ISRAELI STRIKES Shock Gaza: Hostage Rescue Sparks Outrage and Heartbreak
— Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza overnight and into Tuesday, leaving at least 60 dead, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel says its renewed attacks are focused on rescuing hostages held by Hamas and wiping out the terrorist group.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently allowed a few aid trucks into Gaza after months of blockade. U.N. groups claim this small amount of help is nowhere near enough for the people in Gaza, who are running out of food and supplies.
The strikes targeted several spots, including a family home and a school used as a shelter in northern Gaza. Women and children were among those killed. The Israeli military did not comment right away but says it aims for militants only. They blame Hamas for hiding among civilians.
Israel is pushing forward against Hamas even as world leaders call for more aid to reach civilians. The fight to free hostages continues while tensions remain high in the region.

ISRAELI STRIKE Shatters Gaza Peace: 68 Lives Lost in Heartbreaking Tragedy
— A recent Israeli strike in central Gaza claimed the lives of at least 68 people, as reported by local health officials. The victims tragically included no less than 12 women and seven children. Eyewitnesses from the Associated Press recounted scenes of panic-stricken Palestinians evacuating the dead and injured from the Maghazi refugee camp near Deir al-Balah.
Grieving father and grandfather, Ahmad Turokmani, mourned his lost loved ones in the strike, stating with a heavy heart, “We were all targeted. There is no safe place in Gaza anyway.” Initial reports from Gaza’s Health Ministry had estimated an even higher death toll at 70.
As Christmas Eve unfolded over Bethlehem, traditional holiday celebrations were abruptly cancelled due to escalating violence. Concurrently, delicate negotiations for another prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestine persisted under Egypt’s mediation.
This relentless conflict has inflicted severe damage on parts of Gaza resulting in approximately 20,400 Palestinian casualties and uprooting nearly its entire population of roughly 2.3 million inhabitants.
