Two Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City

Two Palestinians were killed and multiple others injured in a fresh series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Gaza City, officials said on Tuesday. The strikes hit residential neighborhoods in the city’s central district, prompting emergency services to rush victims to nearby hospitals where many remain in critical condition. Health authorities in the enclave have not released an exact figure for the injured, but local reports indicate that the number could be in the dozens.

The latest attacks come amid an intensified phase of the Israel‑Gaza conflict that began in early October, during which both sides have exchanged heavy fire and air power. International humanitarian agencies have repeatedly warned that the growing density of civilian casualties underscores the urgent need for de‑escalation and protection of non‑combatants. No group has claimed responsibility for the specific raid, and Israeli officials have not commented on the operation at this time.
