Reports of widespread Israeli strikes on Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThere are reports of widespread Israel Defense Forces strikes in the Gaza Strip on the 72nd day of Israel’s war with Hamas.
A number of people were killed in airstrikes on the central city of Deir al-Balah, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
Witnesses also report Israeli air and artillery strikes on the southern municipality of Bani Suhaila east of Khan Younis, the Gaza Strip’s second city and a Hamas stronghold.
The war began on October 7 when thousands of Hamas terrorists rampaged through communities and a music festival in southern Israel killing around 1,200 people — mainly civilians — and taking some 240 hostages.
