Israeli strikes at Gaza Restaurant and Market Kill 33

At least 33 Palestinians were killed and dozens of injured in two Israeli shots at a crowded restaurant and market on the same street in Gaza, medics and Hamas Health Ministry.

Graphic videos posted on social media have shown that the bodies are descending at tables at the Thailand Restaurant, in the North Rimal neighborhood, which also worked as a community cuisine.

The footage of the nearby market showed a small child with a backpack lying dead on the street.

Israeli military said it was considering reports.

Earlier, hospitals said at least 59 people were killed in Tuesday night attacks, most of them in two schools serving as shelters for displaced families.

The strikes come when Israel says he is preparing to strengthen and expand his military campaign against Hamas after 19 months of war.

The two strokes on Al -Vahda Street in Rimal – one of the most loaded shopping centers of Gaza – happened almost simultaneously on Wednesday afternoon, at a distance of about 100 m (330 feet).

Shorts from the scene shortly afterwards showed that the wounded people were transported on chairs and in the back of the cars.

A woman carrying a baby in her hands and accompanied by two other children, told Reuters news agency that they were at a restaurant in Thailand when she was struck.

“Everyone died,” she said. “Blood was like a lake, oh, my baby, blood pools.”

Photos, shared by local activists who could not be checked immediately, showed a number of bodies. They seem to include a boy who sells coffee, two parents and their little son and a market seller sitting next to his small stall.

The Palestinian journalist Yahya Sobi was also killed, their colleagues said, just hours after his wife gave birth to his first child.

In another video, the owner of a nearby Palmyra Abu Saleh Restaurant said that many children, elderly and passers -by were killed.

Turning to the Israeli military, he asked, “What do you want (you) to achieve? You have not bombed fighters or no weapons. You only hit civilians.”

The restaurant in Thailand was destroyed during last year’s Israeli surgery on Earth at Al-Shifa Hospital, but was recently restored using tents and improvised structures.

In addition to the sale of main dishes, the restaurant prepared hundreds of hot meals every day so that humanitarian organizations can be distributed to poor and displaced people.

Hamas’s government office in Gaza has accused Israeli military of war crimes, “deliberately targeting civilian and displaced gatherings” in four separate incidents in 24 hours.

Women and children were among 33 people who were killed when the school at Burey’s refugee camp in central gas was bombed twice twice on Tuesday, according to the Hamas Civil Protection Agency.

Witness Ali Al Shakra said on Wednesday that 300 families were staying at the school and that the effect of the strike was like an “earthquake”.

Israeli military said they had hit “terrorists operating at the Hamas Command and Control Center.”

The military has not yet commented on a strike at the school in Al -Karama in the eastern Tufa neighborhood in Gaza on Wednesday morning, which the civil protection said they had killed another 15 people.

He comes against the backdrop of the international condemnation of Israel’s plans to expand and strengthen his offensive against Hamas.

Israeli officials have said they include seizure throughout the territory indefinitely, forcibly displacing the Palestinians to the south, and taking up aid with private companies, despite the UN protests and its humanitarian partners.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that his security cabinet had decided on a “strong operation” to destroy Hamas and save his other hostages. He said that 2.1 million Gaza’s population “would be moved to protect it” and that the troops “will not enter and go out.”

Israel cut all supplies to the gas on March 2 and resumed its offensive two weeks later after the collapse of two months of ceasefire, stating that it puts pressure on Hamas to release its 59 other hostages.

The updated Israeli strikes and ground operations have already led to hundreds of casualties and the displacement of approximately 423,000 people, with about 70% of the gas being placed under Israeli evacuation orders within the job area or both, according to the UN.

Help agencies also warned that mass fasting is inevitable unless the blockade is over.

The UN said Israel is obliged to guarantee food and medical supplies to the Gaza population. Israel said it was responsible for international law and had no shortage of assistance, as thousands of trucks were loading up during the termination of fire.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa, who is based on the occupied west coast, told the BBC that the Gaza situation was a “real disaster”.

“It can’t go on. It’s siege, hunger. No water, no electricity, no hope,” he said.

Mustafa called on the international community to strengthen his efforts to unite a new transaction to end the fire and hostage between Israel and Hamas as quickly as possible, warning: “People die every day in gas and this should not happen anymore.”

An Israeli official said on Monday that the extended offensive would not start only after the visit of US President Donald Trump to the region next week, providing what he called Hamas’s “Opportunity Window” to agree to a deal.

Hamas Basm Naim, however, said on Tuesday that “there is no sense” for negotiations, while Israel continued what he called “war of hunger.”

The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.

Since then, at least 52,653 people have been killed in Gaza, including 2.545 of the resumption of the Israeli offensive, according to the health ministry in the territory.
