Israeli Airstrikes Kill 29 in Gaza, Including Six Children, Amid Ceasefire Deadlock

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Sunday reportedly killed at least 29 Palestinians, including six children, according to Gaza's civil defense agency.

The attacks occurred amid stalled ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas in Qatar. Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal reported multiple strikes in Gaza City, killing eight including women and children.

Another strike on a family home near Nuseirat refugee camp resulted in 10 deaths. In the same camp, a drone strike on a water distribution point for displaced people killed eight, including six children. Additionally, three Palestinians sheltering in tents in Al-Mawasi were killed by Israeli jets.

The Israeli military, which has intensified operations in Gaza 21 months into the conflict, has not yet commented on Sunday's strikes, though it reported hitting over 35 "Hamas terror targets" in northern Gaza on Saturday.

The war, triggered by Hamas's October 2023 attack, has displaced most of Gaza's over two million residents and created severe humanitarian conditions. Due to media restrictions and access difficulties, AFP cannot independently verify these details.
