Israeli strikes in Gaza Restaurant and Market Kill 33

At least 33 Palestinians were killed and dozens of Israeli strikes were wounded in a crowded restaurant and market in the same street in Gaza city, say medical professionals and the Hamas-led Ministry of Health.

Graphic videos published on social media showed bodies that had sunken the Thailandy Restaurant in the Northern Rimal Viertel at the table, which also worked as a community kitchen.

The film material from the nearby market showed a small child with a backpack that was dead on the street.

The Israeli military said that the reports have examined.

Previously, hospitals had said that at least 59 people had been killed in attacks since Tuesday evening, most of them in two schools that acted as accommodation for displaced persons.

The strikes come, as Israel says, that it is preparing to intensify and expand its military campaign against Hamas after 19 months of war.

The two strikes in the Al -Wahda Street in Rimal – one of the most busy commercial hubs in Gaza – occurred almost simultaneously on Wednesday afternoon, about 100 m (330 feet).

Shortly afterwards, the film material from the scene showed the wounded people on chairs and in the back of cars.

A woman who wore a baby in her arms and was accompanied by two other children told the Reuters news agency that they were in the Thailandy restaurant when it was hit.

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

Photos of local activists who could not be verified immediately showed a number of bodies. They seemed to contain a boy who sat coffee, two parents and their little son and a market dealer at his little stand.

The Palestinian journalist Yahya Shaben was also killed, colleagues said, only a few hours after his wife gave birth to her first child.

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

He spoke to the Israeli military and asked: “What do you want to achieve (you)? You have not bombarded any fighters or weapons. They only beat civilians.”

The Thailandy restaurant was destroyed in the nearby Al-Shifa Hospital during last year’s Israeli ground operation, but was recently rebuilt with tents and temporary structures.

In addition to the sale of fundamental meals, the restaurant prepared hundreds of hot meals for humanitarian organizations every day to distribute their arms and displaced persons.

The Gaza government media office led by Hamas accused the Israeli military of committing war crimes by “intentionally aiming for meetings by the civilian population and displaced persons in four separate incidents over 24 hours”.

Women and children were among 33 people who were killed when the UN school school in Abu Hakeisa in the Bureij refugee camp in the center of Gaza was bombed twice on Tuesday, according to the civil protection authority operated by Hamas.

Witness Ali al-Shaqra said on Wednesday that 300 families had lived in school and that the impact of the strike was like an “earthquake”.

The Israeli military said it was “terrorists who operated within a Hamas command and control center”.

On Wednesday morning, the military commented on the Al-Karama School in the East Tuffah district in Gaza City, which killed civil defense another 15 people.

In the middle of the international conviction of Israel’s plans to expand and intensify its soil offensive against Hamas.

Israeli officials have explained that they involve the entire area indefinitely, violently displace the Palestinians to the south and take over the sales department with private companies despite the United Nations protests and their humanitarian partners.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that his security cabinet had decided for a “powerful operation” to destroy Hamas and save her remaining hostages. He said that the 2.1 million population of Gaza “is moved to protect it”, and these troops “will not occur and come out”.

Israel cut off all supplies to Gaza on March 2 and resumed two weeks later after the collapse of a two -month ceasefire.

The renewed Israeli strikes and land operations have already led to hundreds of victims and the shift of an estimated 423,000 people, with about 70% of the Gaza under Israeli evacuation arrangements within an Israel designed “no-go” zone or both in accordance with the UN zone.

Aid agencies have also warned that the mass hunger is imminent unless the blockade ends.

The UN said Israel was obliged under international law to ensure food and medical care for the population of Gaza. Israel said that it complies with international law and that there is no tool because thousands of truck loads have entered the Gaza during the ceasefire.

The Palestinian Minister of Authority Mohammad Mustafa, which is based in the occupied West Bank, told the BBC that the situation in Gaza was “a real disaster”.

“It can’t go on. It is a siege, a famine. No water, no electricity, no hope,” he said.

Mustafa asked the international community to improve efforts to convey a new ceasefire and a hostage publication between Israel and Hamas as quickly as possible.

An Israeli official said on Monday that the extended offensive would only begin after the visit of US President Donald Trump in the region next week and what he described as a “opportunities window” who agreed to reconcile Hamas to reconcile a deal.

However, a high -ranking official bass NAIM said on Tuesday that it “had no sense” for negotiations, while Israel continued what he described as a “hunger war”.

The Israeli military started a campaign for the destruction of Hamas in response to an unprecedented border attack on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

Since then, at least 52,653 people have been killed in Gaza in Gaza, including 2,545 since the Territory Ministry of Health, since the Israeli offensive have been resumed.
