According to Palestinian medical officials, an Israeli airstrike on a school in the Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people, including women and a child. The Israeli military claims that the strike was targeted at militants who were hiding among civilians, though they have not provided any evidence to support this claim.
Despite the attention being focused on Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon and rising tensions with Iran, they have continued to carry out strikes on what they believe to be militant targets in Gaza. Just this week, they launched a large-scale operation against Hamas in the northern part of the strip.
In a separate incident, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon has reported that their headquarters in the town of Naqoura was hit by an Israeli tank, resulting in two peacekeepers being wounded and hospitalized. The UN has stated that their headquarters and surrounding areas have been frequently targeted by Israeli forces.
The strike in Deir al-Balah, a city in central Gaza, appears to have been aimed at a Hamas-run police force. The strike killed 27 people and injured several others, with many of the bodies arriving at the hospital in pieces. The chaos and devastation caused by this strike has left witnesses pleading for help from the world.
In another incident, a man accused of harassing women has asked for leniency, claiming that he won't repeat his actions. This comes as Israeli forces continue to carry out precise strikes on buildings that they believe are being used by militants, including schools that have been turned into shelters. Witnesses have reported that the strike on the school occurred while school managers were meeting with representatives from an aid group, and that there were no police present at the time.
The Hamas-run government in Gaza has a large civilian police force, though they have largely disappeared from the streets since the start of the war. However, they still maintain control over the area through plainclothes security personnel. Despite the war being ignited by a Hamas-led attack in 2023, Hamas has continued to launch attacks on Israeli forces and fire rockets into Israel.
As the conflict intensifies, UN peacekeepers have found themselves caught in the crossfire. The peacekeeping force has been tasked with patrolling a buffer zone that was established after the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. However, Israel has accused Hezbollah of ignoring the UN resolution and establishing militant infrastructure along the border. In response, Israel has launched a ground invasion aimed at pushing the militants back and allowing displaced Israelis to return to their homes.
Meanwhile, Iran has been providing support to Hamas, Hezbollah, and other armed groups in the region who refer to themselves as the Axis of Resistance against Israel. In retaliation for the killing of top Hamas and Hezbollah militants, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, prompting a strong response from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who promised a "lethal" and "surprising" counterattack.
As the conflict escalates, the UN has called for a ceasefire and for both sides to abide by the previous resolution that ended the 2006 war. However, with tensions running high and both sides accusing the other of violating the resolution, the situation remains volatile.
