Approximately 20 deaths reported following Israeli assaults in the Northern Gaza Strip region
:hey pal, here's the lowdown:
A wave of violence has hit the Gaza Strip, claiming the lives of around two dozen individuals and injuring another 15 in attacks attributed to the Israeli Army. On Monday morning, the Palestinian enclave's Civil Defense reported these grim statistics.
In the town of Karama, Israeli bombing resulted in the recovery of 15 bodies and the rescue of ten injured individuals. However, the exact timing of the attack remains unclear. The tragedy doesn't end there - at least four lives were lost and five were hospitalized in an attack on a residence in Al Sultan. Unfortunately, several individuals are still missing under the rubble.
As of now, the Israeli offensive has claimed over 52,500 lives and left over 118,400 injured since October 7, 2023. Of these casualties, 2,400 people have lost their lives and 6,400 have been injured since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18. These figures come from Gaza's Hamas-controlled health authorities.
This ongoing conflict has been a volatile, devastating chapter in Middle Eastern history, with hundreds of thousands of lives affected, and no end in sight. If you're intrigued by the backstory, you might want to know that the strife originated from a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel in October 2023, resulting in the deaths of over 1,000 people in Israel and Gaza alike. The conflict has seen numerous ceasefires and flare-ups, creating a destabilizing cycle of violence.
