On Tuesday, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of ten family members related to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. This came as tensions were already high along Israel’s border with Lebanon and amid pressure from the United States to avoid further escalation.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was in Washington at the time of the attack, where local authorities reported that a bombing occurred at an Al Shati refugee camp. The Gaza Civil Defense spokesman, Mahmud Basal, stated that several people remain trapped under rubble following the bombing.
According to Palestinian sources, a family residence in the Shati refugee camp was bombed on Tuesday morning, killing at least 13 people, including ten members of the Haniyeh family. Hamas is calling for a truce agreement that includes a permanent ceasefire and an end to Israeli occupation in Gaza. However, Netanyahu has rejected this demand.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in significant casualties among civilians, who are bearing the brunt of violence. In addition to military attacks, Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza since 2007, leading to severe shortages of essential supplies like food, fuel, water
