Overview

• Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City’s Shujayea neighborhood killed at least 35 people, including women and children, with dozens more injured and trapped under rubble.
• The Israeli military stated the strikes targeted senior Hamas militants but faced condemnation for civilian casualties in densely populated areas.
• Since the ceasefire ended on March 18, over 1,482 Palestinians have been killed, and nearly 400,000 residents have been displaced, according to the UN and health officials in Gaza.
• Israel has seized large areas of Gaza to establish security zones, reducing the territory and isolating its population further, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
• Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire continue, with Hamas calling for an end to what it describes as genocide, but no new proposals have been advanced by mediators.
