Israel renews offensive in Gaza, aiming to destroy Hamas and return hostages, amid international controversy and casualties.
Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday (May 25, 2025) killed at least 14 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a mother and her two children who were inside a tent that was struck, local health officials said.
Israel ended a ceasefire and renewed its offensive in March, vowing to destroy Hamas and return the 58 hostages it still holds from the October 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war.
Israel also blocked the import of all food, medicine and fuel for 2 1/2 months before letting a trickle of aid enter last week.
Israel says it plans to seize full control of Gaza and facilitate what it refers to as the voluntary migration of much of its population of 2 million Palestinians, a plan that has been rejected by Palestinians and much of the international community, and which experts say would likely violate international law.
The strike hit a tent housing displaced people in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah, killing the mother, her two children and another relative, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
A strike in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza killed at least five people, including two women and a child, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Additional strikes killed another five people, according to local hospitals.
Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames Hamas for their deaths because it operates in densely populated areas. There was no immediate comment from the military on the latest strikes.
