In the Gaza Strip, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 15 individuals, including six children and two women, as reported by Palestinian medical officials on October 15, 2024. The strikes occurred overnight, with a significant attack hitting a house in Beni Suhaila, where ten members of one family were killed. Another strike in Fakhari resulted in five casualties, including three children. The ongoing conflict has seen Israel conducting extensive military operations in northern Gaza, particularly in Jabaliya, where families remain trapped due to continuous bombardment. Residents report hearing persistent gunfire and explosions, indicating the severity of the situation. The conflict has escalated since Hamas-led militants breached Israel's security fence over a year ago, leading to significant casualties and widespread destruction in Gaza, displacing approximately 90% of its population. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen as the war devastates infrastructure and living conditions in the region.
