Tragedy has struck as more than 30 people have lost their lives and hundreds were injured during a night of intense Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip. Dozens of residential buildings, factories, mosques, and shops were struck in the attacks, according to Salama Marouf, the head of the Hamas government’s media office.
The Israeli military has also confirmed that it targeted multiple Hamas sites during the night, including “advanced detection systems” used by Hamas to detect military aircraft. Additionally, airstrikes hit Hamas targets in the Beit Hanoun area of northeastern Gaza, including bank branches allegedly used for funding terrorism, a weapons storage facility, and an operational command center used by the Islamic Jihad militant group.
The situation remains tense in the region.
