Palestinians in Gaza City hold funeral prayers on Thursday for 10 people killed in Israeli strikes the previous night, according to multiple reports. The deaths include five children and an elderly person, alongside a Hamas militant, the France 24 report says. Hospital officials cited by France 24 say more than 20 people are injured. Video from the scene described by France 24 shows flames coming from an upper-floor window of a building, with bystanders helping move wounded people, including children, to ambulances.
Accounts agree that the strikes occur during the Eid period and prompt mourning in the area where the attack took place, with dozens attending the funeral prayers. In parallel, the reports note that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to expand or strengthen Israeli control over the Gaza Strip, though the details of that pledge are not specified in the excerpts provided.
Overall, the sources focus on the immediate casualties and injuries from the strikes, the presence of civilians and militant deaths among those killed, and Netanyahu’s political statement about Gaza governance.
