Hamas-run civil defense says 57 Gazans killed in Israeli strikes since dawn
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency says Israeli bombardment has killed at least 57 people since dawn on Saturday, even after Israel, at US President Donald Trump’s urging, stopped offensive maneuvers in the Strip.
“The death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardment since dawn today stands at 57, including 40 in Gaza City alone,” Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the Hamas agency, tells AFP.
The figures are not independently verified, and they do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
The IDF paused offensive maneuvers in Gaza City amid a push by Trump to bring about an end to the war, but it is still conducting defensive operations in the Strip, including airstrikes against threats to forces.
