Tragedy Strikes Gaza: 18 Killed in Israel's Airstrike on Mosque Amid War Anniversary Gathering!

At least 18 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a mosque near Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, early Sunday. The attack occurred as people had gathered to commemorate the first anniversary of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in the Palestinian territory. According to Gaza’s health ministry, several others were injured in the strike.

The Israeli military has been conducting ongoing operations against Hezbollah in the north, while simultaneously engaging in battles with Hamas in Gaza. The airstrike targeted the mosque at a time when local Palestinians were marking a year since the start of the war with Israel. The violence continues to claim lives, with the Gaza health ministry reporting that around 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing conflict.

This latest incident adds to the escalating tensions and the growing toll of casualties in the region. Both sides remain deeply entrenched in a prolonged conflict, with no immediate resolution in sight.
