Israeli forces kill at least 24 in three separate airstrikes on Gaza
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza
At least 24 Palestinians were killed in three separate airstrikes launched by Israeli forces on the Gaza City early on Tuesday (June 25).
According to the Gaza health officials and medics, one of the deceased was Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh's sister.
The Israeli air offensive also targeted two schools in the Gaza city that were sheltering internally displaced people. This claimed the lives of at least 14 people, said the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the strikes were aimed at "terrorists operating inside two structures" and that the targets were "terrorists involved in holding hostages.”
IDF released a statement saying that the "aerial surveillance checks, precise munitions, and additional intelligence measures were all used in order to mitigate harm to civilians."
Israel also bombarded a house in the Shati (Beach) refugee camp killing 10 people.

The house reportedly belonged to the Hamas leader's extended family.
"They were 10 individuals, three of them were scattered outside the house and seven under the rubble - with no prior warning, with people around them, and there are injuries among the neighbours," Hassan Kaskin, a neighbour, told news agency Reuters.
'Intense phase of Gaza war winding down,' says Netanyahu
This comes two days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a TV interview said that the "intense phase" of the Gaza war was "winding down".
He stressed that the war would continue until the Hamas group no longer controlled the besieged Palestinian enclave.
In his first TV interview since Hamas' Oct 7 assault, Netanyahu on Sunday (June 23) stated that once the intense phase comes to an end, the Israeli forces would be deployed along the northern border with Lebanon, where the fighting with the Iran-backed Hezbollah group has intensified.
"The intense phase of the fighting against Hamas is about to end," Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel's Channel 14.
He then said that the aim was to "uproot the Hamas regime in Gaza," rejecting the Palestinian militant group's demand for a complete ceasefire.
'Gaza suffers near total breakdown of law and order,' says UNRWA chief
The head of the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency on Tuesday said that Gaza was suffering a "near total breakdown of law and order" which was making it difficult for the agencies to deliver aid.
"Basically, we are confronted nowadays with a near total breakdown of law and order," UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini told reporters, blaming in part an increase in gangs involved in cigarette smuggling.
"It's becoming more and more complicated (to deliver aid)," he added.
