Israeli strike on Gaza City apartment kills Palestinian woman, daughter rescued

An Israeli airstrike on a residential block in Gaza City has killed one woman. The rescue of her daughter was captured on camera. The attack happened in the Al-Ramal neighborhood of Gaza City. Elsewhere in the city, there are reports of heavy gunfire targeting vehicles and people. There are near daily attacks on Gaza, despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, which took effect more than a year ago. Ibrahim Al-Khalili joins us from Gaza City. Ibrahim, can you just give us any more information you have about this latest attack, which has left at least one person dead? Yes, Tom. Palestinians continue to wake up to scenes of death and destruction as the Israeli attacks continue on the Gaza Strip. One of the recent Israeli attacks took place at around 4 a.m. this morning while people were asleep. A deadly Israeli attack targeted a residential apartment in a remote neighborhood west of Gaza City, just a few meters from Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital, and killed a 33-year-old woman while her daughter was caught in flames watching her mother burn. The daughter was rescued from that fire with a great level of difficulty from that residential apartment. And for those who are injured in these attacks one deadly journey barely ends before another begins and the struggle is far from over as they reach the hospital they have to receive an urgent medical care and a health care system that has been decimated by war while where the medical staff and facilities are already under enormous pressure the situation is going from bad to worse in the light of these did the Israeli attacks that take place here across the strip and while these attacks happen there are other forms of military activity are taking place in the strip stretching from northern Gaza to Gaza City to the central Gaza where a heavy machine gun were reported in central Gaza on Salah ad-Din Road which is a main road connecting the south from to connecting the south to Gaza City and And people have been facing a lot of dangers in the light of these gunfires that are taking place. Tents are being affected, as well as residential homes. And let's remind our viewers, Tom, that these ceasefire violations are taking place amid a continued series of ceasefire violations, according to Gaza's health ministry. Around 5,000 ceasefire violations have been committed by the Israeli military, killing at least 1,400 Palestinians and people continue to face these ceasefire violations and let them question what might come next in the light of these ceasefire violations that are taking place and they have to worry about much bigger issues where they have to take refuge and when the next strike might happen and these people have been living in the same cycle of displacement here and the sense of uncertainty that these attacks bring on daily basis. These attacks have become a part of daily life of these Palestinians who have witnessed an unimaginable reality here on the ground. Tom, thank you so much for all of that bringing us the realities of what it is like right now in Gaza. Ibrahim Al-Khalili in Gaza City for us.
