Ghaza( The COW News Digital)In a devastating escalation of violence, at least 116 Palestinians were killed within a 24-hour period due to intensified Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, according to international media sources.
The Israeli military reportedly targeted hospitals, schools, and food distribution centers in its latest wave of attacks, raising global concern over the growing humanitarian crisis in the region. Eyewitnesses and aid agencies have described the scenes as horrific, with civilians caught under rubble and emergency responders overwhelmed.
Foreign news outlets, citing Israeli newspapers, revealed that Israeli soldiers have allegedly been given direct orders to fire on civilians, including those waiting in line for food aid. This claim has intensified international condemnation and demands for accountability.
Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance factions claim they have launched counter-attacks, including an assault on an Israeli military vehicle in Khan Younis. The group reported casualties among Israeli soldiers, although this has not been independently verified.
Tensions further escalated as Israel alleged that missiles were launched from Yemen toward its territory. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the attacks were intercepted, but concerns are rising over the potential for a broader regional conflict involving multiple fronts.
Human rights organizations have strongly criticized Israel’s continued targeting of civilian infrastructure. “Bombing hospitals, schools, and humanitarian centers not only violates international law but also deepens the suffering of a population already facing unimaginable hardship,” said a spokesperson for a prominent rights group.
The ongoing war in Gaza has led to catastrophic humanitarian conditions. With electricity cut, clean water scarce, and medical supplies dwindling, aid agencies have warned that the enclave is on the brink of collapse. Calls for an immediate ceasefire are growing louder, but diplomatic efforts have so far failed to yield results.
As the death toll continues to rise, the international community is being urged to intervene to halt the bloodshed and prevent further atrocities. With reports of targeted civilian killings, the crisis in Gaza is once again placing global attention on the dire need for a sustainable and just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
