Fresh Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have sparked fears of a return to full-scale war despite an ongoing “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas. At least 10 people, including four children, were killed after a residential building in Gaza City was hit overnight during Eid celebrations. More than 20 others were reportedly injured in the attack. According to reports, the Israeli Air Force targeted senior Al-Qassam Brigades figures, including commanders linked to Hamas’s northern operations in Gaza City. The strike came shortly after the funeral of Mohammad Odeh, a senior Hamas military leader killed in an earlier Israeli attack.
