Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill at Least 11 Palestinians
Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 11 Palestinians, with the Israeli military describing the attacks as a response to ceasefire violations by Hamas.
Reuters reported on Sunday that four people died in a strike on a displaced families' camp, five in another attack in Khan Younis, and one in northern Gaza.
Hazem Qassim, Hamas spokesman in Gaza, accused Israel of a "new massacre" against displaced Palestinians and a serious ceasefire breach.
Israeli military officials called the strikes precise and compliant with international law, stating that the Palestinian militant group had repeatedly violated the October ceasefire.
Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of breaching the ceasefire agreement, a key element of former U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war, the bloodiest and most destructive in the long-running Israel-Palestine conflict.
The war began with a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 72,000 people have since been killed in Israel's air and ground operations in Gaza.
