Crisis in Gaza: Israeli Strikes Kill 30 as Global Focus Shifts to Iran

Israeli gunfire and airstrikes have killed at least 30 people across the Gaza Strip, according to local health authorities. The latest attacks targeted homes in the Maghazi refugee camp and Zeitoun neighborhood, as well as a tent encampment in Khan Younis.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they were investigating the deaths and claimed their operations aimed to dismantle Hamas military capabilities while taking precautions to mitigate civilian harm.

As the world’s attention shifts, Palestinians continue to struggle with severe food shortages and displacement, raising concerns about the long-term impact of the ongoing violence.
