The Israeli military launched an airstrike on a charity kitchen in the Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinians. The incident comes amid escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, increasingly affecting civilian and humanitarian facilities.
The charity kitchen, which operated to provide food for Gaza's severely deprived population, was partially destroyed in the strike. Casualties included aid workers at the site. Officials have not yet released the victims' identities.
Israel has not officially commented on the incident, but military sources suggest the attack targeted Hamas militants suspected of operating near the area. International humanitarian organizations have condemned the strike as a violation of international humanitarian law for targeting a civilian facility.
The airstrike occurs amid a war between Israel and Hamas that has lasted over three months, killing thousands of Palestinians and displacing hundreds of thousands. Ceasefire efforts mediated by the United Nations and other countries have yet to yield tangible results.
