With over 700 people killed in one night, Gaza witnessed the ‘bloodiest night’ in the ongoing war on Tuesday as Israel intensified its operation on the sixteenth day. The death toll overnight has been termed as the record-highest since the war started on October 7. While the Israeli military claims to have hit over 400 Hamas targets, killing dozens of militants, the attacks also hit Jabalia and Beit Lahia in the north, Al Wusta and Al Rimal neighbourhood, Al Shati camp in the west, and Khan Younis and Rafah in the south, within a space of 24 hours, crushing families in the rubble of residential buildings. Israel reported 320 strikes the day before.
