Israeli airstrikes kill 80 people in Gaza

Israeli airstrikes pounded northern and southern Gaza on Wednesday, killing at least 80 people, including almost two dozen children a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was “no way” he would halt Israel’s offensive in the Palestinian territory before Hamas is defeated.
Nearly 60 people, including 22 children, were killed in strikes around Jabaliya in northern Gaza alone, according to hospitals and Gaza’s Health Ministry. Israel’s military refused to comment on the strikes. It warned Jabaliya residents to evacuate late Tuesday, claiming militant infrastructure in the area, including rocket launchers. In comments released by Netanyahu’s office Tuesday, the prime minister said Israeli forces were days away from a promised escalation of force and would enter Gaza “with great strength to complete the mission ... It means destroying Hamas.”
Israeli media reported that one target in a strike on a hospital in Khan Younis on Tuesday was Mohammed Sinwar, younger brother of the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli forces last October.
Mohammed Sinwar is believed to be Hamas’ top military leader in Gaza. Israel has tried to assassinate him multiple times over the past decades.
International food security experts warned earlier this week that Gaza will likely fall into famine if Israel doesn’t lift its blockade and stop its military campaign.
Nearly half a million Palestinians are facing possible starvation while 1 million others can barely get enough food, according to findings by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a leading international authority on the severity of hunger crises.
French President Emmanuel Macron strongly denounced Netanyahu’s decision to block aid as “a disgrace” that has caused a major humanitarian crisis.
“I say it forcefully, what Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is doing today is unacceptable,” Macron said Tuesday evening on TF1 national television. “There’s no medicine. We can’t get the wounded out. Doctors can’t get in.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also said Wednesday the humanitarian situation in Gaza was “ever more dramatic and unjustifiable”, stressing she had repeatedly urged Israel to find a way to end the conflict.
Doctors Without Borders slammed Israel Wednesday for creating a “deliberate humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza and accused it of trying to make aid conditional on forced displacement of Palestinians.
