aim at Hamas militants but acknowledges civilian casualties.

As diplomatic talks falter, the region faces escalating violence. UN and aid organizations struggle to provide relief due to restricted access, while international mediators push for renewed ceasefire negotiations to alleviate the crisis.
