Officials in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza have reported that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on a residential block in central Gaza has tragically risen to 33. The strike, which occurred on Thursday in the Nuseirat refugee camp, has left more than 84 people missing or injured.
Images from the aftermath of the attack depict a scene of devastation, with individuals using flashlights to search through the rubble of a destroyed building. Health officials have confirmed that at least nine children were among those killed in the airstrike.
The Gaza Government Media Office has provided updates on the situation, highlighting the urgent need for assistance and medical care for the injured. The strike was reportedly targeting a 'senior terrorist' who was allegedly responsible for leading attacks against Israeli civilians and troops, according to the Israeli military.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region and the toll it takes on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The international community has been called upon to intervene and help de-escalate the situation to prevent further loss of life.
