The Palestinian Authority for Civil Protection in the Gaza Strip, where "Hamas" has ruled since 2007, announced that 30 people died in two Israeli strikes on two separate houses in the enclave, France Press reported. Among the victims were 13 children, BTA specifies.
At least 25 people died in the first strike, including children. A house in Jabalia was hit in this attack. Another strike hit a house in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. 5 people died there. It is believed that there are people buried under the debris of the house.
The Israeli army is at war with "Hamas" and armed groups in the Gaza Strip, as well as against the Lebanese Islamist movement "Hezbollah" in Lebanon. The war was sparked by a surprise attack launched by "Hamas" on October 7, 2023. That attack killed 1,206 people on the Israeli side, most of them civilians, according to an AFP count based on official figures and including hostages who died or were killed in captivity in the Gaza Strip. According to the Ministry of Health of the government of "Hamas" in Gaza, considered credible by the UN, Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip killed more than 43,550 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to AFP.
