Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Residential Building Kills 29 Civilians

Israeli military claims senior Hamas militant was targeted, while local reports highlight civilian devastation and ongoing humanitarian crisis.

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Gaza City killed at least 29 Palestinians, including children, according to local health officials.
The Israeli military stated the strike targeted a senior Hamas militant responsible for planning attacks, but did not disclose the individual's name.
Eyewitnesses and rescuers described a scene of widespread destruction, with civilians trapped under rubble and emergency crews recovering bodies, including women and children.
The strike is part of a renewed Israeli military campaign that began on March 18, 2025, after a two-month ceasefire ended, with nearly 1,500 Palestinians killed since operations resumed.
Hamas condemned the attack as a massacre, while international mediators continue to push for a ceasefire amid escalating violence and humanitarian concerns.
