A young Palestinian girl was miraculously pulled alive from the debris of a destroyed home in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood following an Israeli airstrike that killed six people and injured multiple others. The strike, which targeted a residential building late Tuesday, has drawn renewed attention to escalating tensions in the region.
Emergency crews worked for hours to free the child from the rubble as ambulances transported the dead and wounded to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. Medical staff reported critical injuries among survivors, including children.
The incident comes amid heightened regional instability, with analysts noting increased military activity along Gaza's border areas. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for protection of civilians in conflict zones, citing growing concerns about civilian infrastructure damage.
While immediate rescue efforts focused on survivors, questions linger about the strike's broader context within ongoing regional disputes. The United Nations has recorded over 150 conflict-related fatalities in Gaza this year, with civilian casualties rising sharply since October.
