Israeli forces kill 20 in Gaza on Eid day 

Israeli forces continued with their brutality and did not spare Palestinians on the first day of Eid al-Azha, one of Islam's holiest festivals.

They carried out a series of airstrikes and artillery attacks across the Gaza Strip on Friday morning, killing 20 people and injuring several others, according to eyewitnesses and medical sources.

Despite the festive occasion, many Palestinians performed Eid prayers amid the rubble of their destroyed homes, as Israel’s genocidal war continues to devastate the besieged enclave.

In southern Gaza, Israeli warplanes carried out multiple raids in Khan Younis, while heavy artillery targeted residential neighborhoods in the central, northern, and eastern parts of the city, witnesses said.

Plumes of smoke rose across southern Khan Younis as shelling and air raids intensified.

According to medical sources, a child was shot dead by Israeli forces near the Al-Saraya detention area in Khan Younis. Another civilian succumbed to injuries sustained in a previous Israeli strike on the city.
