PALESTINE – At least 70 Palestinians were on Saturday killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza Strip even after Hamas accepted the ceasefire plan and Donald Trump called for the halt to the bombardment.

Trump had urged Israel to “stop bombing Gaza immediately” after Hamas announced its willingness to release Israeli captives according to his proposal, stating he believed the movement was “ready for lasting peace.”

Medical sources and eyewitnesses said that despite the call, Israeli forces struck two homes in Gaza City and in the central Nuseirat refugee camp, leaving at least 6 dead and several others injured.

2 among them were children.

Another Palestinian was killed when Israeli fighter jets struck a house on Yarmouk Street in Gaza City according to local reports.

At least 14 more Palestinians were killed from various Israeli strikes across Gaza City.

In Nuseirat refugee camp, a young girl was killed and others injured in a strike on an apartment in al-Ishrin Street.

Another death was reported elsewhere in the central governorate.

Five Palestinians were killed in the south in scattered attacks.

In Khan Younis, Israeli artillery shelled several areas heavily, while armored vehicles opened fire indiscriminately toward northern and central parts of the city. Northern Khan Younis also came under renewed shelling.

17 Palestinians were killed and others trapped under the rubble when Israeli warplanes struck the al-Mazloum and al-Rafati family home in Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood.

Israeli air and artillery strikes also continued across Gaza City and Khan Younis in the south, with intensified demolition operations using drones and explosives targeting residential buildings in multiple areas of Gaza throughout the night.
