Israel struck the Gaza Strip, killing at least 30 people » Gazeta.kg

According to hospital information, airstrikes were directed at northern and southern areas of Gaza, including the city of Gaza and Khan Younis. The al-Shifa hospital reported a tragic incident where a mother and her three children, along with a relative, were killed as a result of a strike. Additionally, the Nasser hospital reported a fire that broke out after a strike on a tent camp, resulting in the deaths of seven people, including a man and his three children.

The Israel Defense Forces noted that the strikes were a response to violations of the ceasefire conditions and were aimed at Hamas and Islamic Jihad commanders. In a joint statement, the IDF and Shin Bet emphasized that any actions violating the ceasefire would be taken very seriously.

These airstrikes occurred against the backdrop of preparations for the opening of the Rafah border crossing in the south of the sector. Since the outbreak of the war in October 2023, all crossings into Gaza have remained closed, and Palestinians view the Rafah checkpoint as an important route for evacuating people in need of medical assistance outside the enclave.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, since the announcement of the ceasefire on October 10 of last year, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli military actions.
