"Israel launched strikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 31 people as it presses ahead with a major offensive in the territory's largest city, according to health officials. Leading genocide scholars, meanwhile, joined other rights groups in accusing Israel of genocide, allegations it vehemently rejects. Airstrikes and artillery shelling have echoed through Gaza City since Israel declared it a combat zone last week. On the city's outskirts and in the Jabaliya refugee camp, residents have observed explosive-laden robots demolishing buildings."
"Hospitals in Gaza said at least 31 people were killed by Israeli fire on Monday, more than half of them women and children. At least 13 people were killed in Gaza City, where Israel has carried out several previous large-scale raids since Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel to ignite the war on Oct. 7, 2023. Israel says it only targets militants and blames Hamas for civilian casualties because the militant group now largely reduced to a guerrilla organization operates in densely-populated areas."
Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 31 people as operations continued in Gaza City, according to Gaza health officials. Genocide scholars and rights groups accused Israel of genocide, allegations Israel rejects. Airstrikes and artillery shelling have reached Gaza City since Israel declared it a combat zone. Explosive-laden robots have been observed demolishing buildings on the city's outskirts and in the Jabaliya refugee camp. Many of the dead were women and children, and Gaza City residents face both combat and severe food shortages. The world's leading authority on food crises declared Gaza in the throes of famine due to fighting, blockade and mass displacement. Gaza's Health Ministry reports 63,557 killed and 160,660 wounded without distinguishing civilians and combatants.
