Israeli Strikes In Gaza Kill 50, Rescuers Say, After Hamas Accused Of Killing Israeli Soldier. At least 50 Palestinians have been killed and around 200 injured in a wave of Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency and local hospitals. The strikes hit residential areas in Gaza City, Beit Lahia, Bureij, Nuseirat, and Khan Younis. Israel said the attacks were launched in response to Hamas violating the US-brokered ceasefire agreement, accusing the group of carrying out an assault in southern Gaza that killed an Israeli soldier. Hamas denied any involvement, insisting it remained committed to the ceasefire. US President Donald Trump said “nothing” would jeopardise the peace deal but added that Israel had the right to “hit back” if its troops were attacked. Witnesses in Gaza described “pillars of fire and smoke” rising into the sky as explosions tore through residential blocks overnight.
