Israeli Strikes Kill 92 in Gaza, Including 39 Children and 2 Journalists, Amid 20th Month of War

Israeli military strikes across Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 92 people, including women, 39 children, and two journalists, as reported by local health authorities and hospital officials. The attacks, which intensified over a 24-hour period, included strikes on schools sheltering displaced Palestinians, a crowded market, and a restaurant in Gaza City. One of the deadliest incidents occurred when an Israeli airstrike hit the Karama School in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, killing 15 people. Another strike near a restaurant and market in the same city claimed at least 23 lives, including women and children. In central Gaza, two airstrikes on a school in the Bureij camp killed at least 33 people, with 86 others wounded. The violence comes as Israel prepares to escalate its military campaign against Hamas, with plans to seize more territory in Gaza, forcibly displace Palestinians to the south, and control aid distribution. The Israeli government has approved a plan to intensify operations, which will be implemented after U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the region later this month. The conflict, now in its 20th month, has led to over 52,000 total deaths and 118,000 wounded in Gaza, affecting its 2.3 million population. Amidst the escalation, there is serious concern for the survival of three hostages previously believed to be alive.
