Israel Intensifies Attacks in Northern Gaza, Killing at Least 25 PalestiniansIsraeli forces have intensified their attacks in northern Gaza, including in the Shejaia area and outskirts of Gaza City, resulting in at least 25 Palestinian deaths. The air strikes destroyed targeted areas, but there was no immediate statement from the Israeli military regarding the incident or the identities of the victims.

Following a warning from the Israeli military, residents were ordered to evacuate before the attack. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, two people were reported killed in the al-Buriej attack, while 15 more died in an air strike in Jabalia.
