Israel kills 35 as Gaza City neighbourhood block bombed to rubble

At least 35 Palestinians were killed after Israeli warplanes bombed residential buildings in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood. Local authorities say more than 80 people are still missing under the rubble, as rescue teams struggle to reach them due to destroyed roads. Footage from the scene shows widespread devastation. Witnesses described it as a massacre, with one hospital overwhelmed and calling for urgent blood donations. Paramedics say they are running out of fuel and medical supplies, and cannot access many of the injured. Israel claimed it was targeting a senior Hamas fighter but did not name the individual. The military said it took steps to minimise civilian harm, despite the high number of casualties and destruction to an entire residential block.
