At least 30 Palestinians were killed in a wave of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, according to local hospitals, marking one of the deadliest escalations since the ceasefire took effect. The strikes hit several densely populated areas, including parts of Gaza City and Khan Younis, leaving emergency crews struggling to reach survivors under the rubble. Medical staff reported that women and children were among the dead, with dozens more injured. The sudden surge in casualties has heightened fears that the fragile ceasefire could unravel, as both sides accuse each other of violating its terms. The latest violence comes amid ongoing humanitarian strain in Gaza, where shortages of medical supplies, fuel, and clean water continue to deepen the crisis. Residents describe a growing sense of uncertainty as they brace for the possibility of further escalation.
Iran to Decide on Response to Israeli Attack, Says Supreme Leader
In the wake of a recent Israeli airstrike on Iranian territory, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on Iranian officials to determine the most effective way to showcase Iran’s power in response. The attack, which occurred two nights ago, has heightened tensions between the two nations.
According to Iran’s official IRNA news agency, Khamenei emphasized the importance of a strategic and calculated response that would demonstrate Iran’s strength without escalating the conflict unnecessarily. The Supreme Leader’s directive comes as both countries navigate a complex geopolitical landscape, with regional stability hanging in the balance.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the airstrike as “precise and powerful,” claiming it achieved all intended objectives, including targeting Iranian defense capabilities and missile production facilities. Meanwhile, Khamenei urged Iranian officials to carefully assess the situation and respond in a manner that underscores Iran’s resilience and strategic capabilities.
The international community is closely monitoring the developments, as any significant escalation could have far-reaching implications for regional and global security.
