An Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s Al-Baqa seafront café killed at least 20 Palestinians on Monday, according to rescuers and eyewitnesses. The café, popular with journalists and activists, was hit amid a wave of Israeli bombings across Gaza, displacing hundreds. Emergency workers retrieved bodies and searched a crater left by the blast. Strikes also hit schools sheltering civilians in Zeitoun and Al Shati camp. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry reports over 56,000 killed since October. Despite US pressure for a ceasefire, Israeli attacks continue. Eyewitnesses say evacuation alerts are frequent, with some forced to flee repeatedly without aid, food, or shelter. (PC: BBC)
