Israeli Airstrikes Kill 13 Across Gaza

At 2:17 · chapter starts 2:13

Tuesday's violence in Gaza was extensive and, in some cases, harrowing in its detail. Israeli strikes hit several parts of the territory; in Northern Gaza, seven people were killed at a police post where civilians had gathered to file complaints — those killed included the head of police in Northern Gaza and his deputy. In Southern Gaza, the Israeli military said the strike targeted and killed four men it described as Hamas militants. Elsewhere, a strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families, killing one person. In a separately reported incident, health officials confirmed a 10-year-old child was killed by Israeli gunfire — shot with a bullet to the chest. The week's broader toll, according to Gaza's health ministry, stands at 50 killed and more than 200 wounded.
