At least 30 Palestinians were martyred in a series of intense Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Saturday morning, according to Palestinian media sources.

Al-Aqsa TV reported that 18 people were killed in Israeli bombings that struck multiple areas in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Earlier, Palestinian state television confirmed the death of 11 civilians from the same family after an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Bayram family’s home in the Khan Younis refugee camp at dawn.

Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, described the incident as a massacre, stating:
“Eleven Palestinian civilians were martyred, including four children—three of them infants. One was just a month old, while the other two were one-year-olds.”

These deadly strikes are part of Israel’s ongoing offensive against Gaza, which has drawn increasing international criticism amid mounting civilian casualties and the targeting of residential homes and refugee camps.
