Israeli strikes on Gaza Restaurant and Market Kill 33

At least 33 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in two Israeli strikes at a busy restaurant and market in the same street in Gaza City, Medici and the Hamas-Runned Ministry of Health.

Graphic videos placed on social media showed bodies on tables the restaurant in Thailandy, in the Northern Rimal district, which also operated as a community kitchen.

Images from the nearby market showed a small child with a backpack who was dead on the street.

The Israeli army said it investigated the reports.

Earlier, hospitals said that at least 59 people had been killed in attacks since Tuesday evening, most in two schools that served as hiding places for displaced families.

The strikes come when Israel says that it is preparing for intensifying and expanding his military campaign against Hamas after 19 months of war.

The two strikes on Al -Wahda Street in Rimal – one of the busiest commercial hubs in Gaza – happened almost simultaneously on Wednesday afternoon, about 100 meters (330 ft) apart.

Call material from the stage shortly thereafter, wounded people who were transported on chairs and in the back of cars.

A woman who wore a baby in her arms and accompanied by two other children told Reuters’s news agency that they were in the restaurant in Thailandy when it was beaten.

“Everyone died,” she said. “The blood was like a lake, oh my baby, pee blood.”

Photos shared by local activists, who could not be verified immediately, showed a number of bodies. They seemed to include a boy who sells coffee, two parents and their young son, and a market seller who was sitting with his little stall.

The Palestinian journalist Yahya Sobeih was also killed, colleagues said, just a few hours after his wife gave birth to their first child.

In another video, the owner of the nearby Palmyra restaurant, Abu Saleh Abdu, said that many children, the elderly and passers -by were murdered.

He addressed the Israeli army: “What do you want to achieve (you)? You have not bombed fighters or weapons. You only affected civilians.”

The restaurant in Thailandy was destroyed during last year’s Israeli land surgery in nearby Al-Shifa Hospital, but it was recently rebuilt with the help of tents and improvised structures.

In addition to selling basic meals, the restaurant was also preparing hundreds of hot meals every day for humanitarian organizations to distribute with poor and displaced persons.

The Media Course run by the Hamas, run by the Hamas, accused the Israeli army of committing war crimes by “deliberately focusing on meetings of citizens and displaced persons” in four separate incidents for 24 hours.

Women and children belonged to the 33 people who were killed when the UN-RUN Abu Humeisa School in Bureij Refugee Camp, in Central Gaza, was bombed twice on Tuesday, according to the Hamas-Runned Civil Defense Office.

Witness Ali Al-Shaqra said on Wednesday that 300 families had stayed at school and that the effect of the strike was as an “earthquake”.

The Israeli army said it “struck terrorists who operated within a Hamas command-and-control center”.

The army has not yet commented on a strike at the Al-Karama school in the Eastern Tuffah district in Gaza City on Wednesday morning, the civil defense of which they killed another 15 people.

It comes in the midst of the international conviction of Israel’s plans to expand and intensify his ground offensive against Hamas.

Israeli officials have said that they take all the territory for an indefinite period of time, detect the Palestinians in the south and take over the distribution of aid with private companies, despite protests from the UN and its humanitarian partners.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that his safety cabinet had decided a “powerful operation” to destroy Hamas and save his remaining hostages. He said that the 2.1 million population of Gaza will “be moved, to protect it”, and that troops “will not come in and come out”.

Israel cut off all the necessities to Gaza on March 2 and resumed his attacking two weeks later after the collapse of a two-month ceasefires, and said it was busy on Hamas to release his 59 remaining hostages.

The renewed Israeli strikes and ground activities have already resulted in hundreds of victims and the relocation of an estimated 423,000 people, with around 70% of Gaza placed under Israeli evacuation, within a “no-go” zone, or both, according to the UN.

Aid organizations have also warned that massive starvation is imminent, unless the blockage ends.

The UN has said that according to international law, Israel is mandatory to ensure food and medical supplies for the population of Gaza. Israel has said that it is left of international law and that there is no shortage of help because thousands of truck loads entered Gaza while ceases -fens.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, who is located in the occupied West Bank, told the BBC that the situation in Gaza was “a real catastrophe”.

“This cannot continue. It is a siege, famine. No water, no electricity, no hope,” he said.

Mustafa insisted on the international community to increase efforts to get a new deal with cease -fires and hostages between Israel and Hamas as quickly as possible, warning: “People die every day in Gaza, and this should not happen anymore.”

An Israeli official said on Monday that the extensive offensive would not start after the visit of US President Donald Trump to the region next week, and provided what he called “a window” to Hamas to agree on a deal.

However, a senior official Bassem Naim said on Tuesday that it was “no use” to negotiations, while Israel continued what he called a “hunger war.”

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

Since then, at least 52,653 people have been killed in Gaza, including 2,545 since the Israeli offensive has resumed, according to the health minister of the area.
