The death toll in Gaza surged to at least 687 people on Tuesday, October 10, in the aftermath of a series of airstrikes that followed a Hamas attack on southern Israel. This alarming figure was reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the number of casualties had surpassed 900 following the aggression by Hamas.
A distressing video captured by Alkofiya journalist Amr Tabash has emerged, offering a stark glimpse into the devastating consequences of these attacks. The footage, reportedly recorded in Khan Yunis, portrays the heart-wrenching rescue of a mother and her baby who were trapped beneath the debris.
According to the IDF, their fighter jets conducted airstrikes on more than 200 targets, specifically targeting the areas of Rimal and Khan Yunis, throughout the night leading into Tuesday. This relentless series of attacks has resulted in a substantial increase in casualties, drawing attention to the ongoing tensions and violence that continue to grip this troubled region.
The escalating violence between Hamas and the IDF has provoked international concern, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The world watches with apprehension as the situation in Gaza unfolds, with an ever-mounting human toll reminding us of the urgent need for a peaceful resolution in this long-standing and deeply rooted conflict.
