Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least 20 in Gaza, Testing Fragile Ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 20 people in Gaza on Saturday, according to local health authorities. More than 80 others suffered injuries. The violence presents a major challenge to the fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Witnesses and medical staff reported that the first strike hit a car in the densely populated Rimal neighborhood. The attack set the vehicle on fire. It remains unclear if the five fatalities were inside the car or were bystanders. Dozens of people rushed to the scene to extinguish the flames. The latest incident increases fears of a renewed escalation in the conflict.
