Israel's military has claimed to have targeted a Hamas war room in central Gaza as part of its ongoing efforts to combat the terrorist group following a recent attack on Israel. The war room, reportedly located inside a school in Nusrat, operated by the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). Israel asserts that more than 10 terrorists were killed in the strike, although this has not been independently verified.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their operations in the area, leading to widespread destruction and casualties. In a particularly harrowing incident, a young boy was rescued from the rubble of a four-story building that was hit by an Israeli airstrike while residents were asleep. Tragically, many individuals, including entire families, remain trapped under the debris.
The dire situation in Gaza is evident as displaced individuals struggle to locate their loved ones amidst the chaos. With limited resources and against the backdrop of constant Israeli drone activity, residents are left to search for survivors using only their bare hands.
Further exacerbating the crisis, another Israeli strike at a nearby UNRWA school resulted in a fire that engulfed the buildings, claiming more victims among the displaced population. UN staff are working tirelessly to recover human remains from the schoolyard as the search for safety continues.
As hundreds of thousands of people are forced to flee their homes in Rafah due to Israeli military actions, many find themselves displaced multiple times, with some resorting to setting up makeshift shelters in cleared areas. The struggle for basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter remains a daily battle for the residents of Gaza, who face uncertainty and hardship as they strive to survive each passing day.
