CROSSFIREARABIA – Six Palestinians, including a child, were killed and 14 others wounded in the latest Israeli attack on a café in the fishermen’s port, west of Gaza City, Tuesday evening. The Health Ministry stated six martyrs and 14 others wounded and taken to Al-Shifa Hospital after Israeli warplanes targeting civilians on the Gaza beach cafe. Local sources reported the Israeli strikes at the café were so hard that people fell into the port basin and had to be rescued. Some of the injured remain in critical condition. The martyrs are: Ezz El-Din Salem Deeb, Jihad Muhammad Hamdi Al-Masri, Muhammad Hamdi Ahmed Al-Masri, Essam Muhammad Musa Murtaja, Muhammad Fathi Hussein Nasser, and Samed Samir Harb Abu Habel. This escalation comes as Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the “ceasefire” agreement with ongoing attacks throughout the Gaza Strip, amid a worsening humanitarian situation and escalating risks to the lives of civilians and displaced persons.
