Israel launches fresh airstrikes and artillery shelling on Gaza
On February 20, the Israeli military launched a wave of airstrikes and artillery fire on targets in the Gaza Strip, killing at least five people, including a woman and a child, and wounding 12 others. The strikes hit residential buildings and infrastructure, with rescue teams searching for victims under debris. Israel said the operation was in response to rocket fire from Gaza the previous night, while Palestinian factions vowed retaliation, raising international calls for restraint.
