In the early hours of New Year’s Day, Israeli forces launched a series of attacks on Gaza, targeting residential areas and refugee camps. Nine Palestinians, including children, were killed, and numerous others were injured.
The strikes highlight the ongoing violence in Gaza, further worsening the humanitarian crisis in the region. The targeting of civilian areas raises serious concerns about the escalating conflict and its impact on vulnerable populations.
The attacks were reportedly in retaliation for Kassam Brigades' rocket fire targeting Netivot in southern Israel. Israeli forces described their actions as a "necessary response" and issued evacuation orders for areas in central Gaza, further intensifying fear among civilians.
This escalation is part of a broader and ongoing conflict that has devastated Gaza’s infrastructure, economy, and civilian population for decades. The international community continues to call for a cease-fire and diplomatic resolutions, but tangible progress remains elusive.
