Israeli Strikes Claim Lives in Gaza: A Tragic Day for Al-Shati and Al-Tuffah

 

In a devastating turn of events, Israeli attacks on districts of Gaza City have left at least 42 people dead, according to Ismail Al-Thawabta, the director of the Hamas-run government media office. The violence unfolded on Saturday, with one strike targeting houses in Al-Shati, one of Gaza’s historic refugee camps, resulting in the loss of 24 lives. An additional 18 Palestinians were killed in a separate strike on houses in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood.
