Gaza
\nAt least nine Palestinians, including five children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Sunday as Gazans marked the first day of Eidul Fitr.
\nPalestinian officials said Israeli forces targeted several locations across the enclave, including residential areas, adding to the growing death toll in the nearly six-month-long war.
\nFour people were killed in an Israeli shelling that hit a tent sheltering displaced families in the Qizan Abu Rishwan area, south of Khan Yunis, said the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
\nTwo more civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Jabalia, in the north of the enclave. A separate dronFe strike wounded several civilians in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah.
\nThe attacks came as families across Gaza attempted to observe Eidul Fitr, the major Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, under conditions of ongoing war and displacement.
\nMedical sources reported that the total number of people killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, has now reached 50,277. At least 114,095 others have been injured.
\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office said on Sunday that Israel has submitted a counterproposal to Hamas, following the group\u2019s acceptance of a new ceasefire plan mediated by Egypt and Qatar.
\nThe details of the counterproposal have not been made public, and ceasefire negotiations remain uncertain.
\nThe bombardment follows nearly six months of intensive fighting in Gaza, amid repeated international calls for a ceasefire and protection of civilians. Many parts of the territory remain in ruins, and aid organisations have warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
