Tensions flared in Gaza on Saturday as Israeli strikes killed at least 28 Palestinians despite a fragile ceasefire with Hamas. According to local reports, one of the deadliest attacks targeted a vehicle in Gaza City&rsquo;s Zeitoun neighbourhood, killing 11 members of a single family.
Hamas strongly condemned the strikes, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire and urging international mediators to hold Tel Aviv accountable. The group said the attacks undermine ongoing negotiations aimed at stabilising the region.
Humanitarian aid to Gaza also remains critically low as key border crossings have yet to fully reopen. Relief agencies warn the situation is worsening for displaced civilians, with limited access to essential supplies.
Mediators have urged both sides to maintain restraint, but the truce remains fragile as hostilities continue to simmer.
