Hamas Accuses Israel Of Killing 90 People In New Airstrikes

Israel is yet to comment on the claims made by Hamas.

Palestinian organization Hamas says Israeli airstrikes killed at least 90 people in the northern Gaza town of Jabalia.

Israel has yet to comment on the claims by Hamas’ health officials and insists that airstrikes have targeted terrorist infrastructure.

Recall that since the start of the war, Israel has warned people to vacate Jabalia which has been a refugee camp in Gaza’s north.

As global calls for a ceasefire led by the UK, Germany, and France intensifies, the United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is expected to hold a meeting with Israeli officials on Monday.

• The UN Security Council is expected to vote for a new ceasefire

While the United States is working towards toning down a new draft resolution calling for a ceasefire, the United Nations Security Council is set to conduct a new vote for a ceasefire that would allow aid into Gaza via air, sea, and land.

Reports from the AFP news agency say a new resolution for “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities” drafted by the United Arab Emirates is set for vote today. The UAE resolution draft also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and makes strong calls for a two-state solution.

It will be recalled that the United States, through its veto power, blocked a UN Security Council resolution seeking a “humanitarian ceasefire.

Since Hamas broke through the heavily guarded Israeli security perimeter, killed 1,200, and took 240 hostages (some of whom were released during a temporary truce) on October 7, 2023, Israel has replied with unending airstrikes that have claimed thousands of Palestinian lives.
