Israeli strike on a residential building kills 29, saying doctors, say

At least 29 Palestinians were killed in a local hospital as a result of an Israeli air strike on a multi -storey residential building in the east of Gaza.

Civil Defense Agency Hamas said that on Tuesday morning in the Al-Havash district area in the Schoja neighborhood on the Sherzha neighborhood on the Szjjai neighborhood.

It states that eight children were among the dead, more than 60 were injured, and that rescuers were still looking for two dozen others under the rubble.

The Israeli military said she was impressed by the “senior terrorist” Hamas, who was responsible for planning and carrying out attacks in the area.

Many steps have been taken to mitigate the damage to civilians, including the use of “accurate weapons”, he added.

The military also accused Hamas of violating international law, intentionally using civilian population as human shields.

Video from Shangia showed that the dust bodies of young children who admire the rubble, bewildered relatives and rescue workers.

The 26 -year -old Ayub Salim told AFP that the territory around a residential building, which struck on Tuesday morning, was “overflowing with tents moved by people and houses.”

He said he was hit by “several rockets” and “Shrapnell flew in all directions.”

“Dust and mass destruction filled the whole place, we couldn’t see anything, just screaming and panic people,” he added. “It’s a really terrible massacre.”

Hamas also said that the Israeli military “committed a bloody massacre.”

Last week, thousands of Shejai residents escaped after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of the neighborhood, saying that it was working with force for the destruction of “terrorist infrastructure”.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said that at least 33 people were killed in Israeli attacks in 24 hours.

This brought a registered total number of dead because Israel resumed its air and ground campaign against Hamas on March 18 to 1482.

Another 390,000 people have been displaced in the last three weeks, and two -thirds of the territory appointed by Israeli military personnel as the “do not go” or located under evacuation, the UN reports.

The UN also warned that supplies of food, medicines and fuel have dried because Israel prevented any humanitarian aid supply to the moon to put pressure on Hamas.

On Tuesday, Secretary -General Antonio Guteres condemned the Israeli blockade, saying he violated international law and opened “horror factories”.

“Gaza is a murder, and the civilian population is in an endless hinge of death,” he added.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the criticism of Guteras, saying that “it did not allow the facts to interfere with the spread of slander to Israel.”

“There is not enough humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip – more than 25,000 trucks have entered the gas lane for 42 days of ceasefire. Hamas used this assistance to restore his military machine,” said the press secretary Oren Markstein.

On Monday, heads of six UN humanitarian agencies described Israel’s statement that there was enough food for 2.1 million gases because “far from reality on Earth.”

They called for the protection of civilians, assistance to the supply of assistance, the release of hostages conducted by Hamas, and the ceasefire update.

The mediators continue to try to resurrect the fire, which began on January 19, and saw that Hamas released 33 Israeli hostages – eight of them died – and five hostages in exchange for about 1900 Palestinian prisoners and a splash of humanitarian aid coming into gas.

Israel said he resumed his offensive from the refusal of Hamas to accept the proposal to expand the first stage of the ceasefire agreement and the release of more than 59 hostages he still holds, up to 24 of which are allegedly alive.

Hamas accused Israel of violating the original agreement, according to which the second stage will be transferred to all other lively hostages, and the war led to a permanent end.

The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 were taken hostage.

Since then, more than 50,840 people have been killed in Gaza, the Ministry of Health of the territory has been killed.
