Israeli strikes on Gaza killed at least 29 people, including 19 in Beit Lahiya, where a family of eight died. The strikes targeted areas near a hospital, causing panic among patients. The Israeli military claimed it aimed at a Hamas militant and disputed casualty reports. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict persists despite ceasefire efforts, with U.S. administrations seeking resolution. Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya reported distress calls from trapped individuals but couldn’t assist due to ongoing risks.
