🚨 Two Palestinian brothers, aged 8 and 11, were killed in an Israeli drone strike near Khan Younis on Saturday, as attacks across Gaza reached "unprecedented intensity" according to local sources. The strike occurred near a ceasefire boundary line established under recent peace agreements.
Nasser Hospital confirmed the deaths amid reports of land, air, and sea bombardments targeting multiple areas overnight. Residents described "explosions shaking entire neighborhoods" in Gaza City’s Shuja'iyya district, while artillery fire hit eastern Rafah and central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem called the escalation "a blatant violation of truce terms" and urged international mediators to intervene. The Israeli military has not yet commented on Saturday’s strike.
💔 Why it matters: This surge in violence comes amid fragile peace efforts – a grim reminder of Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. With over 70% of Gaza’s population under 30, young people bear the brunt of recurring conflicts.
