At Least 60 Dead in Gaza After Israeli Airstrikes

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 60 people, including almost two dozen children, according to local hospitals and health officials. The attacks, which occurred on Wednesday, May 15th, 2025, follow a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserting that the military offensive in the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory will not cease until Hamas is defeated. A Palestinian hospital reported at least 54 deaths in multiple overnight attacks. "This bombing will not stop until Hamas, which launched the October 7 attacks, is destroyed," said Netanyahu. The video footage shows the devastation caused by the airstrikes and the emotional distress of those affected. The high death toll, including numerous children, highlights the tragic human cost of the ongoing conflict. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for a de-escalation of violence.
