Israel strikes Gaza killed more than 90 people in 48 hours, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced on Saturday, while Israeli troops increase the attacks to put Hamas to release its hostages and disarm.
The dead include 15 people who were killed overnight, including women and children, some of whom have sheltered in an designated humanitarian area, according to hospital staff.
At least 11 people were killed in the southern city of Khan Younis, including several in a tent in the Mwasi region where hundreds of thousands of displaced people live, hospital workers said. Israel has appointed it as a humanitarian area.
Four other people were killed in separate strikes in Rafah City, including a mother and daughter, according to European hospital, where the bodies were brought.
In a statement published on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly allegedly allegedly “rejected a proposal that could have led to the release of half of living hostages and the return of many deaths”.
“Let me understand clearly, we will not finish war before destroying Hamas in Gaza, before returning all our hostages, and before ensuring that the Gaza Strip no longer constitutes a threat to Israel,” said Netanyahu.

During the Khan Younis funeral on Saturday afternoon, families cried on the bodies of their loved ones and cried in pain. “Omar left … I want it to be me,” cried the brother of one of the victims.
Israel has promised to intensify attacks through Gaza and occupy large “safety zones” inside the band. For six weeks, Israel also blocked Gaza, except the entry of food and other goods.

This week, aid groups raised the alarm, saying that thousands of children have become malnourished and that most people are barely one meal a day as stocks decrease, according to the United Nations.
On Friday, Dr. Hanan Balkhy, head of the eastern Mediterranean office of the eastern health organization, urged the new American ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, to push the country to lift the blockade of Gaza so that drugs and other aids can enter the band.
“I want him to enter and saw the first hand situation,” she said.
Friday, during his first appearance as an ambassador, Huckabee visited the Western wall, the most sacred Jewish prayer site in the old town of Jerusalem. He inserted a prayer into the wall, which, according to him, was handwritten by American president Donald Trump. Huckabee said all efforts were made to bring the remaining hostages held by Hamas home.
War started when The activists led by Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023Killing around 1,200 people, mainly civilians and removing 251. Most hostages have since been released in cease-fire agreements or other agreements.
Israel’s offensive has since killed more than 51,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The war has destroyed large parts of Gaza and most of its food production capacities. About 90% of the population is moved, with hundreds of thousands of people living in tent camps and bombed buildings.
