By AFP and ToI Staff 22 May 2025, 4:55 pm Edit

Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency says Israeli strikes killed at least 52 people since dawn Thursday across the territory, where Israel has ramped up its military offensive in recent days.

Agency official Mohammed Al-Mughayyir tells AFP there had been “52 martyrs and dozens injured as a result of airstrikes carried out by the occupation in various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn today.”

Hamas death tolls are unverified and do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
