Israeli Strikes Kill Family of Eight in Gaza, Destroy Historic Market in Lebanon

Date:

An Israeli airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed a family of eight late Saturday, according to Palestinian medical officials. The attack comes as Israeli forces continue to battle Palestinian militants in northern Gaza and strikes destroy a historic market in southern Lebanon.

The Gaza strike hit a home in the refugee camp, killing parents and their six children, aged 8 to 23. Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah reported that seven others were wounded, including two women and a child in critical condition.

Israel maintains it targets militant sites in Gaza, stating efforts are made to avoid civilian casualties. The military blames civilian deaths on Hamas and other armed groups, citing their operations in densely populated areas. Recent months have seen repeated strikes on schools used as shelters for displaced people, with Israel accusing militants of hiding among civilians.

The conflict has expanded beyond Gaza, with Israel conducting air and ground campaigns against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Tensions in the region remain high, with expectations of an Israeli retaliation against Iran for a recent missile attack.

As the war with Hamas enters its second year, the ongoing violence and destruction highlight the complex challenges facing the region and the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to address the escalating crisis.
