Deadly Israeli Airstrike Hits Gaza Tent Camp
At least 24 Palestinians lost their lives after an Israeli airstrike struck a tent encampment housing displaced families in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip. This devastating attack, confirmed by local health authorities, occurred amid ongoing mediation efforts hosting a new round of talks between Israel and Hamas.
Israel has intensified its military offensive in the Gaza enclave, significantly increasing bombings that have claimed hundreds of lives over the last three days. Medics reported that among those killed in the latest strike were women and children. Additionally, dozens suffered injuries, and several tents were set ablaze.
Escalation Amid Ceasefire Talks
The Gaza health ministry stated that Israeli strikes in recent days have resulted in hundreds of Palestinian casualties despite a recent visit by a US presidential delegation. In response, Hamas condemned the airstrike as a “new brutal crime,” holding the US administration responsible for the rising tensions.
While the Israeli military did not immediately comment on the most recent attack, an earlier statement confirmed ongoing extensive strikes across Gaza as part of Israel’s strategy to meet its military objectives.
Mediation and Stalemate
Egyptian and Qatari mediators, supported by the United States, began indirect ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas on Saturday. However, sources close to the talks in Doha revealed no significant progress has been made, with both sides firmly maintaining their positions.
As the conflict continues, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with displaced families caught in the crossfire and international efforts striving to halt the violence.
