"SCHMITZ: Yeah, there are reports of several Israeli airstrikes throughout Gaza tonight. A spokesman for Gaza's Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, says many of the strikes have targeted civilian neighborhoods. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) MAHMOUD BASAL: (Non-English language spoken). SCHMITZ: And Basal's saying here that one strike hit a residential building in Gaza City, leaving many floors leveled. So far, he says at least four people have been confirmed killed, several others injured in that strike, with more victims likely buried under the rubble."
"Other strikes hit near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. In southern Gaza, in the city of Khan Younis, another Israeli airstrike hit a vehicle, killing at least five people, according to Gaza's Civil Defense. This death toll will likely change as rescue crews in Gaza try to locate bodies under the rubble of buildings that were hit. CHANG: All right. Well, Netanyahu said that these strikes were in retaliation for Hamas violating the ceasefire."
Israeli forces carried out multiple airstrikes across Gaza that killed at least nine people and injured several others, according to emergency response teams. Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal reported strikes that hit civilian neighborhoods, including a residential building in Gaza City that leveled multiple floors and strikes near Al-Shifa Hospital. In Khan Younis, a strike on a vehicle killed at least five people. Rescue crews continue searching for bodies under rubble and warn the death toll may rise. Israel stated the strikes were retaliation after alleging Hamas fired beyond the U.S.-brokered ceasefire line.
