Nearly a dozen children killed in overnight z¿onist strikes on Gaza

The deadly wave of attacks began on the eve of World Children’s Day, killing at least 34 Palestinians.

Over 100 people were killed and injured in the Gaza Strip overnight as zionist colony carried out violent airstrikes on civilians in complete violation of the US-brokered ceasefire agreement reached last month. Medical sources cited by Palestinian journalists in Gaza say 34 people were killed. Among the dead were 11 children, one of them a newborn baby. At least 77 others have been injured.The new wave of attacks began on the eve of World Children’s Day.

Medical teams said many of the injured remain in critical condition after warplanes hit a building sheltering displaced families in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, with victims transferred to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

In Khan Yunis, the Nasser Medical Complex reported seven deaths after Israeli drones struck tents in the coastal Al-Mawasi area. Artillery fire also hit the Bani Suhaila area east of the city.

The Israeli army said on Wednesday that it was responding to fire on its troops in Khan Yunis.

Army sources cited by the Times of Israel and Reuters said that Israel also targeted a meeting of senior Hamas leaders. It is unclear if the assassination attempt was successful.

“On World Children’s Day: Palestine’s children are victims of organized Zionist terrorism,” Hamas said in a statement after the strikes. “The targeting of children is part of the occupation’s policies aimed at breaking our people’s will, and that the children of Palestine in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the occupied interior will remain symbols of steadfastness and resilience until the end of the criminal occupation,” it added.

Qatar has condemned the new Israeli strikes and said they threaten to upend the ceasefire.

Since the agreement was reached in October, over 300 Palestinians have been killed and over 750 injured, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

A UN resolution was passed two days ago approving Washington’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, effectively placing the besieged strip under the control of US President Donald Trump.

The resolution includes deploying international forces to Gaza to disarm Hamas and other resistance groups.

Palestinian resistance groups condemned the passing of the UN resolution, saying Washington aims to deploy foreign forces to Gaza to carry out what zionist colony was not able to during the war.

“Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the occupation,” Hamas said in a statement. “The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject. It also imposes a mechanism to achieve the occupation’s objectives, which it failed to accomplish through its brutal genocide,” it added.
