Multiple fatalities reported in Gaza after Israeli attacks target homes and humanitarian facilities since dawn
Gaza Strip Crisis Deepens Amidst Israeli Attack
Grim days for Gaza's populace as celebrations turn into a calamity. The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression now stands at over 170,000 – that's 8% of Gaza's residents.
3rd Day of Eid al-Adha, 2025 - A Bloodbath in Gaza
Sunday, June 8, 2025, was a tragic day in the 20-month war. Israeli forces rampaged through the Gaza Strip, killing at least 21 Palestinians, with scores more injured. Death swept through Al-Shifa Hospital with eight fatalities in Jabalia al-Balad, regenerating the landscape with grief. Elsewhere, Israeli airstrikes flattened residential buildings, while drone attacks and gunfire left many families mourning behind rubble and tents.
Victims of War
The targets of these attacks were not only combatants but, sadly, civilians – women, children, and the elderly - who comprise a majority of the estimated hundreds of deaths during the three days of Eid. As the burial of the fallen lingered, a new day dawned, signifying neither respite nor reprieve in this relentless war.
