The Israeli military is investigating reports of an attack that resulted in the deaths of at least 55 people, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. The incident occurred in the Gaza Strip, where violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants has escalated in recent days.
The Israeli military has not confirmed its involvement in the attack, but tensions have been high in the region following clashes over evictions of Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem. The violence has sparked protests and rocket attacks from both sides, leading to multiple casualties.
The Palestinian Civil Defense has been working to rescue survivors and provide medical assistance to those injured in the attack. The death toll is expected to rise as more information becomes available.
International organizations and world leaders have called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the violence in Gaza. The United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in the region and has called for both sides to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians.
The escalating conflict in Gaza has raised fears of a full-scale war between Israel and the Palestinian territories. The international community is urging all parties to de-escalate tensions and work towards a peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict.
The Israeli military and Palestinian authorities are continuing to investigate the attack and the circumstances surrounding it. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further violence and casualties.
