Israeli Strikes Kill At Least 12 in Gaza, Including Children

Israeli airstrikes overnight in Gaza killed at least 12 people, including three children, with the attacks concentrated on homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to hospital officials. The strikes are part of Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Hamas, which has included daily bombardments and a blockade of imports such as food and medicine since March. The conflict has resulted in over 52,000 Palestinian deaths, most of whom are women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. In related developments, Israeli forces arrested journalist Ali Samoudi in Jenin, alleging ties to Islamic Jihad, marking another in a series of journalist detentions since the war began. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders over alleged war crimes, and Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice. The situation remains dire, with continued violence and international legal scrutiny.
