💔 Gaza Wakes to Tragedy: Over 30 Lives Lost in Overnight Air Strikes
The skies over Gaza lit up once again as Israeli air strikes shattered the silence of the night, leaving at least 30 Palestinians dead, according to Palestinian media and medics.
In the northern town of Beit Lahiya, two homes were damaged, and the hearts of its residents even more so. The late-night attacks claimed the lives of at least 20 people in this small community, as reported by the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
Meanwhile, in the central town of Al-Zawayda, four more souls were lost around midnight. The sorrow didn't end there; additional strikes in Gaza City and Deir Al-Balah added to the growing toll, with six more people killed.
The Israeli military stated that its forces had \"eliminated terrorists\" in the central Gaza Strip and Jabalia area but offered few details. Residents of Gaza, however, see these actions as part of an intensified effort to empty northern towns and refugee camps, pushing people southward.
With more than a year of conflict weighing heavily on the region, over 43,300 Palestinians have been killed, and much of Gaza lies in ruins. The war, ignited on October 7, 2023, after Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, continues to cast a long shadow over both Palestinians and Israelis.
As the world watches, the people of Gaza endure another day of grief and uncertainty, yearning for peace in the face of relentless conflict. 🕊️
