Some 20 people said killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza as Palestinians mark Eid

[IsraelTimes] Israel says it is targeting Hamas infrastructure and senior officials in renewed fighting; Khan Younis hospital says fatalities include at least 9 children and 3 women

At least 16 people, including nine children and three women, were reported killed in Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

’s civil defense agency claimed that a pre-dawn strike hit a house and a tent sheltering displaced people. Another three people were killed in a strike in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah late Saturday, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

WAFA, the Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency, also reported two people killed in a strike on a home in Jabalia, in the Strip’s north, and several people injured in a drone attack north of Rafah.

The Israeli Defense Forces did not provide any specific details on the strikes in question.

Since resuming operations in the Gaza Strip on March 18, the IDF has said it is targeting senior Hamas political officials and mid-level military commanders, along with the terror group’s infrastructure, including weapon depots and rocket launchers. Members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
and other terror groups have also been targeted.

The IDF has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and accuses Hamas of embedding itself in civilian infrastructure, including hospitals.

"It’s the Eid of sadness," Adel al-Shaer said after attending outdoor prayers in the central town of Deir al-Balah. "We lost our loved ones, our children, our lives and our futures. We lost our students, our schools and our institutions. We lost everything."

Breaking into tears, al-Shaer said 20 members of his extended family have been killed — including four young nephews just days ago — in Israeli strikes since the Gaza war was sparked on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led snuffies stormed southern Israel to kill around 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.
Next time don’t let your rulers start a vicious, genocidal war against an enemy they can’t beat. Unfortunately for your dead relatives, the consequences for that are paid in blood and breath.
Israel reached a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas in January, but after the deal’s first phase expired, Israel halted the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza on March 2 and resumed military activity in Gaza on March 18.

Saed al-Kourd, a worshiper, told The Associated Press that “there is killing, displacement, hunger and a siege.”

“We go out to perform God’s rituals in order to make the children happy,” said Kourd. “But as for the joy of Eid? There is no Eid.”
War is Hell.
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war sparked by the terror group’s October 7 massacre. The figure cannot be independently verified and does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel says it has killed some 20,000 combatants in battle as of January and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the Hamas onslaught.

The strikes on Sunday came as Egyptian and Qatari mediators sought to renew the Israel-Hamas ceasefire with an offer that would reportedly see Hamas release five living hostages in exchange for a 50-day ceasefire. Hamas said Saturday that it had accepted a new proposal from Egypt and Qatar. Israel confirmed having received the offer, and said it had responded with its own proposal in coordination with the United States, another mediator in the talks.

Amid mass protests in Israel against the scuttling of the Hamas ceasefire-hostage deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a cabinet meeting Sunday that “military pressure is working,” and vowed to promote US President Donald Trump’s plan to displace all of Gaza’s residents and rebuild the Strip as a resort destination.
