On Tuesday night, the Israeli Prime Minister's office announced the resumption of military operations in the Gaza Strip after the expiration of the ceasefire agreement. This decision was the next stage in a long-running conflict that has already claimed many lives and led to significant destruction.
Simultaneously with the announcement of the resumption of hostilities, the Israeli armed forces launched large-scale airstrikes against various targets in the Gaza Strip. According to the Al Jazeera TV channel, by 21:00 Washington time, 86 people had died as a result of these raids, 52 of them in the city of Khan Yunis. At 22:00 Washington TIME, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the death toll had risen to 120.
Among the dead are civilians, including women and children. Many of them were victims of airstrikes that affected residential areas and infrastructure facilities. The situation is particularly dire in the Al-Ribat tent camp in Khan Yunis, where dozens of people are reported to have died.
Locals describe horrific scenes of destruction and chaos. People are panicking and trying to find shelter, but many buildings and structures have already been destroyed. Medical facilities are overcrowded with the wounded, and medics have to work in extreme conditions, despite the lack of resources and equipment.
The Israeli authorities claim that their actions are aimed at protecting civilians from rocket attacks by Palestinian militants. At the same time, Palestinian leaders accuse Israel of excessive use of force and human rights violations.
The situation in the Gaza Strip remains extremely tense, and every hour brings new reports of casualties and destruction. Locals hope for an early cessation of hostilities and a return to peaceful life, but so far this seems a distant prospect.
