Deadly Israeli strikes mar Gaza Eid celebrations as Netanyahu says pressure on Hamas is ‘working’
- On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes in the Al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza, specifically Khan Younis, killed 10 people, including children, and injured 20 others when a tent and a home housing displaced individuals were hit.
- The airstrikes occurred as Palestinians in the Gaza Strip observed the first day of Eid-al-Fitr amid dwindling aid supplies and a mounting death toll, following the resumption of the Israeli offensive nearly two weeks prior that shattered a two-month ceasefire and imposed a complete blockade of humanitarian aid.
- Al-Mawasi, a coastal region west of Rafah, which had previously been designated by Israel as a humanitarian area, has repeatedly come under Israeli attacks, leading thousands of Palestinians to flee there and live in makeshift tents with limited access to relief.

- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday vowed to step up the military campaign, stated that pressure on Hamas was 'working' to crush their capabilities and create conditions for the release of the 24 remaining hostages, while Hamas has agreed to a new Egyptian proposal to release five hostages, including American-Israeli Edan Alexander, in exchange for a renewed ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid.
