At least 40 people have been killed in overnight air strikes by Israeli forces in Gaza, according to hospital sources in the region. The strikes targeted several areas across the Gaza Strip, resulting in significant casualties and widespread destruction.
Medical teams in local hospitals reported a surge in the number of wounded brought in for treatment, with many in critical condition. Emergency responders continue to search for survivors under the rubble of damaged buildings, as the full extent of the devastation becomes clear.
The latest escalation comes amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and Palestinian groups, with both sides exchanging fire over recent weeks. Residents in Gaza described a night of intense bombardment, with explosions lighting up the sky and entire neighborhoods shaken by the blasts.
Israeli authorities have not yet issued a statement regarding the specific targets of the overnight strikes. The situation remains tense, with fears of further violence as the conflict shows no sign of abating.
International organizations have renewed calls for restraint and the protection of civilians, urging all parties to work toward a ceasefire and a lasting resolution to the crisis. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with hospitals struggling to cope with the influx of casualties and shortages of essential supplies.
