Israeli attacks on Eid kill 72 Palestinians in latest Gaza strikes

Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed at least 72 Palestinians and injured around 100 on Saturday, Palestinian sources reported.

On the second day of Eid al-Adha, a missile strike hit a residential home in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, killing 15 people, including six children.

Rescue teams fear the death toll may rise above 30, as many remain missing beneath the rubble.

Twelve Palestinians, including four from one family, died when Israeli shelling struck tents sheltering displaced people near Khan Younis.

Seven more were killed in an airstrike on a house sheltering displaced persons west of Gaza City.

Additional airstrikes and artillery fire killed at least 15 Palestinians in various neighborhoods including Al-Saftawi, Abu Shrekh, and near the Al-Mujayda fuel station.

Drone strikes hit Bani Suheila and Khan Younis, killing seven and injuring others, according to medical sources.

Eight Palestinians died in a strike on civilians in Jabalia al-Nazla, with more casualties in Jabalia’s al-Faluja area.

In Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood, a drone strike killed five and wounded several.

Two Palestinians sheltering near al-Durra stadium in central Gaza were also killed by an Israeli attack.

Six Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces near an aid center west of Rafah, with many others wounded.

Since May 27, at least 115 Palestinians have been killed and over 580 wounded while trying to access humanitarian aid, Anadolu reported.

This Eid marks the fourth since the October 2023 war that has killed nearly 54,800 Palestinians and left Gaza devastated.

The relentless strikes deepen the enclave’s humanitarian crisis amid a fragile ceasefire and mounting global concern.
