Condemning Israeli Forces: Gaza Strip Air Strikes Leave Dozens Dead

BBC reports on January 1st about Israeli military air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, January 31, revealing at least 32 deaths, including multiple women and children. Local authorities in Gaza reported that in one attack, Israel used helicopters to strike tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis in the southern region, considered the most violent attack since the second ceasefire agreement by US President Donald Trump. Hamas condemned the Israeli attack, demanding immediate US intervention, calling it a continuation of Israel's brutal genocide in Gaza. Egyptian and Qatari foreign ministries also condemned the strikes and called for maximum restraint. The Israeli Defense Forces claimed multiple strikes were in response to alleged Hamas agreement violations, targeting eight terrorists, four commanders, weapon storage facilities, weapon production sites, and two missile launch sites in central Gaza Strip. Hamas-run Health Ministry reported over 71,660 deaths in the Gaza war, with at least 509 Palestinians killed since the October 10 ceasefire.
