Israeli Strikes Kill 13 in 24 Hours; Gaza Death Toll Hits 43,985
The Israeli military has continued its airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 13 people and injuring at least 85 others within the past 24 hours. This escalation brings the overall death toll in Gaza to approximately 43,985 since the start of the conflict. These recent attacks hit multiple locations, causing widespread destruction. Humanitarian organizations have reported significant challenges in providing aid due to the ongoing military actions, while Gaza's medical infrastructure is under severe strain due to the high number of casualties.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have focused their operations on dismantling Hamas’ military capabilities, targeting weapon depots and militant leaders, though civilian casualties continue to mount. Meanwhile, international calls for ceasefires and humanitarian relief efforts are intensifying. The situation has been further complicated by the collapse of ceasefire talks and the growing toll on Gaza's civilian population.
