Israel carries out first Gaza strike in more than week, one killed
GAZA CITY: Israel on Wednesday carried out its first air strike in more than a week in Gaza, both sides said, breaking a relative lull as the United States pressed a peace plan.
GAZA CITY: Israel launched its first air strike in Gaza in over a week on Wednesday, resulting in the death of one person, according to both parties. This marks a break from a relative calm as the United States pushes forward with a peace plan. The Israeli military claimed it targeted a Hamas commander who was allegedly plotting attacks against IDF troops in the war-torn region.
The military emphasized their efforts to minimize civilian casualties during the strike. The civil defense agency of Gaza reported that the attack in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, resulted in the death of Mohanad Saada and injuries to five others. Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed the death toll and the extent of Saada's injuries. A witness stated that Saada was among a group of workers repairing a wall damaged by Israeli shelling.
While Israeli airstrikes and assassinations had largely ceased for over a week, they resumed today, according to Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for the Gaza civil defense.
