Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Strip Leave at Least 7 Dead and 50 Injured
May 15 marks the 78th "Nakba Day" for Palestine. That evening, Israel launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip once again. Sources from the Gaza Strip's medical department reported that the attacks resulted in at least 7 deaths and 50 injuries. The strikes also triggered severe explosions and fires.
Local resident: The building is packed with women and children, there are displaced persons, children, and women who are being burned alive. Whoever says the conflict in the Gaza Strip has ended is lying. People are dying and getting injured every day, children are dying every day, where is the justice?
Local resident: There is absolutely no ceasefire; any ceasefire is just a piece of paper. My friend, whoever tells you there is a ceasefire, you tell them they are lying. You are just making statements, all lies.
Spokesperson for the Gaza Strip Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal: The Israeli military fired three missiles at a building inhabited by civilians, the Al-Mutaz residential building in the Ramallah community, causing partial damage to the structure. This attack resulted in many people going missing, casualties, and injuries. The building originally housed hundreds of residents, and the missiles were fired without any warning or notification. Many people were killed, and many of their family members were injured.
Israeli officials stated that the attack killed Izaddin al-Hadad, a military leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas. They claimed he is now the commander of Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades.
According to senior Israeli security officials, the Israeli political leadership approved the assassination of al-Hadad about 10 days ago, and since then, they have been monitoring his movements.
Currently, Hamas has not responded to this matter.
