At least 102 Palestinians, including several children, have been killed and more than 100 injured by the Israeli military across the Gaza Strip on the first two days of Eid al-Adha, the most significant Islamic holiday of the year.
Airstrikes hit residential areas in Gaza City, Khan Younis and Jabalia around dawn on Friday, according to multiple reports, killing at least 42 and injuring dozens.
On Saturday, at least 60 Palestinians, including six children, were killed and more than 100 injured by Israeli airstrikes on multiple residential areas in Gaza City and the al-Mawasi refugee camp in Rafah, according to the enclave’s civil defense agency. Their spokesperson Mahmoud Basel described Saturday’s attacks to Al Jazeera as a “full-fledged massacre.”
In one residential building in Gaza City, 16 members of the same family were reportedly killed.
According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli military said it killed Asaad Abu Sharia in the strike, leader of the "Hamas-aligned Mujahideen Brigades."
Moreover, eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers while trying to get supplies from a US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) aid distribution center in Rafah, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The Israeli military has been accused of opening fire on Palestinian civilians around GHF-run sites in the enclave multiple times this week.
The horrific attacks come as Palestinians commemorate Eid surrounded by destruction for the second year in a row.
Traditionally a time to gather with loved ones and share joy with the community, Muslims in Gaza were seen performing prayers at the ruins of mosques with little to eat.
“This is the worst Eid that the Palestinian people have experienced because of the unjust war against the Palestinian people,” Kamel Emran told France 24 after praying at a destroyed mosque in Khan Younis on Friday. “There is no food, no flour, no shelter, no mosques, no homes, no mattresses. ... The conditions are very, very harsh.”
Friday and Saturday’s attacks followed a Thursday airstrike on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, run by the Anglican Church, that killed four Palestinian journalists.
Ahmed Qaljah for Al Arabiya TV, Samir al-Rifai for Shams News Agency, and Suleiman Hajjaj and Ismail Badah for Palestine Today TV were killed, according to Middle East Eye.
