Gaza Under Fire: Civilian Casualties Rise Amidst Israeli Offensive The Israeli military's ongoing offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip has resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties. Recent bombardments have targeted both northern and southern areas, causing widespread destruction and leaving many injured and dead. The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that over 70 civilians, including children, have been killed. "The sheer scale of the destruction is overwhelming," stated a local resident, whose home was destroyed in the recent attacks. "We are living in constant fear." The video footage shows the aftermath of the bombings, with buildings reduced to rubble and people desperately seeking aid. Adding to the tragedy, an attack on a group of civilians receiving food from a US-backed humanitarian organization left at least 20 people injured. This incident highlights the devastating impact of the conflict on non-combatants. The international community is calling for an immediate end to the violence and the protection of civilians. The situation in Gaza remains critical and requires urgent humanitarian assistance.
