Grief on Eid: Gaza sees heavy civilian death toll

(Web Desk): Over a 100 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, including 21 since dawn today, and at least 393 injured in Israeli attacks across the enclave, according to Palestinian health sources.

At least 21 Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip since this morning, Al Jazeera reported.

Israeli forces targeted buildings east of the Jabalia refugee camp, with reports indicating that several residential structures were destroyed. An Israeli helicopter also fired on homes east of Gaza City, leading to multiple casualties.

Additional attacks were reported in northern Gaza, including near Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, with several civilians injured.

In southern Gaza, a drone strike targeted tents in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, killing five Palestinians, including two girls. The al-Mawasi area had previously been designated a "safe zone" by Israeli authorities, but has now become a frequent target of airstrikes.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces conducted several raids across the occupied West Bank, arresting Palestinians in towns such as Arura, Jalazone, Kafr Malek, Balata, and al-Khader.

These operations have raised concerns among local and international observers about the ongoing security situation in the region.
