The conflict in the Middle East grew deadlier as Israel launched heavy airstrikes on Gaza City, destroying entire neighborhoods and leaving behind what witnesses described as “fields of rubble.” Reports confirm that 78 people died in the attacks, including women and children.
Eyewitnesses said Israeli warplanes carried out continuous strikes through the night, turning residential blocks, markets, and roads into piles of debris. Rescue workers searched through the rubble to pull out survivors, while families mourned their loved ones in makeshift shelters.
The Israeli military defended its actions, saying it targeted Hamas strongholds and infrastructure used for launching rockets into Israel. Officials claimed the strikes aimed to dismantle the group’s operational capacity. However, local residents and humanitarian groups said the bombardment killed civilians and displaced thousands who had no safe place to go.
Humanitarian organizations warned of a worsening crisis. They reported that hospitals in Gaza struggle with shortages of medicine, electricity, and clean water. Relief agencies called for urgent aid access, stressing that the destruction of basic infrastructure pushes Gaza closer to a complete collapse.
International leaders reacted strongly. Some countries urged Israel to show restraint, while others backed its right to defend itself. The United Nations demanded immediate steps to protect civilians and prevent further escalation.
The death toll continues to rise, and both sides refuse to back down. With Gaza City reduced to rubble and civilians paying the highest price, the situation threatens to spiral into an even deeper humanitarian disaster.
The latest strikes underline the brutal reality of the conflict: as Israel intensifies its campaign, ordinary people in Gaza face destruction, displacement, and death.
