At Least 30 Palestinians Killed in Recent Israeli Strikes on Gaza, Including Children and Police Officers.
The Israeli military has carried out some of its deadliest airstrikes on the Palestinian territory of Gaza in months, leaving at least 30 people dead, including children and police officers. The violence broke out when Israel struck a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, killing 10 officers and detainees.
Emergency responders searched for bodies in the area, indicating that the death toll could rise further. The strike was carried out despite a nominal ceasefire agreement between the two sides. In another incident, Israel bombed an apartment in Gaza City, killing three children and two women. Seven more people lost their lives when Israel bombed tents in Khan Younis.
The Israeli military cited an incident on Friday involving eight armed men coming out of a tunnel in Rafah as justification for the attacks. However, Palestinians see the strikes as part of a broader attempt by Israel to restrict movement in and out of Gaza.
Gaza's health ministry has recorded over 500 Palestinian deaths at the hands of Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire on October 10th. Despite ongoing violence, the ceasefire agreement is moving into its second phase, which includes demands for Hamas to disarm and hand over power to a Board of Peace organization.
Critics say that Israel's plan for "developing Gaza" β as outlined by Jared Kushner in a recent presentation β prioritizes futuristic skyscrapers overlooking the Mediterranean. However, most of Gaza remains devastated after two years of Israeli bombing, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians.
