Palestinians condemned in tearful pleas Israeli airstrikes on six residential buildings in the Jabalia refugee camp and the nearby town of Jabalia in northern Gaza Strip, which claimed dozens of lives. At least 65 Palestinians were killed in the airstrikes early on Wednesday, according to Palestinian civil defense and medical officials. The strikes hit the targets while residents were asleep, according to Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense. Most of the victims are women and children, he said. Basal said that rescue efforts were hindered by a shortage of equipment and resources, and they were witnessing scenes of destruction and casualties on a daily basis. Eyewitnesses said the targeted homes belonged to local families and were sheltering displaced people who had fled fighting elsewhere in the enclave. Late on Tuesday, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation warning for residents in Jabalia town, Jabalia camp, and surrounding areas. The strikes in Jabalia came hours after an Israeli air raid near the European Hospital in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, killed at least 28 people, including patients, caregivers, and people seeking shelter nearby, according to the Gaza-based health authorities. The Israeli army said the Khan Younis strike targeted Mohammed Sinwar, a senior commander in the military wing of Hamas and the brother of the group's former leader, Yahya Sinwar. Hamas has not commented on the allegation. Shotlist: Jabalia, Gaza Strip - May 14, 2025: 1. Various of destroyed buildings, debris; 2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ibrahim Saleh Naji, survivor from Israeli airstrikes: "We were asleep, feeling safe, and everything seemed normal. Suddenly around 01:00, due to the intensity of the bombing, we found ourselves thrown in the air, I was thrown about two meters high. After the shock, I found a lot of rubble on top of me. I cleared it off and checked on my family. Thank God, by His grace, we thankfully made it out safely only with some injuries, even though the strike was extremely powerful and the entire neighborhood was damaged. Still, thank God, by His grace, we survived."; 3. Various of destroyed buildings, people cleaning debris; 4. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Itimad Al-Najjar, survivor from Israeli airstrikes: "It was a massacre in every sense, where young and old all lost their lives. The school was hit, and there were injuries. My house was completely destroyed, and it used to shelter 50 people. The horror of the bombing was so overwhelming that I no longer knew if it was coming or going. Enough destruction, enough rubble, enough killing, enough death."; 5. Various of destroyed buildings, refugees. [Restriction - No access Chinese mainland]
