Renewed Conflict in Gaza: Over 85 Lives Lost in Israeli Strikes

In a tragic escalation of violence, Israeli airstrikes across Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 85 Palestinians, according to local health authorities. The strikes targeted multiple homes, leaving behind devastation and grief. This renewed assault follows the breakdown of a ceasefire that had provided a brief respite to the region.
