An Israeli airstrike targeting a residence in western Gaza City has resulted in the deaths of at least five Palestinians and injuries to several others, according to medical sources. This incident has brought the total number of fatalities on Saturday to a minimum of 20.

The occurrence has prompted calls from various quarters for the international community to exert “immediate pressure” on Israel to halt the ongoing violence.

Among the targets was a family home in Gaza City, highlighting the personal impact of the conflict. The incident was captured by photographers from Getty and Anadolu.

The Israeli military has stated that the airstrikes were a retaliatory measure after a gunman breached the so-called Yellow Line within the Gaza Strip, an area from which Israeli forces have withdrawn, and opened fire on Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli military said its strikes were in response to a gunman crossing the so-called Yellow Line within the Gaza Strip, behind which Israeli forces have withdrawn, and firing at Israeli soldiers.

Israel and Hamas have repeatedly accused each other of violating the truce since it came into effect.
