At least 20 Palestinians, including several children and a paramedic, have been killed and almost 40 others wounded in Israeli strikes in Gaza, hospitals say. The Israeli military said tanks and aircraft carried out precise strikes against what it called terrorists who opened fire on troops in the north of the strip, seriously wounding an officer. These events occurred close to the Yellow Line, where Israeli forces are stationed, constituting a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. In response, Hamas accused Israel of using the incident as a flimsy pretext to justify ongoing aggression against Palestinians. Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City reported receiving victims of strikes that targeted tents for displaced families and homes, resulting in the deaths of 13 individuals, including five children. Eyewitnesses expressed their grief as they mourned loved ones, including children, caught in the violence. The International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the killing of medical personnel, emphasizing the unacceptable risks faced by first responders amid the conflict. Meanwhile, tensions continue as both sides accuse each other of ceasefire violations since a truce was established in October. The ongoing violence stems from a larger conflict that has seen over 71,820 fatalities in Gaza since Israel's military response to the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
