Gaza Civil Defence: 13 Dead, Including 5 Children, in Israeli Strikes has shocked the Palestinian territory, leaving families devastated. Gaza civil defence confirmed that Israeli attacks in Gaza killed at least 13 people, including five children. The strikes have sparked renewed concern over civilian casualties and the fragile US-sponsored truce.
Four children were among those killed when a drone struck a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza, Mahmud Bassal, a Gaza civil defence spokesman, told AFP. In northern Gaza, an 11-year-old girl died near the Jabalia refugee camp, while a school strike claimed one life. Additional air strikes near Khan Yunis and Gaza City caused more casualties.
The Israeli military said it was checking the reports but confirmed targeting a projectile launch point from Gaza. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, highlighting repeated breaches since the October 10 truce. Gaza health ministry data shows at least 425 Palestinians have died since the truce, including 21 on November 22 during previous airstrikes.
Rescue operations in Gaza are ongoing, with civil defence teams searching for missing people. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens as displaced people continue to face unsafe shelters. Both Israeli forces and Hamas accuse each other of violations of the ceasefire, while international observers call for renewed dialogue to prevent further civilian deaths.
The Gaza airstrikes underline the region’s volatility and the urgent need for effective ceasefire enforcement. Families mourn the loss of children and adults alike, and civil defence efforts continue under difficult conditions.
