Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47200, member: 636"] Israeli attacks killed 37 Palestinians across Gaza on Saturday. Civil defense officials reported that nine children died among the victims. Mahmud Bassal from Gaza's civil defense agency said strikes hit seven different locations. He reported that 35 people died from drone and air attacks. Two more Palestinians died from Israeli gunfire as they waited for food assistance. Three children lost their lives when aircraft bombed a house in Jabalia. Six more children died in Gaza City's northeastern area. Some of these young victims were near a school that housed displaced families. Israeli forces have not commented on these reported deaths. Media restrictions prevent independent confirmation of casualty numbers. Mourners gathered at Al-Shifa hospital to grieve over seven wrapped bodies. Video from southern Israel showed smoke rising over northern Gaza after explosions. Additional footage captured smoke clouds over Gaza City buildings after strikes. Rescue workers helped an injured man with blood on his back in Jabalia. Emergency teams continue searching for survivors under rubble. Israel began its Gaza offensive in October 2023 after Hamas attacked. The military announced it would focus again on Gaza after ending its conflict with Iran on June 24. Qatar leads mediation efforts with the United States and Egypt. Officials hope the Iran ceasefire momentum will help achieve a Gaza truce. Palestinian groups still hold Israeli hostages from the original attack. The Hamas assault resulted in 1,219 deaths according to Israeli records. Gaza's health ministry reports that Israeli operations have killed at least 56,412 Palestinians. The United Nations considers these death counts reliable. Most casualties on both sides have been civilians. [/QUOTE]
