Israel Strikes Gaza: 60 Dead in New Attack Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict.
In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Gaza has become a battleground. Early Tuesday, Israel launched another powerful strike in Gaza. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the Israeli military targeted a five-story building in northern Gaza where displaced people had taken shelter. Health officials reported that the death toll from this latest attack has reached 60, with 17 people still missing. Dr. Marwan al-Hams, head of Gaza’s field hospital department, updated the casualty figures at a press conference following the attack.
Rising Casualties :-
The strike occurred in Beit Lahia, a northern city near the Israeli border, where Israel’s operations have intensified over the past three weeks. Emergency medical services reported that at least 20 others were injured in the attack. While the Israeli military has yet to comment on this latest strike, Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded around 43,000 Palestinian deaths since the start of the year-long conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Hamas Fighters Arrested :-
Amid the violence, Israel reported a major success in its fight against Hamas, apprehending around 100 suspected Hamas fighters. Israeli forces conducted a raid at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, where they seized weapons, funding resources, and intelligence documents. The detainees reportedly included fighters who had attempted to flee while civilians were being evacuated from conflict zones.
As the situation in Gaza remains critical, casualties continue to rise, and both sides show little indication of slowing down. The latest developments have heightened international concerns, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian aid and potential diplomatic interventions.”
History Of The conflict :-
The conflict between Israel and Gaza stems from a long-standing struggle over land, political power, and national identity. Gaza is controlled by Hamas, a Palestinian group that Israel and some other countries consider a terrorist organization. Hamas does not recognize Israel as a state and has called for its destruction, while Israel views Hamas as a security threat due to frequent rocket attacks on its territory.
The roots of the conflict go back decades to when Israel was established in 1948, leading to wars and displacement for many Palestinians. Gaza and the West Bank, which are Palestinian territories, have been under different degrees of Israeli control or restriction since then. Tensions often rise around issues like border security, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and the rights of Palestinians.
Periodic outbreaks of violence occur, with both sides exchanging attacks. Gaza, densely populated and under blockade by Israel and Egypt, struggles with poor living conditions and limited resources. Meanwhile, Israel aims to maintain its security, especially from rocket threats. Efforts at peace have been attempted, but underlying issues remain unresolved, fueling cycles of violence and making the conflict difficult to end.
