Israel has bombed Gaza’s Beit Lahiya again, killing 19 Palestinians, just hours after a devastating strike killed 93 people, highlighting the escalating Gaza conflict violence. The latest bombing targeted homes belonging to the Al Louh family, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza. This attack comes less than a day after Israel’s military bombed a five-story building belonging to the Abu Nasr family, killing at least 93 people and wounding dozens more.
At least 25 children were among the dead, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported. The Israeli military claims it launched the offensive to stop Hamas fighters from regrouping in northern Gaza. However, over 100,000 people remain trapped without food and water, and dozens are buried under rubble, inaccessible to rescue workers.
Eyewitnesses describe the chaos and devastation. “There are martyrs all over the place,” said Ismail Ouaida, pointing to bodies under the rubble. A Palestinian woman lost multiple family members, including her sons, daughter, and grandchildren. “What wrong did they do to be slaughtered like this?” she asked.
The Kamal Adwan Hospital, the main medical facility in north Gaza, is overwhelmed with wounded patients but lacks staff and resources. Israeli forces arrested most of the hospital’s workers in a raid last week. The US and UN have expressed concern, calling the attack “horrifying” and urging a prompt investigation.
The UN’s Middle East peace envoy condemned the attack, citing serious concerns about violations of international humanitarian law. Israel’s year-long war has killed at least 43,061 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children. The situation worsens daily, fueling the ongoing violence.
As the situation worsens, international intervention is crucial. The conflict continues to claim innocent lives, underscoring the urgent need for resolution and peace. Ultimately, the Gaza conflict violence must end.
