Israeli bombing kills over 30, mostly children and women, in Gaza's Al-Maghazi camp
AFP. While Palestinian news agency WAFA said 51 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli bombing of Gaza's Maghazi camp. In a statement released on Telegram, Hamas claimed that Israel had "directly" struck civilian homes, noting that women and children made up the majority of the fatalities.
An Israeli military spokesperson said they were looking into whether the Israel Defense Forces had been operating in the area at the time of the bombing. Israel has maintained that it is targeting Hamas, not civilians, and accuses the militants of using residents as human shields. In a video released by Israel Defence force, showed Hamas obstructs their civilians from getting to safety in southern Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in punishment for its brutal October 7 attack on communities and military outposts near the Gaza border, which it says has killed more than 1,400 people, mainly civilians. More than 240 Israeli and foreign hostages were also abducted during the attack. Gaza on the other hand has been transformed into an apocalyptic battleground by air strikes and ground assaults after Israel vowed to eradicate Hamas.
According to the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza, Israeli bombings and the escalating military campaign have claimed the lives of over 9,480 Gazans, the majority of whom were women and children. Meanwhile, Pro-Palestinian demonstrators staged protests in London, Berlin, Paris, Ankara, Istanbul and Washington on Saturday to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and castigate Israel after its military intensified its assault against Hamas. Protesters held "Freedom for Palestine" placards and chanted "ceasefire now" and "in our thousands, in our millions, we are all Palestinians".Milestone Alert!
