Israeli forces have launched airstrikes against the Gaza Strip in an effort to target militants. As a result, there have been reports of bombings in hospitals and the unfortunate death of a young girl, according to Reuters. The retaliation comes after recent attacks on Jerusalem by Palestinian militants.

According to the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 90 Palestinians have been killed as a result of the Israeli attacks. Among them is Dawud Shehab, the son of a Hamas official who represents the “Islamic Jihad” group. The casualties have been devastating, with 12 Palestinians killed and many others injured in Balah.

Israeli authorities have announced their intention to actively target the homes of militants and disrupt the civilian infrastructure. The military has claimed to have killed seven militants in Khan Yunis.

In the midst of the violence, 13-year-old Nasir Nasr tragically lost his life in a hospital in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem. The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qidra, confirmed the heartbreaking news.

According to the health ministry spokesperson, the conflict has resulted in nearly 19,000 Palestinian deaths since October 7. Israeli military officials have reported 121 casualties among their armed forces since October 27.

The situation continues to unfold, and it remains to be seen how this conflict will further impact the region.
