Deadly Airstrikes Rock Gaza: Rising Tensions and Humanitarian Crisis

Israeli airstrikes killed 43 Palestinians in Gaza, including 11 in a designated humanitarian zone. The strikes targeted Hamas militants, killing Gaza's police chief and others. The violence follows Hamas's 2023 attack on Israel, and with ongoing war, the humanitarian crisis continues amid rising death tolls and widespread displacement.

In a recent wave of violence, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 43 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, with casualties including women and children in designated safe zones.

Key targets included senior figures in Gaza's police department, escalating long-standing tensions between Israel and Gaza's Hamas leadership. In a statement, Israel's military justified the strikes as targeting active militants, with international laws guiding their operations.

The ongoing conflict traces back to Hamas's October 2023 offensive on Israel, highlighting the escalating humanitarian crisis, as displacement reaches critical levels with over 45,500 Palestinians reported dead.
