Israeli strikes kill 42 Palestinians on Eid day

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

At least 42 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Eid-ul-Azha day.

According to Palestinian News & Information Agency (WAFA), shelling, airstrikes reported in Khan Younis, Gaza City, Jabalia amid ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.

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.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing at least 54,677 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 125,530 others.
