Gaza (QNN)- Ten Palestinians, including women, children, and elderly people, were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in Gaza City on the first day of Eid, in one of the deadliest attacks on Gaza since the so-called US-backed ceasefire took effect.
Medical sources confirmed that ten Palestinians were killed after an Israeli strike targeted a residential building in a densely populated area of central Gaza City overnight.
The attack occurred on the first day of Eid Al-Adha as many Palestinians gathered in the streets and in public spaces in an attempt to celebrate despite ongoing Israeli attacks and the blockade on the Gaza Strip.

There has been a spike in Israeli attacks in the war-torn Strip despite the ceasefire.
Israel has violated the ceasefire which took effect in October more than 3,000 times, killing hundreds and blocking the entry of much-needed aid.
Israeli forces have killed more than 870 Palestinians since the ceasefire, including over 300 children, women, and the elderly.
Over 72,700 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the war began on October 7, 2023.
United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk condemned Israel’s recent attacks in the Gaza Strip, saying that “the unrelenting pattern of killings” reflects Israel’s “sweeping impunity”.
“Palestinians are still being killed and injured in what is left of their homes, shelters and tents of displaced families, on the streets, in vehicles, at a medical facility and a classroom,” Turk said.
