Overview

  • An Israeli air strike on a residential block in Gaza City's Shijaiyah neighborhood killed at least 15 people, including women and children, and injured over 40 others.
  • The strike targeted what Israel claims was a senior Hamas militant, though no further details were provided, as rescue teams searched the rubble for victims.
  • Renewed Israeli operations in Gaza, which began on March 18 after a two-month ceasefire, have displaced nearly all of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents and killed at least 1,449 Palestinians in the past three weeks.
  • Hamas official Hossam Badran called for a ceasefire, stating the war cannot continue indefinitely and emphasizing the need to stop what he described as genocide against Palestinians.
  • Negotiations involving U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are ongoing, focusing on hostage releases and potential steps toward another ceasefire.
