On October 2, 2025, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire across Gaza killed at least 53 Palestinians, including civilians and children. Areas like al-Masawi, al-Bureij refugee camp, and Deir al-Balah were heavily targeted. Israel has nearly encircled Gaza City, treating remaining residents as potential threats. The escalation coincides with Hamas considering Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which demands disarmament, withdrawal from politics, and hostages’ return in exchange for Israeli prisoner releases. Humanitarian conditions worsen with famine and displacement. Global mediators and aid organizations urge immediate action to prevent further civilian casualties. Over 66,000 Palestinians have died since the conflict began. (PC: EPA)
