Over 100 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza City during violent protests along the Israeli border, according to local health officials. The clashes mark one of the bloodiest days in recent memory for the conflict-ridden region.
Escalating Tensions at the Border
Israeli forces opened fire on demonstrators who reportedly attempted to breach the security fence separating Gaza from Israel. The military stated the actions were necessary to prevent mass infiltrations, while Palestinian leaders condemned the response as disproportionate.
International Reactions
The international community has expressed growing concern over the rising death toll. UN officials called for an immediate de-escalation, while human rights groups demanded investigations into potential violations of international law.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Local hospitals in Gaza reported being overwhelmed with casualties, many suffering from gunshot wounds. Medical supplies are running dangerously low as the territory's healthcare system struggles under years of blockade and limited resources.
The violence comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with no immediate signs of resolution to the decades-long conflict between Israel and Palestinian groups.
