A devastating airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City has left seven people dead, according to local health officials. The attack is the latest in a series of strikes that have worsened humanitarian conditions in the enclave.
Israel plans to relocate over 1 million Palestinians from northern Gaza to southern zones, prompting international concern and criticism from aid groups and rights organizations. They warn that these zones are overcrowded, under-resourced, and vulnerable to bombardment.
The hospital attack is part of a growing toll of civilian casualties, with medical infrastructure severely strained. Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv over the weekend, demanding an end to the war and the return of hostages held by Hamas.
A one-day general strike in Israel is underway, protesting the government’s plan to seize Gaza City. The stoppage is demanded by families of hostages and others who fear the expansion of the war puts Israeli lives at greater risk.
